Olight 14500

[john-paul]

Anybody else have a problem with their Olight 14500 cells being too long? I just got four in the mail charged them up, and I only have one light a Xenocube that they work in. I think that is actually a fluke because they don't work in my other Xenocube. My battery crushers can't close enough to activate. This is the first time I have deviated from AW. Starting to think I made a $20 mistake, not that big of a deal just curious if I'm alone in this.

yeah they have the dubious distinction of not fitting in their very own S15 LOL

Wow that pic says it all. I should have stuck with AW, but with Lighthound closed now I need to find another reliable seller of authentic AW's

At least the trustfire is still shrunk wrap.
Safer in recycling that way.

Why is that?

 

[WarRaven]

Around here, no one trusts any cell with a name of something like
xxxxfire.
Usually fake cells that when put to the test, fail, some fail worse then others and release their magic smoke and as a bonus volcanic spewing is included.

rtdvapor.com has a good reputation for selling AW. The unprotected AW 14500 650mAh I just bought is only 48.7mm long.

Thank you, just looked them up good prices too. couple of the places I would absolutely trust had very high price point. I'm not a cheapskate but $14 for one 14500 is just not worth it.

Anybody want these four Olight cells? Pay for shipping to house and they are yours. I would rather give them away then store them until I find a light that fits them.

 

[WarRaven]

I would if you'd ship to Canada?

Post is closed today, I'll pack it up and see what it will cost. PM me your address and i'll let you know tomorrow.

 

[WarRaven]

Excellent thank you so much.☺

In case WarRaven decides to pass, please put me second in line. Shipping to California should be relatively easy.

 

[chriscorv58]

I could use them worst case they will fit in my ecig.

After ruminating on this yesterday, it occurred to me that gifting unneeded batteries to a reviewer such as HKJ or Selfbuilt is another possibility.

Or doc007s giveaway thread!

 

[WarRaven]

I feel stupid I didn't think to suggest they should have been given away by Doc.
I don't have any, saw the offer and asked first, my bad all.
If John-Paul has not mailed them already, that is an idea to consider.

I have both versions of the Xeno Cube. One unscrews in the middle of the body and in the other it unscrews from the tail cap, but I haven't tried Olight 14500 cells in them. Makes me wonder if they'd work now.

Both Xenocubes I have unscrew at the tail cap, one worked but would not close to flush. The other did not play well with the Olight cell. It came on high and did nothing else no mode switches wouldn't turn off. Actually stayed on for a few seconds with the tail cap completely removed.
