even dropped it on day 2

Probably a good flagship phone.

well good luck on your order

thanks. For the record Germany is lucky in this. All of the big merchants offer German Express where they take care of taxes for you. Here its manual and outdated.

Checked my last GB order

They sent it with the legit value, but they checked the gift box...

this is contradictory to what their support said.

probably just a happy little accident

dont get taxed below 40 dollars anyway

couldnt have foreseen that happening when they were making a statement on record on their wiki

I was scared when I got two routers worth 40 dollars from GB since thats just the limit, but turned up fine

ah well, I hope its just public apperance.

Will report back on it if anyone even cares. I mean, its not like a ton of people already did this. *they did, a lot of people bought phones from GB...

sure, good luck 😃

What 18650s for a long run time on convoy s2+/C8

30Qs

samsung

nice

@bap I got some Panasonic ones, NCR18650B, they are like 3400 mAh real capacity and the juice is so much I rarely charge my Convoy S2

they also got circuit protection (under-,over-charge and fast depletion) on them, which fits in the Convoy, so I have protection on the battery and in the circuit board of convoy. It will probably never explode.

you probably dont need to pay the extra for this, I just got it since I use dodgy fake LED flashlights with that non-cree brand called latticebright too with shit-tier solder which I dont trust has proper circuit boards

Ye I may buy this

Should be good, I bought LiitoKala when I got them too, Turkey Post somehow smuggles them onboards to airmail.

liitokala seems to take a long time to ship items though

Be aware about the prices, it can be ridiculously high. These are Japan imports so you want a large-scale Chinese importer as proxy.

small ones take outrageous cuts

I tried to source them in my country to no avail, they cost like 25 USD PER PIECE here w/o shipping

liitokala also has a nice chinkshit charger for them if you dont have one and want a cheap one

@bap where are you from?

I got that dual cell charger (lii202) for 6 dollars, as for the batteries I think around 13 dollars for two cells is a good price shipped. You dont need more for two flashlights.

UK

It's the liitokala official store itself on aliexpress that takes a while to ship

I got the two PCB-protected ones for 13 dollars back then. So its funny that two ones here without PCB go for 14 dollars, but I guess its because of shipping issues and that costs a ton.

But batteries are about so much cheaper there than buying at vape stores here in the UK

same feeling here. Also, they are good quality. I have used these two badboys for over a year now.

keep in mind I dont vape, so I dont charge them a lot since most of the day it is sunny, but in the winter it is very dark and its useful.

whatever you do dont go full chink tier batteries

no PCB protection on some shitty vape with some UltraFire that is actually just filled with flour and some small shit battery that cant handle the high output of the vape will most likely explode in your face
