    I buy a lot of electronics (and reading glasses) from AliExpress. I had the occasional malfunction but probably not even one in 30-50. Great NEMA motors too and 18650 batteries among other stuff like the Orange Pi, or mega boards.

    A word of caution, there is lot of really cheap stuff that’s quite low quality, and you can’t post reviews under 4 stars (they won’t show up) so you have to check the numbers sold and read the feedback.

    Edit: it also sometimes take 3-4 weeks to get the stuff. It’s like a little surprise sometimes.

      Man, you’re playing with fire by buying 18650s from a vendor that doesn’t test their batches.

          Illumn and imrbatteries are two trusted vendors for both the flashlight and vaping communities. They test each batch to ensure they’re authentic.
