So I am browsing the Internet trying to find some AW IMR 10440s for a build and well every
single vendor is completely sold out. So I guess my questions are: Is there an equal or better
quality substitute? If not, where can I buy them?

Everywhere is having a shortage of cells since they cant be shipped out of china anymore. Go search BLF for this, there are a few dozen topics over there about this. I have an order that has taken over 60 days from FT right now, still waiting on it

Exactly, most rap today is about:

"Bitches"
"Money"
And of course...
"Cars"

Okay, I finally found an article on this. eBay Warns of Delays from Hong Kong Due to Lithium-Battery Ban
Apparently the only way to get batteries out of China now is on the slow boat. Rep handouts
to commence immediately.

Haha, wonder why they haven't even started sooner.

Lithium batteries should never be transported on an Aircraft in the first place :can:

All I see are UltraFire and TrustFire. Those aren't the same thing, are they?

Think basically same bats, even think they are made form the same company. But not 100% sure.

No worries. Ive bought 2 lots of batteries from him and they arrived in about 8 days from the US, which is even on par with DTR's stellar shipping! ATB :beer:
