The neus have kokam taps and will work with a blinky (everything works with a blinky :) )
The Neus are in CA, but they get cells/packs from China. If its not on the shelf it gets ordered and takes a few weeks to get in. None of this they tell you unless you call them tho. I bought the 4S pack mentioned above, waited a week+, then called wondering what was going on. They then told me it was coming and it would be another 2-3 weeks.
don't expect informative emails, you have to call Neu to figure out what is going on.
Conversely, the zips I ordered came from HC within 4 days via EMS, and they do have a nice ordering system, that is assuming what you want IS in stock. No one's got it all figured out yet. lol.

sweet I didn't know the blinky worked with everything! I guess I made a good choice
