14500s

[Zutankhamun]

I may have missed the question if already asked.

I asked Mooch and he answered and told me he doesn't have any 14500s that he can recommend.

What are the go-to 14500s?
I am in the UK and I'm having trouble finding many. Anybody used the Nitecore IMRs 14500?

AW 14500 650mah. 9a CDR though I've never pushed one more than 6ish a.

Check out HKJ's small cell comparator.
If looking for top performers, I'll save you time:

Enercig EC-14500HP & TN14500HP, Hibatt IMR14500 700mAh, TrustFire IMR14500 700mAh and Windyfire IMR14500 650mAh.
I believe all of these are manufactured by the same OEM, though each brand affords different cell bins. Windyfire is known to be consistent and top bin, but price seems a tad high (you may want to try asking for a cheap shipping quote to your country).
The TrustFire cells can be had for relatively little money in places like FastTech and Kaidomain (hint: use coupon BLF on both sites for a 5% discount).

I use eFests as they were the only 18650's I could find locally and AW's are very expensive here.

I only use them in my Provaris as my mechs are all 18650 and 18350, so I am not concerned.

For mechs or if you want the only real quality and trusted brand 18500, go with AW's.
