From what I've been reading it sounds that a good 18650 battery his more punch to it than a 26650 does do to lower internal resistance.basically it fires up faster and stronger? Obviously it doesn't last as long I know. So any truth to this from people that have used both? Thanks
26650 vs 18650 power

The 18650 will "hit harder" but depending on what type of vaper you are really determines if that will matter.
First there is the fact that 18650 batteries have the VTC4/5 that are 30 amps continuous 60 amp burst and 26650's have the MNKE / Sony VT's that are 24 amp continuous and 50 amp peak.
Then there is the internal resistance difference. For instance if you put a 0.2 ohm atomizer on an 18650 device w/ a VTC4/5 it will be around 3.67-3.71 voltage of output. That'a same 0.2 ohm on a 26650 device will have 3.54-5.60 voltage of output.
With all this being said he ultimate choice is up to you. If you plan on staying above 0.2 ohms you won't notice a difference at all. The difference is literally 4 watts at 0.2 ohms. However if you're trying to just max out performance and plan on building insane coils below 0.2 then go with a 18650. I prefer my 26650 devices, having that extra 1 1/2 hours of vape time at 0.25 ohms is important to me.
