So new to buying batterys, the only device I have is a provari 2.5 so only low wattage vaping here, usually <7 watts, <2.5 amps
Two questions:
1:
Being that I'm drawing such low amps I ordered some red efest 18490 1100 mah, 8C from IMRBatteries. They don't seem to have anything other than cheap batteries unless it's 18650. They have worked perfectly.
One of the batteries I got had a small black spec on the positive end, I didn't think anything of it at the time (few wks ago) and have been using it, charging fine no issues. No heat. Performs perfect. I was wondering if you guys could take a look and tell me if it's a bad sign and should be thrown out?
Again this did not happen from use, it came like that.

Second question, I need some 18350s. Being that I'm only drawing <2.5 amps are the red efest 18350 OK? Very cheap which is a bit concerning.
Here is the list of 18350s they carry, which one is best for a provari?
XTAR 18350, 850 mAh, black and gold
IMREN 18350, 800 mAh, blue
Efest 18350, 800 mAh, red
Efest 18350, 700 mAh, purple
MXJO 18350, 800 mAh, red
MXJO 18350, 700 mAh, 10.5A, yellow

Are any of those acceptable? Or are they all crap?
Thanks
