    Single 18350 question. Seeking pro advice.

    That is incorrect. Using a pair of 18350 batteries (stacked) will allow the Vamo to run at it's best.

    Silica wick in mesh - Your thoughts?

    You just need the right technique. MopeyRock says his plain 500 mesh wicks great. Works well with beer too.

    So are Nivel and OKR-T/6-W12-C basically the 2 best choices?

    You haven't come close to "So far, 4.18 is the highest" using a 1.5Ω atty. Loaded/vaping volts is all that counts. You are probably averaging ~8W. A truly regulated 4.18V will provide about 50% more Power (watts). That is significant and quite noticeable and depending on the PV ahould...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    FWIW a little water (soak the wick if nothing else) should help with the dust and extend the life of those diamond wheels.

    Genesis Tanks, watts, and muted flavor

    These kinda of discussions, vaping watts, have been going on for a while. The advent of dual coils have lead to some rather arcane reasons on why some folks feel more watts are needed. Your numbers help to describe the difference and also illustrate why the one-size-fits-all watts approach is...

    Low discharge battery

    That's just some poorly worded Chinglish, "low dicharge rate" in this case is probably referring to how much they may drop when unused. All Li-Ions have a "low self-discharge rate" compared to other chemistries. I imagine that's what they were trying to say. How much current a battery can...

    IMRs and Hybrid IMRs

    Well in their literature Panasonic claims that their CGR18650CH is as safe as a LiMn2O4 (IMR) battery. Have you ever seen how the LiPo bags are actually used? Only the batteries are in the bag. Chargers like almost all electrical devices will have various vents to help dissipate the...

    Can I charge 2-18350 batteries in a charger meant for a 18650?

    Then why are you using a Panasonic? Panasonic doesn't even make an IMR (LiMn2O4) battery. And on that gray high drain they don't even have a PTC, which can be found on some of the cheapest batteries made.

    AW IMR fast dropoff?

    Yup. Unless you have an extreme need for a high discharge rate the Li-Ion's mAh trumps the IMR. Here it is visually.

    Flat top AW protected 18650 2600mah indentation ??

    Yes. Maybe you could try a really thin magnet. 1/32". Flat tops can often be problematic. magnets 1/32 inch | eBay As long as they don't shift all is good. I saw on one of the flashlight forums where they had hooked into the little vents and were able to raise up a crushed terminal...

    Vamo battery drain help

    That's why you have to take folks 'hours' of vaping with a grain of salt. It's basically worthless information. I've seen folks say they get over a day with a simple 14500 mod. I'd say 3 hours of decent vaping is pushing it. Giving 'times' in liquid vaped can be more accurate, but then again...
