14500 AW or Efest?

[NerdVap0r]

Just ordered x2 Nemesis mini SS/brass nemi & Copper/SS nemi. Wondering which of these 2 are prefered & recommended. I don't go below 1.5 ohms. thx

if you ordered the Mini Nemi they come with an extension ring so you can run 14650 batts if you so choose, i'm running e-fest 14650's in my mini nemi.....if your gonna run straight-up 14500's i'd get AW's.....been running my build at 1.3 with no probs.

been using a Mini KF and this VA10 19mm brass atty

The opinion that keeps going 'round here is that the AW's will give you longer run times and life span in the long run. In my own experience the eFest 18350 V2's start out great, but within 60 days the run time starts dropping off - a lot - while AW's still maintain a consistent run time.

thought the op was wanting to know about the 14500 series?

The quality issues cut across the entire product line.

if you took the time to read my post i did recommend 14500 AW's if he wasn't going to run in 14650 mode, nuff said

considering things i'd rather run in 14650 mode and when the batts drop off i'll just buy more, no prob..

....proud to be click-free....and also enjoying my Mini Nemi in 14650 mode w-Efest batts!

Thx guys. i'll be running it in 14500 mode. I ordered 2 aw 14500s from RTD. My gut feeling is telling me to also buy a single efest 14500 and rotate them to see results lol.

You'll be happier with the AW's over the Efests.

I've used both batteries in my Altsmoke BB. The Efests compare with the AW's for a couple of weeks then stop holding a charge as long as the AW's. I only use AW's now.

Go with the AW's, they are a better battery. I have a few Efest's that I bought to compare to my AW's, and after a few months use I can see a difference.

these batteries are getting better as technology advances, i wouldn't believe everything you read here....after-all were not talking about a mountain of cash for these batts......the E-Fest 14650 batteries work and are just fine and last about 1-1/2 hours longer than the reg 14500......you guys say whatever you want but i'm NOT convinced,,,,all-tho i do respect your opinions but i also have my own.....do what you want but in the mean-time i'll use my 14650's just for the extra vape time and when they drop i'll buy more.......good luck & happy motoring........

while AW is traditionally a better cell, i have been pleasantly surprised with my 14500 eFests.

I run the AWs @ 0.8 and higher in a Titanide 14 & KFL+ mini with no problems at all; work great, good run time
