14500 batteries

[Optimo]

What's the best 14500 batteries hands down? Price dosen't matter... I'm looking for a 14500 battery that will last long and pack the best punch without cutting out at 7+volts!

Thanks

I can tell you what you're going to hear from everyone else. AW IMRs

Thanks for the info. So these AW 600mah...how long do they last compared to the normal Trustfire or Ultrafire 14500 900mah?

AW IMRs. Available from Lighthound, 4 sevens, and other fine stores. Maybe even Super T Manufacturing

OK, just checked Super T Manufacturing.

They have them for $6.89 a piece (limit 6) plus only $1.35 for shipping for orders up to $36. Sounds like the best deal.

Glad I looked it up. I need to order some 18350's for my Rough Stack.

what about a charger? will my charger that charges my ultrafires charge the aw imrs? Also, my ultrafire's are 900mah.. these aw imr's are 600... won't the ultrafires last longer? Also, what about the "high drain"... sorry, but also thinking of changing batteries.

You can use the same charger. The IMR's will give that "fresh off the charger" vape longer then drop off fast. The regular protected batteries start to degrade right away. For me I will get more usable battery time out of an IMR unless I have to vape it until it's dead (like when I don't have a spare with me), then the regular will last a little longer.
