18350, 18490/500 Options

So I'm aware of several choices when it comes to 18650's (Sony, LG, Samsung, etc.), but the only 18350 & 18490 batteries I'm familiar with are AW. What are some other quality options?

There are but why not stick with AW? That's what I'm using and they never give me any issues - the best out there.

Then I shall, thanks.

Agreed. I bought AW in those sizes because I think they are the best available.

The Efest 18500s aren't too bad, though they are a few mm longer than the AW. I have one of those and also a few off-brand 18500s and 18350s, but over the long run the AWs in those two sizes have served me the best. I've used them more often and they're still going strong, while most of the off-brand ones are all starting to show noticeable loss of performance or have gone off to battery heaven already

The new AW 12A 18350 looks like a hell of a battery. Too bad my only 18350 mod won't take button tops.

In 18350/18490 sizes, AW is the best hands .
