18350 AW v Torchy v Totally Wicked

[Torchy]

The Totally Wicked stated "protected" on the label, but had no protection.
I have been assured that the Torchy batteries are IMR (LiMn2O4) but the internal resistance is on the high side, although lower than any LiCo2 standard Li-Ion battery I have tested.

Actual Capacity (mAh)
Torchy 850mAh 925
Totally Wicked 900mAh (protected?) 773
AW 700mAh 738

Here's how they compare at 1A and 2.5A constant discharge:

C'mon Torchy this is an ecig forum, posting mAh based on a 2.75V cut-off is useless to us.

Note how SuperT (ForcedFuel) does it.

He marks and notes, real world vaping mAh.

For 18650 IMR, 10A is usually a better test:

Not a lot of call for 10A in the ecig world.

It gives a better indication of thermal build up/ likelihood of explosion.
