Button tops, quality at least, are rare finds. Flat tops are still available. I purchased 2 adapters for the future life of my provari mini.
Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention, I was referring to flat tops.
As far as that adapter, can you provide a link?

There have been a lot of mass market battery sizes over the decades. Check out one of those battery displays at Walmart. Can you think of any sizes that have been discontinued Even for the obscure ones may be fewer companies make them in shorter production runs and the price gets a bit higher. I'd guess that 18350's are still used in 100's of products.
Not many, if any, quality 18350 high drain lithium ion batteries being produced any more. AW used to make good ones, but they have been out of business for a few years now.

Thanks for the link.
All I have ever used is the Efest 700mAh 7 amp batteries which have worked fine for me vaping at less than 3 amps.
Any one who uses Mechs should read Mooch's blog entries...but you probably already knew that

This thread isn't about where or if one can buy 18350 batteries today, rather it's about if the 18350 size has such low demand in the general market that it could be hard or impossible to find in the very near future.
I probably should've paid more attention in English class
Yep, the red BT AW 18350's went the way of the dinosaurs years ago. Same with all of the red BT AW's for that matter I assume. I still have a fair sized supply of all of them dating back to 2013 (14500, 18350, 18490, 18650) put away in battery cases in a box somewhere in storage from the days of yore when I used them in Reo's and before that GP PAPS, Provari's and other tube mods. All are dead as a door nail now since they have not be charged for many years, probably won't take a charge anymore. But in their days they got the job done in spades.

18350s are still a popular flashlight battery, more so than the 18650. No guarantee that it won't go away, but then no guarantee on 18650 either.
Over all the demand in vaping devices is for more power not less. I'm not surprised that the market for sizes for smaller than 18650 is weak or failing.
