I'll look this over tonight at work, don't have time now, and give you my FREE evaluation, LOL.

But the Flashlight guys are almost as bad as the RC guys.
$100 flashlights just to have a $100 flashlight.
That will outshine someone elses $100 flashlight, and by an extra 6 minutes.
Notice the discharge curves that have a slow decay to zero current?
That's discharging an unprotected cell down to nothing.
There are some 65mm long cells in the test (know what that means?)
And darn, some of the protected cells won't even fit, what a shame.

The pretty Red 3000mah cell is red, and pretty, yes,
but 3000mah? not.

I buy them when I can get them for about the same price as the 2400mah cells ($5 or so), mostly because they are pretty. You could always take a dull 2400mah cell and label it 3000mah with a sharpie.
Or maybe someone could market colorful "wraps" for your Li-ion cell.
Bling on the inside.

Rocket,
(and the Rocketman will be unavailable for consultation between 8:30 and 10:00PM, please try again later, your call is important to me)

Well looked over this again and am still confused.
so just the heck with it.
#3 (pretty red) had a long slow discharge and it is protected.
I would have thought that when the cell went into protected cutoff it would cutoff.

Any way, Pretty Red does pretty good, if you get a good price on it, and I have more than the wife and I will use for a long while.

Practice safe vaping, use protection.
