18650 Battery opinions

[MadHatter]

For those of you who have a P18, which battery do you prefer or think works best? The AW IMR 1600, the AW 2600, or the AW 2900?

Love my P10, so decided to try the P18 next.

I use the AW 2900 with my P18! Excellent mod!

I use the 2600 and 2900. The IMR you have to fiddle around and add O rings and get a lot less batt time especially if you use LR attys

I definitely recommend the AW2600mah. Great bang for the buck. Both the AW 2600mah and 2900mah have plenty of amperage to drive an LR atomizer just as well as an IMR and many report longer life out of them (the 2600mah and 2900mah). I do find when running the 2900mah version, it is a bit longer than the 2600mah, so switching to the included .070 thick Oring in the bottom of your battery chamber may be necessary.

If 1600 mah will last you all day, which it should, I would go with IMR. Normal protected batteries will last longer, but they do not give out consistent power. IMR will give you the same amount of power until it dies. They also have a higher output. Coupling an IMR with an LR atty gives the feel and vapor production of using a 5V battery. I have a few of the Normal black AW's, but ever since I got my IMR, I'll never turn back.

One should never vape a battery until it dies. Also I change out batts around 3.8 to 3.9 - vape quality has gone down by then. I can tell and put in a fresh batt. I am a chain vaper and only get 3-4 hrs from an AW IMR 18650 - around 12 hr w/the 2900 vaping mainly LR 306 1.5 and LR 510 1.5

AW IC 18650 2900 here, too. Nice kick and great battery life.

if i had an 18650 mod... pretty sure this would be the batt for me... plenty-o-amps for LR use and big capacity

Thanks for all the responses everyone. Ended up getting a P16 from the classifieds, so I'm going to hold off on the P18 for now and hope the Shockwave comes out soon. Or more likely I'll just end up ordering a P18 anyway to keep the P10 and P16 company lol.
