I have two Efest 18650s and a pair of Efest 18350s and I'd like to step up my game if possible. I'm looking for something that holds a charge longer, charges more quickly if such an option exists. Thanks for your help, pros.
18650 battery recommendation? Better than Efest

I have the same question. I just don't know what battery to get. I have a KTS and i'm about to start dripping. I got a couple chimbus' coming in the mail. I have everything to make the coil and measure resistance/ohms/etc. I just wanna make sure that I have a good battery to save me if all else fails
AW IMR batteries have held charges well and lasted a long time for me. They are somewhat better than Efest batteries in my experience.
I use them in my KTS with great life.

+1000 on these, man i love these batts have 4 now 2 more on the way several days off one battery is sweet. i use them in the vamo and provari no problem.
waiting on some flattops for my semovar now. i know orbtronics cant keep them in stock. the gch 2250mah second best.
other then panny the only other battery worth getting is AW. for a regulated mod
the sony 30a is more for a mech mod. you are trading the amperage for less Mah, at very minimum get the aw 2000mah
i havent tried them in a mech yet but i bet its quit a while before the drop off.I use them in a mech
It is. And they stay good and cool in sub-ohm land.
I was a bit scared at first, reading all the fear mongering given to sub-ohm and less-safe chemistry, so I got a short stop.
Well, even at 1.0 the SS gets so hot it arrests the circuit. Man, was I nervous to first fire it without it. Then, I realized by buying such a good mech (Legacy by Puresmoker...I see you Cash
) and good batteries, that a hard short isn't in my future.Many lols though.

these are non-protected, go to amazon and you will find the better orbitron protected 3400 mah bats, 4 days on my silver bullet and 2 1/2 on my provari

I hope your mech has a protection circuit built in. Even if it does I would use a protected battery or an IMR battery.
You are literally putting a small bomb up to your face not to mention the risk of burning your house down while charging. Over the three years I have been vaping I had at two chargers go bad and overcharge my batteries.
i and many others recommend Panasonic gray jacket CGR18650CH. They take only 3 1/2 to 4 hrs to charge fully and are rated to 10 amps. They have a very good track record thats my 
And get a xtar or pila charger. With the vamo you do not need protected batteries, and they work with both button top and flat top.
Good Luck!

Still learning - very slowly - about batteries.
That one's "protected" - thought we should be getting unprotected for a VAMO?
