18650 Battery Wars

[six]

Where do u guys buy the AW IMR from?

Lighthound has them in stock.

EDIT: Sorry. Lighthound is showing out of stock now. Lots of vendors carry them, but a cursory inspection of the popular vendors websites is indicating most everyone is out of stock. Maybe someone will come along who has seen some in stock somewhere.

Altsmoke posted Wednsday on Facebook that they had them. Haven't looked today tho'.

This is a very good link to some statistics for the charge curves of various 18650 bats at different current drains

Man i already knew the aw imrs were goning to win obviously but i was hoping to see it vs the Aw protected and panasonic/CalliesKustoms cells . Callies is supposed to be the best of the best .

I'm just glad that there are alternatives.
While you guys fight over the last AW IMR on the planet, I'll go pick up a couple of flames.

Don't forget to check our forum supplier 'wonderlite's thread. Also Super T, Clouds of Vapor, etc. carry them. There's more but I'm not by my links.

Everyone is finally getting their Lavatubes, and is rushing out to buy AW IMR bats for them.

I think it's kinda funny because the LT has built in protection, and regulated voltage can really care less about bat fall off.

Not sure on his stock of batteries at the moment but Randy at RTDVAPOR.com is an great guy.

Looks like he's out of AW IMR 18650's as well. Though he has a spot for a 2000mah aw imr 18650, that sounds exciting!

I've been using the 3100 mah AW 18650's and loving them. Not in a lavatube btw. But they actually tell the correct mah and hold there voltage vs the Ultrafire 3000 mah batteries.

Question for OP:

Did you fully charge each cell before testing?

Thanks
