What would be a great is if a LP 26650 is release tomorrow with the sub ohm kit. 
The solution is under your eyes... SL Maxi Reo! 26650 batt with new light chassis!
I'm all about bigger batteries, and more mah. But my 18650's are lasting a solid 10hrs. I have a habbit of changing the batt in the morning before i go to work, then in the evening before dinner, I suppose with the 26mm I might not have to do the second change but its not like the 26mm will last that much longer above 3.8v. i'd be sacrificing portability (pocketability), and in my mind if I know im going to be out and about for more than 12hrs it's no big deal to just stash a spare batt in the car.
A true game changer would be a usb passthrough/charger built in... but that would change the whole dynamic of having a ruggedly simple mech mod. (I'm pretty sure turbocad's DNA REO can do this)
Check out this comparason between our aw imr 1600 and the sony 26650. Vaping at 10A there is no benifit to going to 26650, and at 7A the 26650 lasts about twice as long. I vape a .5ohm coil which would fall somewhere between those two and I'm not sure that the added longevity would make up for the larger size.

That charts shows the 26650 would hold a higher voltage longer in the 4.2 to 3.7 range. But I'm with you, newer 18650 last long enough that I'm not willing to do the trade off on size for better battery life.
There is definitely an advantage if you are vaping higher than a .7ohm coil. Vaping a 1ohm coil there would be a 3x increase in battery life (4.2 - 3.8V). Also keep in mind that the only 26650 on that batt comparator site was the sony, so other brands will have other curves.
My previous post was just about my personal vaping style (0.45 - 0.55 ohm), which wouldn't offer me much gain to switch to the sony 26mm.

Maybe a nice 26650 REO in carbon fiber or titanium to offset the battery weight ;-)
I think my idea of having the 26650 with a 30 or even 50 ml juice bottle would make a great table mod. It would have to be just for some people. People who use one juice or have a ADV or favorite juice for sitting back and chillin'. As far as being a mod for the masses I don't think it would make it because of the low number of them being made. Too much of a niche thing. But it is always good to dream.
i understand where you guys are coming from... but there are some advantages, i dunno, i see your argument and i would like to see it happen still though
I built a 26650 bf and I really like it, it def lasts longer than a 18650, 18650 needs a battery change for me for a full day if it's my only mod where the 26650 lats till bedtime no problem. the difference in size is not as big as you may think. the reo woodville fits in a footprint of 1" x 2" where my 26650 wood mod has a footprint just under 1.5" x 2.5", so it's 1/2" thicker and 1/2" wider, still fits in hand well and still pocketable although yeah it is a little bit fat
Is exactly my personal vaping style.. 0,7/0,9 ohms, with SO new contacts and SL LP Maxi Reo 26650 will last for a week !!
I haven't seen rob say anything at all about this so currently its a dream... It might happen but I would not count on anything till rob chimes in...

It could be called the REO TK, for "Timekeeper," or the REO BLT, for "Boasts Lots of Time."
I'd also like to see a 100% brass Reo.

I like vaping on a battery that is over 4v so 18650 last me for around a hour.
