Hard to believe but I only have four 14500 batts the ones with flames for a batt/pt mod I never use and two 18600 batteries that came with my regular lavatube. I probably vape on batteries a couple of hours a month the rest is PT. I do have about 20 large lipo packs for my RC hobby and all my experience is with those and have seen them explode. I know you have tested many batts, as a while back read some of your threads on them. So my vaping batts are getting old and are probably junk anyway. Give me a link to what and where I should buy for those two sizes. Not looking for cheap. Thanks
PS: Preferably that they can handle at least 5 amps.
Sorry just saw this BJ,,, most vendors now carry the AW & Panasonic,,, Super-T I believe has both,,, as for the MNKE I always got mine from Digitalciggz, We really cant compare e-cigs to RC,,, RC you are running those Batts at full bore from full charge to depletion, where we are pulsing a 3-6 second charge, so its a bit different, but really all the same factors come into play, you know they game and have enough experience and already know all of this.... As for Batts, the newer Panasonic CGR18650CH is the very best of the best in my opinion, BUT only comes in a 18650 from what I know of,,,with the AW right behind it,,, the MNKE states it has a higher C rating but I have also spoken to Andrew himself (AW) and he told me he could also state his IMR has the same "C" rating as the MNKE but he doesnt want to over state his Batts and feels safer at the "C" rating he puts on his IMR which is dead on true

I stick with the Panasonic myself with AW as well but these newer Panasonic's are one helluva a Batt.
Edit,, RTDvapor also is a decent Batt supplier,,,, so is Lighthound,,, Super-T
The Flames are the only Batt Trustfire makes I would even consider,, I stick with AW for 14500 as well
I also respect your post, and enjoy your findings
