Perhaps something from here: Button Top Batteries | IMRBatteries.com
Some of the batteries have just a nipple top added, others, like this one, claim to have a protection pcb: Sanyo NCR18650GA 3450mAh 10A Battery - Protected Button Top

Has anyone here used them before? I get nervous on batteries
I will go and look at their website and thank you for the link!
They're a good seller, I've used them regularly.Has anyone here used them before? I get nervous on batteries
Everything I’m finding is flat top, I’ll keep looking..... side note I did order some new batteries for my other mods add another $35 to my total! I knew this thread was going to cost me $$

I got a notice that they were discontinued as well... I had ordered 3 of the black, but I replied back to them to substitute them with any black/<other color> combo they had in stock.
Did they tell you all colors were out of stock?
I was reading up yesterday on button-top batteries for Provari, and it's my understanding that Provari requires an unprotected battery. Do I have that right? I am really hesitant to use these batteries with the button-top added on, but really, what other choice is there if I ever want to be able to use these mods. I have 3 that have been in my stash, unused so far.
I did a quick scan, none showed in stock, several (including the black that they told us is discontinued) listed 4 days to availability.
They're also available on aliexpress, $6.50 (cheaper than Amazon). I'll keep the one from Amazon, ordered a second from Ali.
One of the provari people will have to respond. They definitely have both protected and unprotected nipple top at IMR. Open the individual battery links and they tell you which are protected.
For example, here's a 30Q unprotected: Samsung 30Q 18650 3000mAh 15A Battery - Button Top
Me too. My old batteries aren’t holding long charges and so my favorite mods are being packed up
Efest IMR 18490/18500 1000mah 15A Li-Mn Button Top Battery - CLEARANCEI didn’t see any 18500’s
Or battery junction has some 18500 ultrafire button top.
The efest say they are not protected.
(Sparse pickings in that format.)
Back during the Xmas sale, I ordered a bunch of sleeves from FT (for other mods) and was told that many of them were out of stock.
For those that had other colors available to ship, they did tell me which colors were available. When I inquired about other colors for the ones they didn't list substitutes for, they said that they weren't available.
So it's possible all colors are discontinued if they didn't give substitute options.
It took 2 days for them to change the listings to "discontinued", BTW.
These ones FT sells (used to sell) are nice and good quality. And they have a satiny feel to them and don't have a lot of grab. So easier to slip in/out of your pocket than is usual for silicone sleeves. Should last a good many years.
If the ones Amazon are the same as FT's, they are worth the extra $, IMHO. But I see the black shows only 1 left. But the B&W doesn't show a low stock and is half the price.

What I like most about the sleeve is that it covers the flip-open battery door around the edges sufficiently enough to help keep it from popping open. But that could be a con to some.

The one I bought on Amazon looks the same as the other one I ordered, from Ali.
I'll gladly pay the premium to stay with an all black sleeve, though that's just personal preference.

I noticed that last night and cancelled my Armour Pro/Katana mods order with 3A vape. They responded this morning & cancelled the order (but paypal refund yet to come through). CV has something I want more at 30% off.
After this, and after I spend my $16 rebate points at FT, I'm done with China. I swear.
I also ordered some more exo-s RBAs at Amazon (which I blame you for just for mentioning Amazon
).Honestly, I really have to stop this stocking-up stuff. There's no way I could possibly run out of anything at this point unless I were to increase my nic strength that I vape and that isn't going to happen. It's become a sickness.
EDITED TO SAY: Of course, I was joking about the blaming you thing.

China seems to be catching up. 3 of my 5 China orders have shipped - FastTech, Everzon, and 2FDeal. I have 2 remaining FT orders with items due in on 3/7. I doubt if I'll order anything else from them, but I no longer worry that I won't get what I ordered.
I'm waiting to see if the items I want from FT start showing shorter "ship in X days" ETAs before I spend my rebate points there. As of right now, everything I want to has an ETA of 5 or more days.
Okay - Done with 1) Heaven Gifts - 2) lightfire - 3) ejuicesteals,- and 'now 4) 3avape . . Items list for sale at reasonable/cheap prices and can be put in cart - then all of a sudden, after Ya' pay, items that Ya' purchased to go with other Items, are not available (even though they are still listed on their website as available) . . . Then they want to cancel half the order and still send Ya' the rest and then will credit your account for a future order . . . 3 or more weeks later and numerous emails back & forth - Finally get them to just cancel the total order . . . IMHO - This is getting to be the new norm for these companies/vendors . . . Just an FYI . . .
