thanks for the posts vapormadness!

Great info, I just purchased 4 IMR AW 16340's in preparations for my p16

Cool! Wise decision. What would really be cool and a service to the community is to test hem against each other. I have a pretty good idea what kind of numbers you are going to come up with, but will keep 'em at bay as not to influence your results.

I am a n00b when it comes to this. I wouldn't know how to test them really

 

[Switched]

Duh!

You vape right? That's all the test equipment you need.

• ultra fire = X hrs with Y resistance atty
• IMRs = X hrs with Y resistance atty

Your question, you will own both kind, your test

Sharing is nice...

I get the 16340's from lighthound but I've never seen an AW IMR 14500.

I'm not a battery expert (I go to drozd for that). But I have a few IMR 14500 batteries I picked up from Cloud of Vapor that I really like in my Protege. (Love the batteries, the mod drives me crazy!) They last longer and stay stronger for me. They take a long time to charge, so I have three I rotate. I've been using them daily for a couple months with LR attys.

AW just announced last night that their IMR14500s are ready for shipment: IMR16340 / IMR18500 / IMR18650 / IMR26500 *Part 2* - Page 16 - CPFMarketPlace

Both Clouds and Hounds should have them shortly.

If you absolutely need them now, you can order directly from AW in Hong Kong. Since I'm closer to HK than I am to NJ I did order a few.

If they work with my 2 ohm atomizers as well as the AW IRM16340s do, my search for the Holy Grail on both the T6 and P16 is over.

I've served perfectionist goals all of my professional life, striving for higher performance. Further, those here who know me, know that I'm not a religious person. However, I feel that there's a point beyond which, if one still says; 'I'm not satisfied', God feels obliged to strike them down;-)

you beat me to it KonaNeil.... that the AW IMR 14500 was released last night...

here's the specs if you don't wanna follow the link:

IMR14500 Specifications :

Nominal Voltage : 3.7V
Capacity : 600mAH
Lowest Discharge Voltage : 2.50V
Standard Charge : CC/CV ( max. charging rate 1.5A )
Cycle Life : > 500 cycles
Max. continuous discharge rate : 4A
Operating Discharge Temperature : -10 - 60 Degree Celsius
Size : 14.07mm ( diameter ) x 48.80mm ( height ) +/- .1mm

which as expected is slightly better than the BDL ones that some other vendors are carrying...

the BDL ones have a max discharge rate of 5C... so 3A...

Just ordered 6.. Thanks for the link and info..

Dallas is a little further from Hong Kong than Hawaii but I figure by the time LH and Clouds get theirs, I'll have mine

My 18650's and 16340's are the best I've used..

err.... ugh.... That's what Kona posted about ^^

If you order directly from AW they come from HK. I didn't realize that when I ordered (not that it matters)...
Been watching LightHound and BatteryJunction for them also..

They should be getting shipments soon.
