I've been using these in my Provari for years, went googling to find a couple of new ones and they're a bit hard to find and a bit pricey when I do find them. Is there something comparable, cheaper that I can use?
Thankye!
Thankye!
1 mm diff between 18490 and 18500.18500 Is 10mm longer,might be the ticket.
I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along.
The least safe battery in the most safe mod. I guess that works. Lots of vent holes on that device?At the risk of being shot down in a blaze of righteous indignation.....
I've been using TrustFire IMR 18500 1300mAh (realistically around 1000mAh) nipple top batteries for the last 4 years in my Provaris. They have been performing as well as AW batteries.
They are freely available at Fast Tech
Cue the 'fire' comments....

One large one in the battery cap.The least safe battery in the most safe mod. I guess that works. Lots of vent holes on that device?
Most likely from one of the many Chinese battery manufacturers. According to Battery Mooch, there are some that actually make a decent battery. Most of them do not.I wonder where Efest get their 18500 nipple top batteries from. TrustFire ?

You are correct, the silver 18500 battery is a protected ICR battery.No, the Trustfre cell is "Lithium Cobalt", and the Efest is "Lithium Manganese"
They also make a red 18500 IMR battery, too.
