I just got a Reo Mini this week.. now I need to get 14500 battaries and charger for it and loking for recomendation. Did some research on previous posts.. Everyone (including Reo owner) is suggesting AW 14500 IMR. Since this is my first post, I couldn't ask at the correct forum/thread.
My questions are:
1. Can I getAW 14500 IMR at more than 600 mAh? I am looking for longer charge duration.
2. Who is a good vendor with best price?

Appreciate your help!

mmmh well i'm intersted in this too. I already have a hefty investment in ego batteries but i'm thinking perhaps the bottom feeding mod is the best near drip experience i am going to find. Now i have to go learn all about batteries...arch can i assume that the 650, 750 and 1000 maH ratings are the "amount of charge" (sorry for the lack of correct terminology here) and hence since i know a 650 EGO lasts me almost through the work day and a 750 definitely does and a 1000 leaves me "amps" to spare. the mini reo at 600 might be just short of what i need?

I bought my AW IMR batteries (18650) and a Pila charger from oveready.com and was very pleased with the price, fast shipping, and careful packaging.

If you use LR attys, AW IMR's work great. In a Mini, you'll be changing batteries more often due to the smaller size of the battery, but that's the nature of the beast due to the smaller size.

Protected lithium ions are a fine choice for SR attys.

The advantage of the AW IMR 14500 is that they deliver a consistant vape until they suddenly drop off, where the protected batts keep giving reduced performance, even though they may theoretically "last" longer. The Mini makes it so easy to change batts that carrying a spare or two just isn't an issue. I vape 3ml per day, and use 2-3 AW IMR 14500 batts. DO NOT order the BDL IMR 14500's. They are demonstrably inferior.
