So, I was wondering if any other battery would fit in the yet to be made metal 18490. I got a pair of aw imr 18490's but I'm not a fan of these type. I've been using Trustfire ( the flame ones) in my mini and am quite satisfied. I tried the aw imr 14500 but didn't like them. So, are there any batteries other than the recommended aw imr's that would fit? Thanks again.:)

The AW 18490 & 18500 are an exceptional Batt, could you please say why you dont like them ?
Makes me wonder if you happen to get a pair of the bootleg copies that have been floating around ? Also what charger are you using please ? And just say what issue your having with the AW Please ? There just isnt a higher quality and better IMR and Lithium IC Batt on the market today.

I got the aw imr 14500 from super t and I have a pila charger. To me, they don't seem to last very long and the vapor is the same. I work 12 hour shifts and battery life is important to me. The grand is too big for my hands but I'm thinking I could handle a metal 18490. Thanks!

IMR batteries need to be discharged/recharged 4 or 5 times before they achieve their optimum capacity. Just don't discharge below 3.5 volts is the conventional wisdom.
