You're not going to find it since for li-ion cell bats the diameter plays a part in the sustainable discharge rate. Your only option at this point would be to use li-poly but they are significantly more dangerous to mod with. Unless you have past experience with them I wouldn't go that route.
It uses 2 bats in series (not boosted) so the current demand isn't nearly as high.
For the most part it's always about how much current cells can provide. At CPF the AW guy said their Li-Ion 10440's have a max discharge rate of 600mA. That's really quite pathetic.
Making small, means making compromises.
You may want to look into these cells.
Li-lon Cylindrical Battery(130450 650mAh 3.7V) products, buy Li-lon Cylindrical Battery(130450 650mAh 3.7V) products from alibaba.com
I don't know if these are the cells used in eGo's, but they are right size and a different chemistry than our typical Li-Ions.
This response by Scottbee (who never guesses/assumes) was from a comment that the eGo batts can't keep up with LR atties.
Those are nice little batts right there in that link, too bad it's on Alibaba lol but those might be worth a shot.
Oh come on the min order is only 1000 pieces @ $1.95 a piece. $1950.00 bucks shouldn't be too hard on the wallet. Although knowing most of those sellers on ali, you will have to pay 4 grand for shipping
Yeah I've seen some deals on Ali but passed them up, and glad I did. That place is horrible.
There's a shorter batt, something like half the height of a 14500, but I don't remember what the name of it was. I don't think it was Li-Ion CR2, and I think it's a little taller than a CR2, and it's 3.6 or 3.7v, does this ring a bell?

I wouldnt expect them to. Li-ion 14250's usually sit around ~300mah, and I doubt they have the correct overcharge rating, but its still possible.
Quite late in the discussion with this, but the ptn04050c won't work with a single NiZn, it needs at least 2.95v. A pair will drive it well though and the current output on these is pretty nice.
wasn't trying with the single. Tried it with a pair. Fully charged, the pair(unloaded) put out about 3.6 volts. Straight to an atty, it dropped to 3.1ish volts. That stayed pretty consistent whatever atty or carto I tried. I found that to be (barely) vapeable. When I hooked the booster up... well, lets just say the performance was not what I expected. It didn't blow up or anything. Unloaded I got a consistent 4.95v out, that was after leaving it on for about 15 minutes, nary a hiccup. As soon as I popped an atty on there, 3.1, 3.09, 3.08, 3.07. Fast dropout of voltage... Needless to say, it seemed almost worthless. Maybe 3 in a series? Wonder if the chip will be able to handle that with a load on it. Been sick and busy with work, but I will give it a try when I can.
Sci has a pair running with a booster, I'm not sure what resistance though. Possibly 2.5Ω.
