To best answer your question, I found these explanations on the Provape website on why they recommend using only AW brand IMR batteries for their Provari. The same rationale would seem pertinent for using them in a Silver Bullet with a Kick.
"We recommend only using AW IMR high drain batteries in your ProVari. http://www.provape.com/provari-variable-voltage-ecig-s/36.htm
"The AW IMR type cells that we carry use manganese chemistry and are the safest of the lithium chemistry types.
The higher capacity cells (ICR-my edit) use the cobalt chemistry with the electronic protection circuit.
The ultimate in safety is to have multiple redundant safety layers whereby if one layer of safety fails the other layer prevents an unsafe condition. This is what we strive for at ProVape, even if it means more internal components with its associated higher cost.
Asia produces many non-brand replacement batteries that are popular with users because of low price. Many of these batteries don't provide the same high safety standard as the main brand equivalent. A wise shopper spends a little more and buys a higher quality battery with its higher level of safety.
It is NOT recommended you use an unidentified lithium-ion battery from an Asian source.
As a consumer, you are in a position to select the highest quality and safest equipment. With each purchase, ask yourself,”Are a few pennies or dollars saved worth the safety risk?” Ultimately, your personal safety is in your hands with the equipment you buy. http://www.provape.com/v/faq.htm
And another quote from the Provape site:
"Batteries - We only recommend using approved 18490 and 18650 batteries in the ProVari. All of the batteries that we sell on our website have been tested to work with the ProVari and these are the only cells you should use. There is a big difference between all the different batteries on the market and a lot of testing has been done on these various batteries. The reason we recommend using high drain cells is because these cells can output more current providing the ProVari with the power it needs to operate properly. There are a number of batteries that will cause issues including the Trustfire, Ultrafire and other brands. These batteries cannot handle higher current output and the battery will turn off while in use or cause a low battery alert much sooner than it should because the batteries have a high internal resistance. Please make sure you get the proper batteries to use in the ProVari to avoid problems." http://www.provape.com/provari-variable-voltage-ecig-s/36.htm
I hope this helps answer your question.
