Best 14500 Batteries For A Mini Reo

I've used the AW IMR 14500s in all my Minis for the past 3-1/2 years. I don't know if they're better, but they're the ones that are recommended by Rob, so that's what I use. I've never used any others to compare. So.....I guess I'm no help. 
Normally I'd suggest AW and avoid Efest, but in this case it looks like the Efest is actually somewhat better. The AWs are 4A batteries. The Efest claims an 8C discharge rate, which translates to a 5.6A max. I wouldn't suggest running either at the max. I don't always trust Efest to list their specs correctly (conflating pulse discharge for continuous discharge, listing conflicting A and C values for the same battery, etc), but graphs don't lie.
I only use the AW IMR in all of mine. 600 mAh.
Just make sure any other battery you try is not too long.
A battery that compresses the spring too much will not allow it to collapse in case of a short.
We should always pay close attention to length when trying different batteries.

I would recommend the AW IMR from a reliable source like RTD Vapor, Super T mfgr.
You have an excellent mod in the Reos, so don't cheap out on the batts.

Yep I would stick with the AW IMR that is recommended ....... that said I still buy and use the previously recommended battery before the red IMR's were even born. The AW black 14500 ...... they have always performed better for me ...... But I can't really recommended them because they are not the current recommended battery 
The batteries you're using worked fine for me when I was using that mini. I had 2 AW's as well and found the Efest lasted longer than the AW's and the Efest was also the only thing you could buy locally here.
They never let me down in my Mini's and in fact, out performed my AW's.

Thank u I think I'll stick with the Efests then for now.
Thank you everyone for your comments and if anyone else has any opinions I'd love to hear them

I had the aw blacks before for my 18650 and they were way way too long for the woods and way to long for the metals. Careful with them TimYep I would stick with the AW IMR that is recommended ....... that said I still buy and use the previously recommended battery before the red IMR's were even born.

They are fine in 14500 .... plenty of room.
And the 2200 mah blacks are fine in 18650 (at least on woodvils)........ the 2600 and 2900 are a big no go though. I have one woodvil that has too much room for a red IMR and I have to use the black 2200 to keep it in there. Other wise I have to open the door and reset the red one before every vape. I measured it compared to my other woodvils and its got an extra 2mm
Thanks for the heads up. I'm pretty cautious when it comes to lots of spring room .... Its saved my bacon before ... actually that was with a black 14500 and she fell right out when I opened the door
