I understand the whole battery thing (dont use anything with "fire" in the name) My question is, can i use flat top batteries in a Magneto and in my atomo? I want to get some vtc5's but cant find button top.
button top vs flat top

yes you most likely can.
i do not believe sony has any button tops. in fact, the only high amp 18650 button tops that i am aware of are the AW 1600mahs.
if your batt is too short to make a connection, you can use magnets. i have tiny super strong magnets that i use when the need arises. they turn any flat top into a button top essentially. i do use rubber washers to guard against the magnet slipping and going down the side of the battery, but as i mentioned earlier, the magnets are super strong and do not slip (no voltage drop either). the mod would have to take a HUGE tumble for it to jar the magnet. if it were to, i might be looking at a colossal failure without the rubber washer. so be aware of that.
another route some folks have reported is to solder a blob of solder on top of the flat top, creating a button. this is an experienced move and the poster did not recommend doing this if you are not well versed in soldering and batteries in general. so i just figured i'd include that caveat.

I use flat tops with atomo and magneto. They'll work with either one.
The only mod I have, that I prefer button tops with, is the turtleship..because that stupid battery rattle adjustment being the switch insulator.

You can order magnets from many sources like madvapes I think. work fine for me. Never had a problem in the years I have used them.
