Only flat top I have is an 18500. Sounds like we need to belly up for some flat top IMRs. Thanx much for the answers.

FYI....AW does NOT make a flat-top IMR 18650!!

So if you buy one or acquire one and it has a flat-top, is an IMR high drain and has the AW label.....it's a FAKE.

There's also a blog on Volcano's website (which I have read myself, but I'm having difficulties finding right now) that talks about the fake batteries they purchased and are recalling them. But not because they're bad batteries, only because they're not authentic.

They're also not selling them any longer as AW confirmed that they were fakes.

I just got permission for Joker to post the following links.

I have a superior source for the perfect LT battery, but there aren't very many left. These normally sell for about $7-9 each retail:

FOUR TENERGY 2600mAh Li-ION 18650 BATTERIES FLAT TOP | eBay

12x TENERGY 2600mAh Li-ION 18650 3.7V BATTERY FLATTOP | eBay

I have (4) of Marrs Inc.'s Tenergy unprotected flat-top tabbed cells of the 18650 2600 maH batteries, sitting right next to me!

They've been rated as good or better than Sanyo & AW cells of the same chemistry and capacity.

That's more than the 2.50 price quoted earlier. I'm confused. Higher MAH on these?

At the moment, because I haven't finished negotiations, I don't know what the chemistry or maH capacity "actually' is for the 18650's that L-Rider sells for $2.50

The Tenergy's are ultimately superior quality cells than China. China wouldn't be able to hold a candle to Tenergy's power no matter WHAT they are!

You're not obligated to buy the batteries from L-Rider, it's just an option.

omaha, ne
hmmm, well, not that you're taking orders here... but might as well 'me too' on the wagon... i'll take 3 of the 18650 models, won't need batteries though, just grabbed the last one of the ebay 4 packs above.

originally i said 1 18650 and one shorty, but what the hey, one for home, one for work, and one backup.

appreciate your work on this.

Good size comparision here:

EDIT: Wait a minute, judging by the pic above, be very careful that they are including the electronics and not just the empty tube as shown above!

Yes, good picture!

Cuz it ALSO shows what Salemgold referred to as the "controversial" batteries.

That AW battery is a fake, notice the flat-top?

But didn't someone say with it being flat top you couldn't close the top down all the way on the big ones? If so does the mini have the tab. I would prefer to use the AW IMR batteries so this makes a difference to me.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand your questions.

They're also not selling them any longer as AW confirmed that they were fakes.

They are at the Honolulu Vapor Cafe. I had a huge go around with two young arrogant girls about this yesterday. I received an email from Volcano stating they would refund in full but the girls would only exchange for 2 of the same battery. I told her those are still the fakes, after about 5 minutes of heated discussion she opens a drawer and says "these are genuine but I'm not supposed to sell them yet."
