I'll tell you in a couple of days when they've arrived and I've had a chance to use them. I expect them to very similar to the AW batteries.

batteries are a lot like the cassette tapes and floppy disks of yesteryear - there's dozens of brands, but really only 2 or 3 manufacturers. The different degrees of quality from the manufacturer feed different brands.
For those in need of, or will be needing PG and/or VG Essential Depot is having a 20% off sale until Friday, Feb. 22nd. Use coupon code OFF20 when you check out.
Their PG and VG come in gallon jugs and their prices are very good even before the discount. I've been using them for a little under a year and have noticed no difference in taste or quality from other vendors. As a matter of fact except for the cost of having all my shirts altered to accommodate the third arm I unexpectedly grew I haven't noticed any adverse side effects what-so-ever.

I recall Brandon with Evolv (I think) telling me the same thing; the AW guy is basically the first guy at the factory who chooses the picks of the litter. And I remember Dave with Super T-a real battery nerd-compairing the two with charts and graphs: his recommendation was that AW's were slightly better for unregulated 3.7v vaping, while the panasonic had the edge for regulated VV/VW mods:

Efest IMR 18350 800mah 3.7V Limn batteries with Nipple (2pcs) Two efest IMR 18350's, v2 (nipple top) for $8.40 including free shipping (yea) from China (not yea).
Had a local vape shop owner carry on about these batteries, and online reviews compare them favorably to AW's. And for roughly half the price of the AW's, I figured why not? Our modmaster has tentatively given me permission to try them in my VVG. (Or at least didn't forbid or discourage me from doing so.)
Their website shows their 18650's, and they look to be the same as the panasonics.
ONLY bad thing is shipping from China.

Clyde, Randy is carrying them at RTD Vapors so no need to order from China. Please let us know how they are.

Yeah, and that's almost the price of AW's, but I hear what you're saying. If I'm going to pay retail, I may as well go to my local retail neighborhood vape store, OKC Vapes. But will do.
Looks like the A7/A7 Mini/A8 co-op is still open. I've asked a question on thread to make sure. No answer yet but it does state, post #1 "limited to 3 of each" but further on down "unlimited till 2/21/13" so it may still be open to be added to list.

It just went live Alice. So people can still order. Most you can order is 3 of each.
Thanks. I just got answer from co-op person. List is still open and s/he will be updating final numbers late Wednesday. There is still a 3 per style limit, though. I imagine this is to discourage people buying up a bunch and reselling.
So REOnauts, get the most excellent prices on A7 and A7 Mini you will find.
Hugs, Feisty Alice

Seems that the coupon doesn't apply to the 2-pk gallon size Jack. I believe its because of the free ship special they have right now. You can get the same deal from the same company on fleabay Glycerin Vegetable Kosher Food Grade USP 2 Gallons Free Shipping | eBay This might be an option for those who have ebay bucks, ebates acct or similar services. Swinging good deal for a LOT of product, no tax (outside of Fla) and free ship.
Thanks for the heads up Jack

Amazon is where I get mine. They have lots of sizes. Here is there gallon with $39.95 free shipping too: Amazon.com: Vegetable Glycerine Kosher USP - 1 Gallon (128 oz.): Health & Personal Care
Karen, I think you misunderstood the posting. Ebay and Essential Depot both offer 2 gallons for $45.95 (free ship). But Holy Moly, 2 gals may last fer generations.
They don't last as long as you think, especially when you're sendin' Pietro and Ratman 55 gallon drums of juice every month.

Well, thanks for pointing out my mistake! I don't buy that much at one time. Just thought I would post an alternative.
You posted the better price or deal for that quantity.
So, if you don't mind me asking, and it's not against some forum policy, what is the likely (at this time) price for the A7? I tried to look at the thread and found out I had to wait to become verified (news to me...).
The A7 retail is around $20; same for Mini A7. I think some people have found them for less.

I have had one that I've been vaping in my VV Grand and they are better than any other atomizer that I have used.
I bought the Panasonic 3100 MAH (single protected) NCR18650A batteries (Grand) and each charge will give me more than four times the life compared to the AW IMR 18350 batteries (VV Grand).......................Apples and seedless red grapes.
I have used the AW IMR 18650 batteries and the NCR Panasonics and I haven't noticed a difference in power.
The NCR Panasonics are cheaper and last twice as long as the IMR AWs.
I did notice that the Panasonics did out power the AW IC 3100 MAH 18650 batteries.
I'm impressed with the Lithium Cobalt technology that the NCR Panasonics are using.
The Panasonic NCR platform was tested as one of the best performing cells by CandlePower forum.
Most of the highest performing 18650 batteries that they tested were the NCR Panasonics that were re-branded and PCB'd by other manufacturers.
The Panasonic IMR and hybrid batteries are closely matched to the AW IMR cells.
Unfortunately,Panasonic doesn't offer 18350 batteries.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy the Panasonics especially at that great price.
