I can't speak intelligently about weather AWs Li-MN (IMR) 2000mAh
batteries are any better than EHs LI-MN (IMR) 2000mAh
batteries.
The EH IMR 18650's are a hair taller then AW batteries.
Spec sheet:
Manufacturers, Suppliers, Exporters & Importers from the world's largest online B2B marketplace-Alibaba.com
Both EH and AW are known to relabel high end Panasonic batteries...
Shenzhen Toby Technologies Makes the EH
Shenzhen Fest( EYoung) Technology Co. makes the AW
You tell me...
"The problem is, again, the Provari was built and designed around the AW IMR's". No it was built around the ability (charge/drain, C rating characteristics) of the battery, not the manufacturer. EH's specs are the same as AW except the AW has a C rating of 10, the EH is 8.
What does that mean?
You can discharge the AW at 20 amps in 3 minutes.
You can discharge the EH at 16 amps in 3.75 minutes.
Who's vaping at 75 watts anyway?
They are both high end quality batteries with the nod going to AW, But you are talking the difference between Ferrari's and Lamborghini's, not Honda's and Hugo's.
