Not recommended. They are NOT chemically safe. Although they have a built-in protective circuit, should that IC circuit fail (and they can) they can vent hot gas and flames causing danger to your home and loved ones (not to mention yourself). These are ICR (Li-ion) chemistry which is a flamable chemistry should they go into thermal runaway. Don't be tempted by the high mAh rating of these batteries. These should only be used in low drain applications such as flashlights.



Protected ICR (Li-ion) batteries after going into thermal runaway.

The safest batteries available to us are IMR (Li-Mn) or the newer hybrid batteries, also known as unprotected, safe chemistry, and high drain batteries. Below are a list of these batteries:

Battery Basics for Mods: IMR or Protected ICR?

I recommend the red AW IMR (Li-mn) batteries.

The highest MAH rating you'll find that is good for vaping is the panasonic 18650 2900mah. 10A and is unprotected as well as hybrid/high drain. I see baditude already gave you the low down on the efest ones before I could

The CGR18650 CH battery does not need to be protected (it is a safe chemistry battery).

Button top vs flat top: exactly the same performance-wise. Some mods require one or the other. Check the manufacturers owner's manual or product listing to see if there is a preference.

All the 30 amp batteries on the market currently are "hybrid" batteries. So they are safe-chemistry and high-drain.

They can be used in either regulated or mechanical mods. A regulated mod only needs 10 amps, so 30 amps would be over-kill. Ultra-high amp batteries are best suited for sub-ohm in mechanicals.
