I currently am using EFEST batts and SANYO batts. EFEST batts are 18490 (1100mAh) and SANYO batts are 18500 (1700 mAh). I am somewhat of a heavy vapor (chain vape at night) and would definitely order another pair of the SANYO batts. The voltage drop is much less with the SANYO batts compared to the EFEST batts. I ordered the SANYO batts from fasttech for less than $11 and came with a battery case. The reason why I purchased the EFEST batts is because my SVD came a lot sooner than expected so I needed batts ASAP. I didn't want to run 18650 batts because of the size of the SVD and didn't want to use 18350s because of the lack of run time.

IF (and that's a big if) I actually take this thing out in public, it is always single 18350. Once I get home, I'll begin wielding the lightsaber in either dual 18350 or single 18650.

As far as noticing a difference between them all: other than battery life, not so much. your settings are going to change the Vo/Wt to whatever you set it to (for me, typically 4.3v/10w gives me a nice warm flavorful vape). I'm a chain vaper, and I can usually get 3-4 hours out of a single 18350. Once home, I can start on a single 18650 at dinner time and still be in the yellow for power remaining by the next morning (i'm an insomniac).

I've run an entire day and most of the night on stacked 18350's.

All my 18350's are Efest 800mAh, AW 700mAh, and my 18650's are AW 2000mAh.

I currently have two 18350's D.K.L and one 18650 Panasonic. I did order two AW 18350's I want to see how those perform.
I guess I will try the 18500, this is gonna be my daily driver for a while.
See there will be those days when I'm constantly on the move.
I started with the egos, then got a couple of twists 900 mah, but my gripe no batt level indicator what so ever.
Then the egov-v2 which is nice, so call it impulse and since i swear not to go back to stinkies I'm all in
I do like the freedom a mod gives for batt configs, also having the twists made me a fan of being able to
set the vape just the way you like it...
The 18650 can be a tad heavy.
By the way that's not my set up, that's just a pic I found on the net with the diff batt sizes

Yeah. My daily workhorse is about half the size of my SVD. I love my little legacy, but there is a lot to be said about the whole "set it and forget it" thing with the SVD. I change out batteries more often with my mech just to stay in that sweet spot that the SVD maintains start to finish.

Here is my workhorse

I've got 3 Legacy's. Never ever fail to work. and I also went with the flat cap for my RBA's (Just wish it would have been offered when I bought mine). But I got extra heads.

Yeah. I have the flat cap as well, but the tiny cyclone looks better on the beveled cap. I love my SVD, but it is just too bulky for me to bring to work even in 18350 mode.

I brought mine to work today, I started with the 18650. Then about 11 I switched to the 350's single config.
So lets say I averaged 5 hrs vape before it got to red.

TNT56 I'm assuming that metal glass tank is a rebuildable?
Looks like once you start getting mods you're done lol no stoppin

AGA T2 also got 3 more. And no way in heck is this old man through shopping. I love my mods.
And that's not counting the ones still on order. LOL

A panasonic 18650 was put in my SVD at 7 AM and I am still vaping on it (8:37 PM)

Those Panasonics have a pretty high mAh rating if I recall correctly. My AW 18650's are 2000 mAh, the Panasonic are around 25-2600? that's almost an extra 18350 worth of run time

U have to really know what you're doing with those though right

They can definitely be tricky. I jumped in head-first and knew nothing. Now I know slightly more than nothing compared to the vets around here, but I love to tinker. If it works, great! If it doesn't, I start over again. I use a rebuildable dripper 99% of the time. Only time I use a genesis is when i'm at home and there is no risk of my mod tipping over and losing a tank worth of juice.

I haven't pushed it to the limit. But I know it has heart, that thing rocks man thanks for sharing...
