I think some RatShacks do, but I don't know if they are protected and they're probably pretty expensive.

There are some battery specialty stores but I can't remember their names. Maybe look in the yellow pages?

Hi, I just tried one 14500 in my box mod last night...first impression is WOW very nice! I haven't tried looking at them with a MM yet, but plan to. I will update the box mod post with my impressions, right now they are very good!

Box mods are awesome. I love my Puck. It uses 4 NiMH batteries for 5.2v off the charger and stays over 4 volts for a reaaallly long time. It's the only way I want to vape anymore, lol.
Many consider the AW the best. The AW mAh ratings are realistic, most of the other brands are overstated.
Next time you want 14500's (or 18650's or 16340's for that matter) try these guys: Lithium-ion Batteries
It's where I get mine. They're fast and cheap. ($5.64 a 2-pack)

Good to know Banjo! I have heard others speak well of that place.
I just have a DES 905 3.7 V but I like it and the TrustFire protecteds work just as well as the unprotected ones that came w/ it. The work just as good as when I got them 3 mos. or so ago.
Someday I might have to join you HV Club guys.

Not to sound dense... I'm looking for my own 14500's and have seen three brands pop up a lot.
How does a battery "perform well" other than life? I would consider a battery that didn't deliver voltage to be "defective" so the only other real criteria is battery life.
Lower mAh seems contrary to "performing well" in my eyes. What am I missing?
All I can say...which is very limited on a Friday night for a multiple of reasons...is mine are doing just fine! They are not the AWs and such...but ultrafire LC 14500 3.6v 900mAh, those grey and black ones...work great so far...but I am using them in a MadVapes box mod, one at a time and alternating them. In the big meantime, the roughstack is keeping me a slave.

Good question. Maybe how long they last before the will no longer hold a charge for as long as they once did? I have 2 that I switch out each day and recharge one while the other is in use. How long should 14500s usually last w/ consistent use like this?

From my experience with AW and Ultrafire batteries, the AW batteries last as long on a charge as th
From my experiences with AW, Ultrafire, and Battery Junction batteries, the AW batteries last as long or longer on a charge as much higher mAh rated batteries of the other brands. The mAh ratings of the AW batteries realistic, the others way overstated. I have no experience with Trustfire batteries.
Besides the mAh rating, AW batteries have a better discharge rating than Ultrafire, which is much better suited to vaping, especially with LR attys. If you push a battery beyond it's discharge capability, it will shorten the life of the battery.
