LavaTube battery question

[ClutchMan]

Hey folks. I was wondering if the AW IMR 18650 flat top batteries are the only ones that will fit in the LavaTube or if the ones with the nipple will fit as well. Any help is appreciated. I just ordered a LavaTube, but am holding out on the batts until I get a definitive answer. Thanks guys!

The nipple ones work.

I got mine from supertmanufacturing and they work fine.

I got mine from rtpvapor and the red aw imr with a flat nipple work fine.

I was just going to add that. Does anyone know if the ones coming in to volcano are going to be flat or not?

I was wondering about that because I kept looking for AW high drain flat tops and couldn't find them anywhere. Cool deal, gonna order my batts now. Thanks for the SuperT link donnah!

From what I have read on volcano's forums (LINK) they will be the AW nipple top but that was about a week ago so don't hold me to it. Check out the link, there may be a accurate answer there.

The ones volcano got from their supplier were fakes. There are a few vendors on the net selling the same batteries as AW imr batteries, but they are fakes too. They are taking batteries back and offering replacement with the AW nipple top batteries when they get them, which shouldn't be too long from now.
