My favorite batteries are panasonic CGR18650CH
They blow imr aws
MNKE blow them all away. However, here are some specs for the AW IMR 1600

Test/Review of AW IMR 18650 1600mAh (Red)
AW IMR 18650 1600mAh (Red)
Official specifications:
Nominal Voltage : 3.7V
Capacity : 1600mAH
Lowest Discharge Voltage : 2.50V
Standard Charge : CC/CV ( max. charging rate 4.5A )
Cycle Life : > 500 cycles
Max. continuous discharge rate : 15C or 10 amp
Operating Discharge Temperature : -10 - 60 Degree Celsius
This cell is designed for high current and can handle up to 24A according to the specifications.
have been tested with discharge currents up to 20A and the battery handles it without problems.
The battery might be useable up to 24A, but do not expect a long runtime, it is less than 5 minutes at 20A.
Conclusion
The battery is a good battery, but with the low capacity it is mostly for special HIGH CURRENT APPLICATIONS.

While Im at it - here is test done by SuperT - Full well showing that Panasonic cannot blow AW IMR 1600 away. Since its well known I like a hard hitting all mechanical device and lots of vapor - AW IMR 1600 - out performs your panasonic.
Heres the long awaited Test at 5amps between the AW IMR 18650 1600mAh and Panasonic IMR 18650 2250mah.
Again, there is no clear winner, it depends on your application. It's easy to look at total mAh and mistakenly think the Panasonic is the better choice, but most of that mAh comes at under 3.2V and is unuesable in ecig apps.
- The AW consistently holds higher voltage under load (about 1 tenth of a volt) throughout its useable lifespan.
- At 3.3 V as tested mAh:
AW 1600mah: 1457mAh
Panasonic 2250mah: 1278mah
- At 3.2 V as tested mAh:
AW 1600mAh: 1540mAh
Panaosonic 2250mah: 1651mAh
Recommendations:
Mechanical or semi mechanical mod (Precise, GG, Silver Bullet, Zenesis etc): AW IMR 18650 1600mAh. Holds high voltage and will hit harder and more vapor. If you don't mind a bit less hit and vapor, the Panasonic will run longer though.
Kicked Mod or VV/VW Mod that shuts voltage off at 3.3V: AW IMR 18650 1600mAh as the AW has higher mah down to 3.3V
VV/VW mod that shuts off at 3.2 V or lower: Panasonic IMR 18650 2250mAh
So Placenta, please share on why Panasonic is your favorite and you feel it blows the AW IMR 1600 away
