This is actually what the problem has been for me. We'll call it a learning curve. I am getting better, and falling more deeply in love by the day. Now tell me this: is it worth getting the IMR 18490s if I've got a pair of 18500s? I dunno the difference.
The HD detent is for the lock, it makes the lock even harder to move over.
I am really liking this finish! And the AW2600 cell hits very nice on this sexy mama. Now I need a p+10440, then I have to get twins for the 18650 and 18500 for backups
oh yeh a PP 10440. David when are these coming out? its a must have.
Sorry for the off-topic, but Argentinean Vapers NEED your help... And as many of you here in this thread have become kind of familiar to me... I thought of giving this a try...

Friday for the P+10440 and P+16340, plus a few 18500's and 18350's i had left over and i should have them all shipped out within a week of ordering. It'll just be first come first serve.
Any changes to the dimensions of them???? Or do they stay the same.
The IMR 18490's supposedly have a higher and more consistent voltage. If memory serves, the IMR's go from about 4.1 down to about 3.6 volts, consistently averaging higher than 3.7; whereas the protected 18500 cells start at 3.9 but decline more quickly so that you only get 3.7 volt vaping with a fully charged cell. They might get down to 3.1 or 3.2 volts if I recall correctly. Somewhere in this massive thread there are probably more accurate details.
But what you should take from this is that the IMR batteries will more consistently give you the voltage you expect or better.
Of course that will change in the future if you intend to add The Kick (currently in testing) to your PV. NHaler claims that it will boost and regulate output voltage. At that time, keep in mind that a diminished cell at a lower voltage will drain more quickly than a fully-charged cell; so I predict that IMR batteries would still be worthwhile regardless of the difference in rated mAh.
I have some protected 18500's but I haven't tried them yet. They're rated with a higher mAh rating -- but honestly, I'm not sure whether that is an actual higher capacity or that AW is more honest with their 18490's ratings as opposed to TrustFire's more optimistic rating... or maybe a little bit of both?
I'm also for the first time trying out a different manufacturer's IMR 18500 cell rated at 1600mAh. I suspect it'll perform for a similar duration as AW's more conservatively rated 1100mAh 18490, as they're basically the same chemistry and size as far as I'm aware. But we'll see whether the rating is truthful or merely exaggerated, and I'll give my unbiased opinion in a day or two. UPDATE: I'm not impressed. See comment #1631.
One final thought: If you intend to play with batteries of different depth, it wouldn't be a bad idea to bookmark Dave's earlier comment for instructions on when to use what o-rings and washer spacers.

I wouldn't say either one gives more reliable voltage, both of their outputs are equally consistent, but the IMR is able to hold higher voltage under load (.1 to .2 volts higher) with higher amperage draws to a point (usually about 1/2 way through the life of the battery). The IMR also doesn't last as long. My general rule of thumb, if you are running LR atomizers, then the IMR is a good choice if you are running higher resistance atomizers but if want max battery life, go with the Protected as the Protecteds will run LR atomizers too. To sum up, i'd experiment and run both and see what you like....

Also, i'll try to get up a test comparison of the two IMR 18490 VS P18500 here soon....i've been meaning to get it done...
Update: I don't believe the IMR18500 batteries have any noticeably improved capacity over the AW IMR batteries. It's only halfway through the work day and I just had to trade out my spent cell for a fresh one.
Hey David, are the few of P+500s which you will have available at the end of the week slanted or flat tops?
Thanks.
Thanks.
How about those P-10 dimensions David......Will they change from the original P-10?
Just recieved my P+18650 this morning and it's everything I expected and more.
1 - No larger than it has to be? (Check)
2 - No heavier than it has to be? (Check)
3 - Fit and finish perfect? (Check)
4 - Smooth yet "grippy"? (Check)
5 - Smooth, sure button? (Check)
6 - Pleasing to the eye? (Check)
7 - Gets lustful looks from fellow vapers? (Check and double check)
8 - Hits like a freight train? (Check)
9 - Feels good in the hand? (Check)
10 - Refused to show fingerprints. (Check)
11 - Do I regret not buying one of every model now? (Check)
12 - Would I consider giving it up? (Only after being pried from my cold, dead fingers.) errr, I mean (Check)
Thanks for making such a great product David.

We need pics Roi or it didn't happen!

Ah, it's Precise Plus eye candy you're after, is it? Here are a few cell phone shots to tide you over.
