Has anyone used these yet?if so post your thoughts and comparisons to other big name batterys..from what I've seen in my 26650 elite and heard from others these are the new hot battery on the market and also very affordable

I have one of the purple elites 26650 for my hades and the battery is a monster and I just got the Le petit gros and I'm waiting for my pvtso elite 18350s to arrive...has anyone used the 18350s and if so they pretty good for going down super sub ohm?

18350's are a bad idea to go super sub ohm with, ever. Even the ones you're talking about are 10.5A continuous 14A pulse... That's .4Ω lower cap on continuous, and .3Ω if you feel like pushing the pulse. Neither of which I would say are really super sub-ohm.

Other than that, never heard of the brand. Hopefully their other batteries' amp ratings are higher :p But like I said, 18350's are a bad idea to be sub ohming with anyway so yeah xD

e: Just looked up the 18650 and 26650's, the 26650 has a nice continuous amp rating but the pulse is kinda weak (48c/64p). As far as the 18650 goes, there are definitely better options out there (It was rated 25c/30p) like the sony VTC's (30c/60p), Efest 35A's, Samsung 25r (aka smurf batteries, 25c/100p). And honestly, with as low as their pulse ratings are I'd be worried their continuous ratings are a bit higher than would prove in reality... But I'm no electrical engineer, so take that with a grain of salt :p

I have 2 PVTSO yellow 18650's (not sure which "line" that is.) They're rated at 30A (I'll assume that's a Max discharge rating) and 1600mAh. I never build below .5 ohms so in general I'm not just beating up my batteries quite as bad as some others. I use these batteries as backups, mainly because the battery life is very short compared to my vtc4's and efests. They do seem to work good though, haven't had any problems with them. Also they charge very quickly.
