Well, oh ancient one. While the AW 1600 18650 is an outstanding battery, it ain't the end-all-beat-all. Besides, I needed a different color battery to accessorize with different ensembles.
Oh! you need the color! LOL In that case, you could always use contact paper for some really spiffy "looks"
Seriously, though, my question is more of a wondering out loud kind of thing. Anyone that is knowledgeable about batteries/DC electrical "stuff", I would expect to choose based on what their requirements are. But I see many folks who hear about REOs, do some reading and decide to get one. But despite all advice to the contrary, including the manufacturer's recommendation, they seem to feel that the AW IMR's are somehow "inadequate".
I'm just wondering if folks are still too "focused" on mAH ratings, or if the current subohm trend is fueling the move to get something "better". (I do also realize sometimes it's a desire to "use what they already have", but it seems to me, lately, that it's more than just that).
My guess would be that Borescoped isn't one those folks above, and probably has a good understanding of the trade offs, but I'm not sure, so that's why I asked.
