Nice! I wish they were a tad smaller (18mm wide) because that extra half mm might prevent them from fitting a couple of my mods. I've been wanting to see a higher capacity high drain 18650 though. It'd be nice to see some more graphs on these, and find out exactly what the chemistry is. I guess this is what they're using to replace the cgr18650ch.

I use NCR18650B's in my Vamo, they are exceptional. I have read many positive comments regarding the PD's too.

Anyone tried this bat in a mechanical mod with low ohm coils+rba

I have one of the Panasonic's. Got them yesterday along with couple of Samsung INR18650-20R's.
When I get a tank meter, I will be comparing these two to my AW IMR 18650 2000mAh under load, in a Smok Natural.
Based on the reviews I have seen, the Samsung's should be quite good.

I have two of the pd's they are true 2900mah, last about a day and a half on a sub ohm mech, awesome batteries, they really are that good. Can't say much more other than I've tested them under load and they hold true to appx 3.5v on a dual coil at .3ohms, great batteries.

PF version is released this month. It should be even better than PD.

The PFs are available at Fasttech. I can't say if they are original or not. I'm sure someone else would know better than me.

I got mine from RTD and I love 'em! I'm a little leery using them in a mech because they are a hybrid and not a full IMR so I use them in my SID and they can last better than 2 days but I usually change them out after one.

Keep an eye on Orbtronic. They should release new model. Only for mech. We'll see.
