Thanks Imeo. They fit nicely on the telescope and bottom section but not in the extension. I will try the sanding.

Very good Nandy my friend. Please sand only the lips of the extension and only from inside
This is a problem with many of the 18650's out there, not the GG at all, although I do appreciate your problem, as you obviously want to use 18650's with your GG.
I had this problem, repeatedly, some of the batteries are so warped they are not even straight, which is ridiculous.
I always sourced my batteries in China, and would try various makes, the worst of which were Soshine, which incidently are the most expensive also. Obvioulsy suppliers do the same, so its a case of pot luck really.
I normally order at least 4 pairs, and that way Im usually lucky in that I have 3 working pairs. Avoid Soshine !
This problem affects many ecigs and not just the GG.
Trustfire 2400mAh protected ( black with flames on side and red stripe) are the best I have found, and fit all, including my GGT.
Try rolling your batteries on a flat surface, and just see how many of them are warped, you will be surprised.

It seems to vary just a bit from individual telescopic tube to tube.
They're a tight fit on #61, shorted out a 3000 mah on that one. No problem with #161. Obviously my older one is the HV vape, and the newer is my 3.7v model.
On the positive side, the aluminum telescopic tube doesn't have a problem at all; must be because it's thinner than the brass. Yea, (formerly) unnecessary purchase!

telescope is moving so it takes some difference to batteries but not big ones.
The best Batts by far are the AW Batts I have not had one that hasnt fit yet and when it comes to quality they by far are tops
Can you give us a link please mwa? I would certainly be interested as 18650's are my battery of choice.
Hi Petbe, Booker posted a link in this thread (page3) to AW18650s from Ledfire. I use the same supplier, they are in Cardiff so very easy for us in the UK. Daz
Pretty sure Cloud9vaping also has them... here is the link to the LiMN series.

Hi , T-Hefner,
I've bought 2 AW 18650 1600mAh, but i'm not very totally pleased with it...
What can, this kind of batteries could bring more to vapor ?
I don't understand, i found my 18650 2400mAh ultrafire stronger than AW ones.
Maybe autonomy is better with AW, not sure of that...
I'm in test.

Yeah, but this one is unprotected, and 1000mAh less than the other AW.

Im sure she would want the best vape possible? Have you tried both of these batteries? Well I have and I would recommend the IMR AW over the Protected version any day. And we also know for sure that the LiMN is going to fit in the TS. My protected version does NOT fit in my TS. With or without the sticker. Plus the LR atty really shines with the LiMN.
No problem here with Ultrafire BRC 18650 3000mAh batteries, they slide in beautifully, snug but not scraping in anyway.
Hi Vapn
AW IC 2600mAh fits TS without any force in my GGv2 and powers my LR attys like a hammer.
I haven't try LiMN one, I believe it works though!
Perhaps you should also give one a go next to the protected version. Higher mAh ratings don't mean much when you are after a good vape. I don't mind changing my battery more often if I get output comparable to the LiMN. Especially if you are going to also try a LR atty...... The LiMN can handle the higher amp draw.
and the aw ic18650 2600mah can handle the demands of any low resistance atomizer just fine, the imr in this size is just wasted battery life for our needs...great for other non e-cig applications though, but for us it's really no different than the aw17670, just bigger.
Ouch! Sorry I made a confusion here mate -So which is it? Have you or haven't you?
I have 18490 1100mAh AW IMR (not 1600mAh 18650 IMR) and 2600mAh AW IC 18650
