Hey guys and gals! I have a few questions about batteries in provaris. Will the ultrafire batteries work in them? And if they do are they just as good as the AW IMR batteries? Also, Which batteries are the best in provaris? Thanks!
Vape on!

There's about 10 things going on in this Post. Here's a couple of Non-Technical Answers.
Any Battery that Fits in your Provari will “Work”, but some Batteries will work more Efficiently than others. Because Batteries have a Large Range of Performance.
AW IMR Batteries are designed to have a High Discharge Rates and work Very Well in VVPV’s when the Output Voltage of the VVPV is Higher than the Battery Voltage.
My theory is that the Difference between the Bargain Basement el-Cheapo Batteries and the AW IMR’s is less than what I spent on a Pack of Cigarettes. So to me, I have Always used the AW IMR’s.

The above pic is of what is left of a Trustfire "protected" 14500 battery that had a thermal runaway event. The BB in which it was in survived relatively unscathed and worked for a few days after a cleanup inside and out, but ultimately the power switch failed and required replacement.

I figure if you've spent the money on a ProVari then you shouldn't cheap out when you get to something as cheap as the battery which is the lifeblood of the mod. Go with the AW IMR's and protect your investment and your face.
There are enough reports of the Provari not firing because the high amp draw causes the Trustfires safety to kick in. Safe yourself the heartache and stick with the AW IMR's.
How about the eFest 18350/18500 IMRs? Every site I see them on say they are safe chemistry. Here are the ones I was thinking about getting.

Found this: AW IMR 1600mAh v Efest IMR 1500mAh v Sanyo UR18650W2 | BudgetLightForum.com
Based on the information presented in those graphs, eFest and AW seem pretty much identical. And yes, eFest are LiMn, which is safe battery chemistry.
It it me or do the Two Batteries on the Right look Longer than the AW IMR?
I've been using these Panasonic's for the last month I think they're doing well, I wish the came in different sizes

I saw that too, but I wasn't sure... I brushed it off as perspective, since they aren't sitting perfectly side by side, but idk...
It looks like there are longer. I dunno.
All I know is I have Never Heard of a Mod that Didn't Take AW IMR's. But I have 2 Mods that Don't Except some Flat Top or Longer Batteries.
