New Vamo came with 18650 batteries, which are nice, but I'm thinking I'd like to use this thing in short mode. I've seen some 18350s that say they don't work with Vamo, so I'm not sure what to get.
Recommend a good 18350 battery to use with a Vamo.

AW18350 these are the best from what all have said here...
I have orederd from the vendor and they are ok
AW IMR 18350 700mAh LiMN Rechargeable Lithium Battery
Since Vamo's are regulated you need unprotected batteries.
Same batt as above just a different vendor.
Batteries : AW IMR 18350 3.7V 700mAh

As such, I don't know if these will work or not?: https://www.fasttech.com/products/0...fire-18350-37v-1200mah-rechargeable-li-ion-ba
Others will chime in and I am in the process of seeing whic works best. But for overall performance and life the folks on this site
say AW is the best.....
Orthers will chime in with their experiences, but overall pretty much AW is the way to go.

Yeah, the FT batts you linked I have no experience with. However, it has been recommended many times on this forum to avoid any batt with the word 'Fire" in it. Just sayin' 
Linked below are the ones i use in my Evic and last the longest. My others are AW IMR 700mah and Efest 800mah, the AWs are nicer than the Efest but the ICR 900mah batteries just dominate, theres no comparison, i even think they last as long as my AW IMR 1100 18500s...
Problem is got them with my Evic and it was from the classies, so i have no idea where he got them, but they look EXACTLY like these linked below.

I found the ultrafires on Amazon with many positive reviews indicating that they do work on folks Vamo devices. Only a few negative reviews saying one of them arrived dead. Against your, no doubt, good advice, I think I'm going to give these a try. 'Hopefully won't run into any "fire" trouble. *knocks on wood* *does three pirouettes*
I think may have to give these ICR''s a try as well. I can read the specs but how about overall life charge cycles what are they rated thanks. But looking on lighthound I did find an ICR 18650 and the cycle life was listed at 300 where the cycle life on the AW 18350 was listed at 500 as well as the AW 18650's.....................

As a general practice using safe chemistry batteries like AW or Efest IMR's is wise. They don't cost much more and are proven to not explode under stress. Why take chances?
Those are junk cells... go with the AW IMR from a reputable vendor like Light Hound.
By no means am I a season veteran, but I ordered a mech and got some cheap protected ICRs. Hindsight being 20/20, I should have started with the AW IMRs, that is what I have since bought. Now, regardless of if I pick up a mech or a vv device, I can drop the AWs in and know it's a good and safe choice. If you pick up a mech later, you'll want the IMRs, buy them now and you'll have saved a few bucks later.
