Hi guys hope you're all doing well. I recently got a pretty sweet Caravela clone from vape science. Here's a little backstory. I work at a funeral home in Chicago and I walk to work during the warmer seasons. Long story short my Hana v3 will be too bulky in my suit pocket and I'm looking for the best FLAT TOP 18350 to use in my Caravela. I usually run a dual coil anywhere from .5 to .8 on my igo w. I know all about battery safety and the life of a fully charged 18350 I would solely be using it for breaks at work(I have my sony 18650s for home use). Unfortunately Sony doesn't make vtc 18350s so I'm looking for the next best flat top you guys could recommend. Thanks guys!
Safest Flat Top 18350?

Thanks for the recommendation! I've heard around that the AW's are the next best thing to Sonys. How do Efest do on safety ratings for subohm?
The regular (red/silverlabel) Efest and AW have about the same maximum discharge rate for 18350s at around 6A.
You don't want to sub-ohm on any 18350 besides the Efest Purples I linked, at least not below .8Ω.

Hmmm... Google is your friend buddy.
I'm not sure if you just own an 18350 Caravela tube, or a set of tubes. If you have the set of tubes, might I suggest moving up to using the 18490/18500 tube? Those batteries are going to suit you much better for the type of coils your looking to vape anyways.
Cheers

@jco514: Get your batteries at illuminationsupply.com. I got my purple Efest 18500s in a couple of days.

My $0.02 on the issue. Don't buy batteries on eBay, too easy to get fakes. I'll second the recommendation to move up to 18500 size batteries if you really want to go sub ohm.

While I've had a couple of incidents with fakes on Ebay, I just wanted to throw my two cents in as well. I get a LOT of GREAT deals on Ebay! Their money back guarantee makes it very unlikely that you'll get screwed if you stick to sellers with EXCELLENT feedback scores! A lot of Vape shops and suppliers have taken to Ebay to get rid of overstock and keep overhead down so excluding it from your list of trusted vendors could be a COSTLY choice! You may have to deal with the hassle of going through the resolution center and waiting a few weeks, but trust me, even jerks want to be able to keep selling on there, and losing out on ONE sale vs. potential thousands, just ISN'T worth it to them to NOT work something out that will be beneficial to you! Even when I've had honest mistakes turn out, I've ended up coming out AHEAD, as they wanted that POSITIVE feedback!
My motto is WHY pay FULL PRICE when you don't have too, plus my trusted sellers on there offer FREE EXPEDITED shipping!!! Also I concur regarding the Efest, that's what I use and got them off of Ebay. I also get some of my batts from Amazon and some from Fasttech. I REALLY was impressed with the ones from FT given the price I've paid. I don't use them for Sub-ohm vaping but they work EXCELLENT for my needs and CAN'T beat the price, and I really like the plastic case they come in vs. the plastic bags and padded boxes all of my others have come in. Hope I've helped some!
