I bought an AW 18350 700mAH battery for my mini Evic mod that I have coming, but I saw some Ultrafire 1200mAH batts and was wondering if anyone has experience with these batts in the Evic?

I've been reading everywhere that the AW gets the first cut off the production line, and the Efest gets some of the next batch after screening, and Ultrafire is a big ? other than the reviews I saw on Amazon.com.

Yay or nay?

AW IMRs are very good batteries. Efest IMRs are also very good but don't provide the higher current drain needed for running high-powered rigs. Ultrafire ICRs are junk and are widely counterfeited. Trustfire ICRs are mostly junk depending on size/type. They are also popular targets of counterfeiters. I've used Trustfire Blue protected 14650 ICRs with an ego-sized semi-regulated APV and found them to be excellent.

For my Sigelei Zmax V3: I use mostly Efest IMRs in 18350, 18500 and 18650 because they perform perfectly well for the 2.0 ohm single coil vaping I do at 6.5 to 8.0 watts and are value-priced.

Yay.

Not sure about the Efest thing, but AW are the selected best performers. Any batteries with 'fire' in the name have a bad reputation around here. I have seen some reviewed that had significantly worse performance than what the numbers on them indicated. I also think the Ultrafire 1200's might be protected ICR's and suspect they will not work on the Evic.
