Can't give you exact times because I haven't received mine yet but you're going to get a significant longer vape time with a 18650.

The 18350 ... probably 3-4 hours with heavy moderate use.

18650 ... a day.

im getting about 8-10 hrs using the panasonic 18650s in mine with moderate use.

I use the 18350’s in Provari, Vamo and Kicked GGTS. I almost always have two of the mods with me and sometimes all three. If I stick to just one mod I usually swap batts around lunch time. If I'm in a finicky mood and switching back and forth between them I can go all day without changing. I can put bigger batts in all if them if I wanted to but they fit in my shirt pocket much better in short mode. It's really a matter of which is more important to you. For me having the smaller mod is much more important than the few seconds it takes to swap batteries. Part of the reason I like them small has to do with our rules regarding ecigs at work, and not getting caught breaking them 8)

What resistance and voltage/watts? Probably something we should mention, as that plays a big part of the equation. I'll post what I get out of mine as well when I get it (should have never ordered from China ... lol)

Well it depends on what atty you are using. I can vape most of the day with low resistance Ego_C with a 18350 battery. With a genesis style atty....I can maybe vape for 4 hours. Genesis style attys really drain the crap out of your batteries. I go through 4 18350 batteries a day with them.

Everyone is different. I prefer to have a smaller unit and carry an extra battery in my pocket....so all my devices use 18350 batteries.

I just got mine yesterday and my 18350 batteries won't work (not IMR and protected) but it works with my 18650 Panasonics. I am using a 2.5 ohm Kanger T3 and set the watts at 6 in RMS mode. Battery was 4.2v to start and after 5 ml. of juice, it reads 4.0v. IMS 18350 batts are on the way because with a 18650, this beast is huge :laugh:

Using AW 18350's, I got through 1.25 3.5 ml tanks on 2 batteries running around 8 watts. I also vaped some on another Vivi tank and a drip atomizer.

My batteries are new, so they may have better life once broken in.

Anyway for me I don't foresee a problem vaping in mini mode as long as I carry a spare battery.

I have a pair of Efest batteries as well.
Trying them now.

This is purely unscientific, but it appears my Efest 800 mah batteries are lasting longer on a charge than my 700 mah AW's.

I am kind of surprised though.
I have 900 mah Trustfire 14500's that don't last as long as 750 mah AW's and most reviews show that AW's generally underrate the claimed mah rating.

All that said....
I am hitting them pretty hard, running @ 11W in shorty mode.
When the battery gets to 3.5V time is running out.

(edit)
And I would like to add that so far the build quality of my Efest batteries appears equal to the AW's

I started using my new fully charged Efest 18650 2250 mah battery on Saturday night and went to bed about two hrs. later. I used it all day Sunday and am still using it. It is at 3.5 volts right now. I have been vaping at 8.5 watts for most of the time, and i switched out the attys on my Vivi Nova's to 2.8 ohms Saturday morning 1st thing. On Friday 1 of them had a 1.8 ohm on it and the other had a 2.4 ohm.

I heard somewhere that the Efest was a rebranded Panosonic?

I have read that about AW as well on this board.
I haven't seen any evidence supporting that though.

The only Panasonic high drain batteries I have seen are Lion/Limn hybrids.
Efest and AW don't offer hybrids, but offer Limn high drains.

I know Vamos aren't meant to be operated using protected batteries, and I've read posts by users having issues using Trustfire flames.

That said, I put in one of my 3100mah AW flat tops.
I've been running it dialed up to 13W using an AGA-T atomizer.

I've vaped a couple mls of juice so far with no issues.

I would like to add, since my last post to this thread, I've seen Efest 18650 batteries that look to be the same as the IMR AW and the Hybrid Panasonic.
Not sure if they are the same or not, but they look like they may be.
