Generally speaking, most vapers avoid batteries with "fire" in the name.
Also, on the candlepower forums, there's a discussion about some fake and cheap Ultrafires on Ebay. They claim that Ultrafire does not make 18650's over 3000 mAh, and some of these batteries are testing out under 1000 mAh.
Go through one of ECF's trusted vendors. RTD Vapor would be my go-to for new batteries.
No, wrong battery for vaping use, those are protected ICR cells.
You need high drain IMR / hybrid safer chemistry unprotected batteries for APV's.
I'd look for batteries with at least a 10a CDR for a vamo, mah isn't as important as the continuous discharge rate & chemistry of the battery.
Batteries are not a good/smart place to try and save money.
Chose the correct battery for your application and only buy from reputable vendors / dealers.

You need a IMR (Li-Mn) or IMR/Hybrid safe-chemistry, high-drain battery. Check out a blog post by Baditude (our resident battery/safety expert) regarding batteries and chargers. CDR (continuous discharge rate) is the number you need to be looking at.
