A BATTERY MOOCH POST: 18350 Shootout Results – Top three performers for 2018

1) Vapcell flat top purple 1100mAh 10A (accurately rated)

2) Aspire flat top 1100mAh 10A (9A rated in testing)

3) Keeppower 1200mAh 10A (1000mAh, 9A rated in testing)

There isn’t a huge difference between the three but the Vapcell could run up to 25% longer in a regulated device and is the better choice for unregulated/mech mods as it hits the hardest.

The Aspire and Keeppower have similar run times and current ratings and I don’t think you’d see a difference between them. The three seem to be different cells though.

I wasn’t able to test the AW 18350’s due to them not being available anywhere. There was a mention of a flood at the factory a while ago but I cannot confirm that. I do not know when, or even if, I will be able to test them.

The two button top cells I found and tested, the Imren and MXJO, were pretty terrible performers compared to the three above. If you have to pick one, pick the MXJO and stay under 5A. Preferably under 3A.

I hope to test another batch of 18350’s in a few months.
