Any Reputable Canadian 18650 Battery Vendors?

Hello All,

Does anyone know which 18650 battery would last the longest when vaping at 13 watts? I have listed some below but any not listed recommendations are welcome as well.
(PS please don't respond with battery safety information or suggestions for me to look at mooch ratings)
Also, does anyone know if the vendors in the last 3 below links are reliable?

Thanks!

Sanyo NCR18650GA 3500mAh 10A

AW Protected 18650 3400 mAh

Samsung 35E 18650 3500mAh 8A Battery - INR18650-35E

Sony VC7 18650 Unprotected Li-ion Battery

18650 Battery 3500mAh Protected Li-ion 3.7V Rechargeable Orbtronic 10A Dual Protection (Panasonic-Sanyo inside) ORB3500P For High Performance Flashlights  

So I just bought a kit, it doesn't come with batteries -- which I wasn't told (was led to believe it was charged through the USB port according to vape store employee). So I ordered x4 Nitecore-NL1834 18650 3400mAh 3.7 Protected Lithium Ion (Li-ion) batteries and now the door won't close. I read an old article saying that Protected 18650 can be bigger. If there's a possibility of buying batteries that cost $18 a pop shouldn't they let you know there's a chance that it won't be the right size?
Is there a trick to getting the battery lid to close or do I need to now buy unprotected 18650 batteries and hopefully get my money back on the protected batteries I bought?  

So, I know that the Sony VTC batteries were the like "Go-to" battery. But they are being faked a lot and are hard to come by some authentic ones.

So whats the next best option?

I have a few different batteries and I definitely can tell the difference in the quality of the hit, and the life of the battery.

I have a red IMR 2000 mAh 18650 and it hits the worst out of all of my batteries.

Then I have a blue samsung battery (Can't really read the writing) but I can see it says 25r on it. This one hits decent.

Then I have a green 2600 mAh battery. Its a beast. Hits like a champ and lasts long. I would like to find a similar battery to this one. Im guessing this is the Sony VTC 5.

I really want to find something that is just as good as the Green one.

Does anyone know where to find these or a similar battery that is 2600mAh 30 amp? If so, are there any deals going on online where I could get a good price? Id like to order some new batteries.

Thanks for the help all!


Edit. One more question. Anyone know the difference between the Amps on each of the batteries? Just from guessing id say the red is 20 amps, blue is 25, and the green is 30? Does that sound right?  

I have a pair of new batteries that are green 18650's that say "Danger: Do not use outside of battery pack." The numbers are very faint but appear to be SE US 1865 UTC6 C6/ G 0964 8812K05P 144. I don't remember when I bought these or where from, but I buy only at reputable batteries sites. Any help would be appreciated. I am afraid to use them.  

Hi, so I have several different brands of 18650 batteries but I'm getting ready to pick up the new Geekvape Aegis X, I wanted to get some new batteries. I have been reading up on it but I'm so confused, I don't vape very high wattage It's always under 50 watt, 45 usually being the most, so what would be the best batteries for long activity? Any input would really help. Thanks

Hey guyz,i am planning to buy a mtl setup and was wondering how to decide on good battery as i cant get a good explanation to the terms being used.i plan to vape around 15-25 watt and am looking for a 18650 battery that can last me well.i also saw people saying that sometimes its better to go for more amps than mah.So i was hoping someone can help me understamd as well as decide in some batteries  

I am interested in setting up an Arduino charger for my vape batteries. But the charger I want to use, an Adafruit bq24074 solar charger, does not support nominal 3.6V batteries. And basically all the Mooch approved batteries are nominal 3.6V. So, which 3.7V batteries are considered fairly robust for high current, vaping purposes?  

So I have (2) 3100mAh Efest batteries rated @ 20A and (1) 2500mAh Efest batterie rated @ 35A. I'm experiencing a pretty annoying problem with all 3 of them and that is they aren't lasting nearly as long as I feel they should be. I can EASILY vape through a battery in less than one hour while heavy vaping. I'm aware that I am sub-ohming and that requires more power from the battery but these are just going way too fast and something isn't right. I have a BEC Pro mod that takes a single 18650 battery and I'm vaping an Aspire Atlantis tank @ 35 watts with the .5 ohm coil installed. I charge each battery fully with a Nitecore i2 before using them and it'll say 4.2V on my mod & on my Smart BEC app it will say 100% as I take my first few puffs but then starts draining at a ridiculous rate until they are dead. I am not aware what the mod efficiency is on my BEC Pro or if there might be something not working properly within my device. Can someone please help me find what's wrong with these? Maybe some of you have eperienced this problem with Efest batteries in the past? Thanks in advance!

Edit: These are genuine Efest batteries as I bought them straight from the manufacture on Ebay.  

Just bought a brand new pair IMR 18650 2500mah batteries, when they start getting low and you're getting late fee from batteries did you take them out and charge them or let them drain completely, the mod shows a little juice left in them but I'm getting a very light vape.
