Thanks you very much 
@ Dennis …. I am gonna order a few 14500’s Flat top & Button Top.
Question: Are the “Button Tops” ’securely’ spot welded??
Thanks in advance…… 
Really interested in seeing that red 2800mah cell. Molicel has been kicking serious ass lately according to Mooch’s review. Hoping the P28A will be better than the current best performers VTC5D and VTC6A.
Safe to use, directly welded, no nickel strip
If a larger shear force is applied, it may fall off.
Thank you very much. I got two samples a few months ago. I didn’t test them. If I tested them, it would affect the performance of the battery.
Direct to HKJ test, but lost on the way
unfortunately :cry:
I heard that the performance is better than P26A. It can be compared with VTC5D.
Thank you Dennis!! That sounds great.
I just wanted to make sure they were spot welded. :+1:
Sorry for the silly question, how is everyone ordering the 16340 cells?
When I click on the link in the first post and in Maukka’s post #95, both links are not in English.
I can’t seem to find where to change the language.
Thanks for any help!
Here is the right link purged of everything:

Should give you a link in English.
Close your browser too just in case.
BlueSwordM, thanks for the link and the tip!
Closed browser and deleted cache for Ali express and now all is good.
Damned… I just recently got a couple 650 and 700 mAh 16340’s. How much extra run time do you get out of 100mAh in this cell size?
Would have to see how much current your light uses. If you use higher current the difference will be not insignificant
about 15% roughly (1/7)
Runtime test comparing the new Vapcell 1000mAh 14500 to a Windyfire 650mAh cell.
Vapcel 1 - Windyfire 0
(except the first minute)
The Vapcell 14500 is one of a kind. I also use it in my Reylight Ti and it is perfect combo. I tested two of them to be about 1000mah. I’ll get some Vapcell 16340 later too once I find a good 16340 light.
This might help in your search
CRX, thanks for the testing, I hope the 16340 800mAh performs well too!
Yeah it probably would have been better with a regulated driver but that is the only AA sized light I have, still gives a fair guide.
I have a couple of the 16340s on the way to me too, we’ll see how they compare to the AWT yellow 16340s which are the best high drain 16340 cells I’ve had so far for both output and longevity.
I’m interested in this as a replacement for the Olight battery in my S1R. I know I won’t be able to charge it in the light, but I’m not that happy with the ORB-163C05, as it does not do so well in cool temps (or colder) providing current for turbo mode.
Yeah, I’ve never had much faith in the Olight cells. The AmpsPlus 16340 is quite good too.
So the Olight ORB-163C05 cell just has an exposed negative contact at the top of the cell?
I’ve modded cells to have this feature before such as in the MBI HF which has a built in charging unit using the same principle.
And this carbon fibre spare cell carrier with built in charger.
I wouldn’t recommend modifying cells if you’re not confident in doing so though.
Gotta be very careful not to short these cells.
Interested how the contacts are arranged in the S1R, springs, contact plate or both used?
