I don’t have any experience with the 18350 batteries so I am looking for some recommendations for a good high drain unprotected battery to use in the Manker E14.
I get good results with the purple Efest 18350 cells. There is a light purple version and a newer dark purple version that performs ever so slightly better, both work excellent so far.
Here’s an Amazon link but I’m afraid I do not know much about american sellers: Amazon.com
Unfortunately, it looks like Mountain Electronics is out of both. If you need them very soon, I’d call around to some local “vape shops” and see if they have any in stock. A lot of times they do, for only a few dollars more than Mountain Electronics.
1st gen purple Efest 18350 were ~750mah in capacity while 2nd gen purple Efest 18350 are ~930mah despite the labels both advertising 700mah. I think 1st gen is also higher drain. Both solid cells though.
