Having a hard time finding decent (or any) 18500 cells

Batteries and Chargers Rechargeable Batteries

I bought my recent DW4 with both the 18350 and 18500 tubes. I used the 18350 tube and love it. I thought I had a 18500 cell but it was just a longer than normal 18350 cell by Thrunite. So now looking for 18500 cells, the only Vapecell on 18650battery store is sold out and it’s pretty low 1500mAh which I have 14500 cells about that capacity. Where can I get decent 18500 cells (in stock) for aa great price and ideally free shipping?

Just was thinking maybe a better solution is finding a 14500 to 18500 adapter. Down the rabbit hole I go…

Highest capacity I could find was Panasonic (note CDR = 3.8A)
18500 Panasonic NCR18500A 2040mAh Flat Top

Vapcell supposedly has higher capacity or higher CDR ones, but I haven’t found stock. I’d like to find N26 & N20
Vapcell N24 18500 2400mah 5A
Vapcell N26 18500 2600mah 5A
Vapcell N20 18500 2000mah 10A
Vapcell K15 18500 1500mah 15A/25A

edit with links to stock

whoops forgot to add source for K15: This is probably your best bet for a DW4 on Turbo.

Thanks for the link for the K15 but I mentioned in the original post I didn’t want one with such a low capacity, as that’s not much different than the 14500 that I’m using now (wrapped with cardboard). The N24 and N26 is what I was hoping for.

A member on another forum I posted this same thread to sent me a message about buying directly from a member here that worked or was affiliated with Vapcell. Vapcell_dennis was the BLF member he recommended but I tried to message him but I wasn’t able to since I just signed up and my account was restricted to reading only

Shockli 18500s for 14bux/4.

Got these a long while ago for my milk-frother to replace the 3×AAA doodad.

1600mAH each, think they clocked in at 1500 or so.

Never saw a 14500 that was legit >1000mA, let alone 1500. All mine are 800-900. Must be like those 9900mAH 18650s…

I use Ecolux, but dunno where you’re based or if they ship abroad.

I’m in the US. I did order 2 Vapcell K15 18500s from Illumn but still looking for the N24 and N26. I heard back from vapcell_dennis on here, and he just said to check out the Vapcell AliExpress store and of course even on there, there is no N24 or N26 cells at all.

Vapcell Factory Store right now:

Can you send me a link as I’m not seeing that. Also what country is that from with that currency? I’m in the US

I’m in Canada, and this is from the AliExpress app.

12

The website has only the N24 here

The vapcell store shows N26 here:

there is a coupon code: BKZ3MNRFNCBK

It looks like you have to log in. I didn’t do that so don’t know if you can add to cart and what the coupon gives you or what shipping would be. If you manage to order let us know.

I bought mine from nkon in Europe, good prices, expensive postage, sadly.
