batteries are my downfall :-/I'm still trying to work it out! For protected I always go for efest ( the red ones) as they are cheap but reliable. I know I did some price comparisons recently and ended up buying efest from myepack because he was the cheapest (even including postage cost) If you are after 650 size then you can get from Torchy on ebay. I know I was after protected 14500 recently and found them from Torchy. His name on there is 'big_f_d_d' Ignore me, you need 'aw imr' where possible for a non electric mod. (the red efest are unprotected and used in evic/provari etc <ones with electrics to protect battery) You need 'aw imr' OR the efest black and gold as they ARE protected

Found some protected Efests 18350 and 18650s on Vapeescape. May not be the best price but can't fault their service Need to buy a normal 18650 for the Evic at some point but hardly ever use it so no big rush. Cheers all

Yup, batteries are a nause Are the red efest are protected? I've seen some yellow efest that are protected, I thought the red ones were unprotected but it wouldn't be the first time I was totally wrong if I am no, you are spot on! Its me that got confused by reading post between us instead of focussing on which of mine are which. Its definately red efest unprotected. Black and gold = protected now they brought out purple efest .... and I dont know wtf they are.....

teethcv actually I wouldn't panic straight off! (as far as I can recall) that 'aw imr' batteries are NOT a brand they are a standard, so batteries have to go through a list of tests and if they pass they get 'aw imr' grading. In general they can be sanyo, panasonic, etc
