Be interested to hear your thoughts if you get this raggy, it's definitely on my wish list. I'm a bit torn though between the 18650 and the 18500. Still, either will take a kick (if they ever get easier to get!) I will give you my thoughts when i get one but theres a fair chance yours will be with you before that with the way i buy things. i understand profs theory and it makes sense, the thing is my indoor time is far greater than my outdoor, well it has been for the past year. my new 18650s are getting changed every 48 hrs ive not run one flat yet. what batt time could i expect from the 18500 and the 18350, if its the same as my 17670s were on the ggtb which was 24 hrs im fine with that really. ive probably been doing my touchwood a bit of injustice a bit as today ive been palming it and using the underside of my index finger to fire it and its comfy and semi discreet. raggy...................

im now leaning towards the 18350 vers. does anyone have an opinion on using sd mk2 batts from tw @£3.50 versus using aw batts @ £8. i would want 4 so theres quite a difference but is the difference cost effective. i assume from what ive read i would probably get 18mths from the aws against 6 months with the sd batts but will i still be using the device in 18 mths, 1 or 2 could fail or you could lose or drop one (done that and the protection bit fell off) one other opinion im looking for is, is using 18350s x 4 in 48hrs a better hit experience than 1 x 18650 in 48 hours. my logic being im getting 4 x a fresh hit from the 18350s. the main reason for the change of heart is size really, i just think the 18650 vers is to long with a tank to be discretely used, but against that is how often do i use it outdoors.
raggy...........

Whatever you choose, I'd go for AW's Raggy . . . it's been a false economy to buy anything but in my experience. Personally, I'd stick with the 18650 size . . . little batteries with a short run time drive me mad. I go through 2 18650's in a day as it is. . .

I go through 2 18650's in a day as it is. . . yes AWs do seem a mile better and by the time you have paid double p+p (i loath p+p) your not that much in front moneywise, if ordering the super t at the same time. i do like the 18650 and i have 2 new batts for one, its just the length of it with a tank, id look like a crackhead walking (well hobbling) round the city. if it was a side or top button i could palm most of it but the bottom button used with the pinky it would stick well out the hand. more thought required i suppose. and perpy 2 x 18650 per day thats going some. raggy............

The 18350 won't stay as fresh as an 18650 for as long a period as you think. An 18650 will slowly reduce in voltage from 4.2 to say 3.6v over quite a long period before it falls below a sensible vaping power output. an 18350 will fall below that threshold much much quicker baring in mind that the nominal voltage for these type of battery's is 3.7v. Can you not split the difference and get an 18490 mod?
