I only have one set of Efest 18650 2000 mAh Flat Top High Drain IMRs. I have seen that there are many that disagree with purchasing on ebay, but I got these two from ebay and they are fine. I have had good luck with stuff on ebay, but I do feel as of now that some things need to be purchased from 'reputable' dealers. So...batteries are one of those "some things". Here is my confusion and question. The Panasonic NCR18650PF Hybrid 2900 mAh Flat Top, Efest Purple IMR 18650 2500 mAh 35 amp Flat Top or the AW IMR 18650 2000mAh. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe these are all High Drain. So which would be best for my Vamo V5?

Any of the three will work, and all three are indeed high drain batteries.

The Panasonic NCR18650PF has 2900 mAh, so it should last the longest.

THe Efest Purple 2500 mAh will last nearly as long, but the 35 amp rating is rather overkill in a regulated mod. You'll never use all those amps in the Vamo, these are more suited for a sub-ohm rebuildable application.

The AW 2000 mAh has the lower amp rating and won't last as long as the previous two. It should still last an entire day's worth of vaping.
