Best 18650 Cells for Vaping

Vaping devices pull high current in short bursts and need a cell you can trust not to vent or sag. Manufacturer specs are often exaggerated for this application. Mooch tests cells under real sustained-load conditions and his CDR numbers are what the vaping community relies on. These cells all have Mooch test results so you know what you are actually getting.
