No one in SA has stock... I have looked everywhere.
Vaporize.co.za should have stock in the next 2 to 3 weeks though so jay for that!
Thanks for that, I will keep on looking at their site.

Some delays from AWT.. they still haven't shipped my order
Hi. Any luck finding 18500 batteries? I seriously need to replace mine! Thanks.
Not sure who these guys are but here you go: https://goblinhobbies.co.za/panasonic-18500-2040mah-li-ion-battery.html
These have a 3.8A CDR! Probably not suitable for vaping.

They sell FPV drones. Bought mine from them. Friendly straff. Dude operates a full on shop from home.
Thank you very much @daniel craig and @BioHAZarD. Does anyone know if 3.8A CDR is suitable for vaping? Thanks.
No. Presuming a coil at around 1.0 ohms and a fully charged battery with no voltage drop, you will be operating at 4.2A. So, not even good for MTL vaping. With a variable power mod, you could run at lower power, but the margins are too slim imho.

What @Andre said
Thanks very much gentleman. Crazy that we cannot get 18500's here at the moment . Guess there are not many pipers or reo mini users out there! Take care and happy vaping.
@vaporize.co.za Will you by any chance be stocking 18500 batteries?
Love the Reo Mini, but stick to one because of this problem. Fortunately I stocked up on AWs and Efests when the opportunity arose. Will, however, have to restock in the not too distant future
@Andre the reo mini was always my favourite. In fact, if I had cash, I would but all 3 beautiful reo's on the forum at the moment. Reonaughts should have a special fund...if someone runs out of cash and needs to sell their reo for real cheap (as is happening), we should help each other out so people can keep their reo's! I think it's such a shame what's happened to the second hand reo market in SA. With the whole squonking craze, not even the p67 seemed popular. Feel for the new owner. I love my pipes, but out of love and loyalty, I will one day have a reo mini with reomizer again...Will certainly let you know if I find 18500's. Its urgent!

Sorry guys, I never completed the order with AWT.. got held on a string for a month and finally gave up.. I opted to get VapCell instead as Mooch rates their batteries much higher in quality and with true specifications. Unfortunately they do not make 18500s or 14500.. I was only able to get 26650, 18350 and 20700sSome delays from AWT.. they still haven't shipped my order
Have a look here at what we have in stock ..
I have used the 18350 in a le Petit mech and was super impressed with its performance .. I used a 0.4ohm nano alien Ni80 coil and got really nice vapor .. its honestly the first 18350 battery that performs in any way close enough for my vaping preference.. comparable to 30-40W with same setup on a regulated mod
but will definitely keep looking
Would it be possible to use this converter along with an 18350 in a mod that needs 18500 batteries?

@daniel craig thanks for asking the question. If @vaporize.co.za says it's cool I think that's the way to go. I have 18350's and they're perfect in terms of power just need to change them often (but they are small and charge quickly). Happy to try vapecel's with the adaptor for now...
But just seen that the place holders are for 18650 mods. I need a converter for a 18500 mod (pipe/reo!).

That converter will work .. one of them will take an 18350 to 18500.. two will take it to 18650
However.... as much as I would like to make the sale I would rather suggest you make your own placeholder .. The ones above are "gold plated" but has a spring inside to give you a couple of mm play.. I would think there will be a voltage drop using this converter.. for low power applications I suppose it will be fine but if you want to get the best performance I suggest a solid copper slug that you have machined with a raised "positive side" and then wrap it in PVC battery wrap..
If there's a couple of people interested I can see if I can get someone to make a few for us to test..?
That sounds great @vaporize.co.za Thank you for your honesty. I don't have 18500 devices. I was asking the questions on @Ryangriffon 's behalf.
@Room Fogger Do you still need 18500?

Would it not be easier to just get some 18500s?
I actually got two from that place that everyone is screaming about regarding their service,
so I’m sorted for now. Took a month to get to me but I was prepared to wait at that pricing.

Lucky fish, Humbolt, Faiyaz and I are still waiting - nearly 2 months now.
