Micke, welcome to FC.
I'm a bit of a flashaholic and have done lots of research on led flashlights and the Lithium Ion batteries that power them. The current highest mAh rating of any 18650 is 3400 mAh. Anything above that is falsely advertised and should be avoided at all costs. It's most likely from some old laptop battery pack that has been harvested and the cells re wrapped with a protection pcb that may or may not even work. They are typically only 1500 mAh which isn't even close to their "super power" claims. "You get what you pay for" comes to mind.
The standard 18650 is an unprotected cell at 18 mm diameter and 65 mm in length. The 0 refers to the shape of the cell. Protected 18650s are sometimes referred to as 18700 but most people just call them protected 18650s. They are usually 69 to 70 mm long. There may be some cells that won't fit comfortably or at all, in the Haze.
I tried my Fenix cells because they match up to the length of the Haze battery, I already own them and I know they are a quality brand. They are what I would consider a safe bet. Fenix, Nitecore, Olight, Xtar, Eagletac, Orbtronic, Zebralight, SoShine, Keeppower and Klarus batteries would be some of the few that I trust but only if I already had them on hand or could find them at a lower price than the Haze batteries. Might as well stick with the Haze batteries if purchasing price is lower, unless you want to use them in other devices that accept 18650 batteries. The Haze batteries are just barely skinny enough to fit into my Fenix flashlight but won't fit into my Klarus flashlight.
I believe you could use unprotected 18650 batteries in the Haze but you would have to modify the battery. You could glue a 4 mm length magnet or put a dab of solder onto the positive terminal. This would bring the battery to the proper length. It does seem like a bit of trouble and would require the skills, tools and material. I know quality(made in Japan not China) Panasonic 18650 3400 mAh unprotected batteries can be had for about $10 each. Considering you can purchase the Haze XL batteries for about $15 each, it hardly seems worth the trouble if only using them in your Haze.
I'm thinking that the Haze isn't a high current draw device. I believe that is something that draws over 3 amps. Some high power flashlights can really suck down the juice.
I did a little measuring and the Haze battery comes in at 68 mm(roughly) in length. My Fenix ARB-L2 battery has a 68 mm stated length which I found on Fenix-store.com. It appears by my eye to be a fraction of a hair shorter than the Haze battery. I tried a DEWorld battery that I purchased from Radio Shack and it doesn't fit. It measures out at 69.5 mm by my rough measure. I would say that any battery measuring over 69 mm is a gamble and probably won't fit. I would definitely try to keep the length between 68 and 68.5 mm.
I have also pondered on the "special" protection circuit built onto the Haze batteries. I can't envision it being any different than any other protected battery. I'm sure it's for marketing reasons and to keep those who don't have knowledge of the battery design from making a dangerous mistake.

I wondered how that was done. Thank you for the link. Following the link, I read the nomination thread guidelines and then posted the specific links from the 2 posts there. All credit to Count V, of course!
Welcome my friend. I am also excited to see what else might be coming our way. Especially since I lost one recently. Could not find it in TN stores to show my cousin during my visit but I put a very good word out to several of them for sure.got my haze yesterday from puffitup, put the batteries on the charge for the day. Came home for bed and wam bam thank you man. started her off with a conduction screen bowl obviously after a few burn offs. interesting smell from the burn offs. either way great first bowl followed by some blue cough shatter and damn taste was awesome. Loving the versatility of this unit. the two bowls is just awesome i think. and the cans just make a cool experience as well in my opinion. nice and tidy. however a little fiddly.loving this unit so far. excited to see what she has in store to come
Now that sounds right up my alley!!!As c76man said NO ISO!!! I personally use jack Daniels honey whiskey on damp, not dripping qtip. The after taste is yummy .

It's so easy to pull out it's dropped down when barely moving it. As I told Hailey its not a huge deal as I like the stainless option better. Hailey mentioned never seeing the battery labelled that way before but it works fine. Can't speak to the "reverse polarity protection". Man this thing is versatile. I'd never vaped before but friends I've turned on so far say it blows away others they've tried. I'm really glad the cans don't have to be full to enjoy a session. I usually fill about half way which is good for about 6 or 7 nice hits using temp 3 and then 4 to finish it off. Damn all this has given me a reason to go fire one up right now.Welcome MO to FC.
I have read a couple times now about the loose fitting mouthpiece. Seems like a rare problem. Is it loose enough were it may fall out or just easy to pull out? My mouthpiece pulls out fairly easy but won't fall out. I haven't tried the cans yet but will have to do that today. I'm more of a convection person. That's an oops on the battery label for sure. That brings a question to mind. Does the Haze have reverse polarity protection? I imagine it does but has anyone got confirmation?
I asked this question to Haze before and yes it is protected. You can insert the battery upside down by error and that will not harm the battery or the product. Hope this helps.It's so easy to pull out it's dropped down when barely moving it. As I told Hailey its not a huge deal as I like the stainless option better.

Nice, I've been worried about this! Also, FYI the serial number is laser etched on the inside of the battery door. I threw away the box and freaked out that I forgot to write down the number. Customer service told me where to find itI asked this question to Haze before and yes it is protected.
