It's bigger than some but not Ipad size. It's called Monster D7 for a reason.

How many 26650s do you need to feed it?

[paulS]

Takes one 26650

Nice segue... Aside from their bigger size, why aren't 26650 cells more popular?

Higher cost, usually not much more capacity (If you want the current delivery), not much if any more current delivery than good 18650s.

Mostly no-name manufacturers rewrapped by people like Efest.

I'm using brillipower which Mooch rated pretty high. The hohmtech 26650s are pretty good too. I have some MXJOs that are not near as good brillipowers. Now I'm usingb all my 26650 in eithr DNA mods or FSK mods so I hve no issues with current delivery. In mechs I found 26650s meh.

Me too - especially the no-name one that vented with flame and a minor kaboom. It claimed 32A and 64A pulse.

Which was wildly untrue.

Not bothered with 26650s since.

A Crius of course, lol.

Received a 4 pack of SAMSUNG 25R 18650s. You can never have too many extra cells.

Maybe I've just been lucky (and don't want to jinx it) but the cells I started with are all still functioning perfectly! 25Rs, HE2s and HG2s all awesome performance and durability almost 11 months and counting...and most recharged almost daily with the i4.....
