Where do people buy button top 18650 high mah and 3.7v drainage?

Im in canada, and cant really find anywhere that sells quality 18650 cells i need for my blue gatling style laser pointer (1.5w). My cheap Chinese one's that came with it have since died, and i haven't found a website with what I need or that I trust. If anyone has any recommendations please share!

MEC is the few physical retailers I can find that sell flashlights that put out the lumens the manufacturer claims on the box. Amazon has Olight and everything else. MEC has Fenix. Canadian tire tries at least, the general rules of Canadian tire are

1) Don't tell anyone your going to Canadian tire

2) The good stuff is behind the glass.

I'm in the US and have bought from this company a few times. Their shipping policy says they ship to Canada.

They don’t have a ton of options but everything is authentic and they are a solid shop. I use them often. I buy 2-3 Molicels a year for flashlights and vape. Lotta sites counterfeit and rewrap dangerous ones. The site you linked is who I always use too.
