If you find a source where the 18650 cells are cheap... Then its most likely to be fake. Especially if they aren't from genuine vendors.
In this video we will conclude the test and I show you what the result was.
Not surprisingly most cells did fail except for the more expensive one. But also what was interesting was that many of the ordered cells didn't even show up...
I go through my latest order from JLCPCB. DIYBMS from Stewart. Assemble and quick look at the setup including what you basically need to order a 14s system to your self.

To get a 14s setup running with relay board you would need:
1 Main board (Order from JLCPCB)
1 Wemos mini
1 Programmer
14 slave/monitor modules (Order from JLCPCB)
14 Attiny841 microcontrollers
50 connectors (3 extra)
couple of pin male and female headers. I recommend getting both single row and dual row.

In this video I take a quick look at the cheap but still capable BMS with USB and Bluetooth connection. Is it worth it?
-- More information below! --
I would still go with the Batrium all days long for a power wall serving your house :)
I take a quick look at this rather cheap (50USD) capable BMS. I would say it can compete with the more expensive one and could be an alternative. But no matter what you get what you pay for.
The application is rather buggy and only partially translated. It have the main function but thats it. The Android mobile application is full Chinese and therefore useless to me.
Im gonna add this up to my 14s pack i built earlier. Lets see how it can handle that and also let us hook this up to the Frafana raspberry pi project.

Quick look at the inside of the Suunko 709A spotwelder. Tool for your DIY 18650 tesla powerwall!
-- More information below! --
In this video we take a quick look at the Spot welder in question.

Tesla packs super deal!
https://goo.gl/dZn7UY
Its hard to find good 18650 cells but above you have really good deals!
In this video i quickly check out the spotwelder that i used doing fuse-wire in an earlier video. Can be found here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_b3OJuQpEE&t=1s
3 things to consider.
1. It need huge fuse/breaker. 16A slow blow is recommended.
2. It will create sparks and scare the heck out of you if you do it wrong. Need to press firmly against the cell.
3. Start on low time/ number of pulses otherwise you will burn holes
