hijack good points, but I still have the Red 18350s I got for a Lambo LavaTube V1 and now use them in mechs. So I would tend to recommend good high-drain IMR like VTCs as they are always good and in case the person moves on to a mech, SX3x0 or DNA30 as if you have a few batteries and rotate them they can last a couple of years or more.

I only use high drain IMR/hybrid batteries, namely Sony VTC4 and 5 or Panasonic PF and as you say they are a good safe future proof recommendation.

That's for the 18650 size, unfortunately there is no corresponding batteries in the smaller sizes and the choice then is not as straight forward.
A bit of research, referring to the hijack guide and the great info ronaldo has given helps make an informed decision

I have also noticed that VapingBad seems to always be on the button very well read and educated on batteries he knows what he is talking about as well

Thanks ronaldo and @scooby you do me too much honour, but it's nice to have it confirmed I'm on the right track as I knew jack about Li batteries when I started and only bits and pieces now. Lucky I was lurking here before buying my first 18350s and got Red Efests and a Xtar charger from VE Jason (the charger is still going strong), I might have got something with Fire written on the wrapper if it were not for this place. I didn't have a good experience with sticking to cigalikes for far too long (the batteries lasted less time than it took to charge them), then the eGos I got were cheap sh1te and only lasted a few months so decided to learn from my mistakes.

you need a bit of shit to appreciate when you have something decent I am often amazed how much power a small cell can actually handle

No, I was blind, but I stopped drinking meths and it cleared right up.

Received all six batteries from Ecolux today, charging now.

Must say the service from them and Multicorepc is excellent.

Did you get free protective cases for them?
