Best 18650 battery?

[spike74656]

Firstly sorry if there is already a thread for this somewhere, had a quick look and couldnt find anything.

Have finally decided to upgrade and get a Lavatube now I need some spare 18650s.

In a rush and over exited i ordered this www.amazon.co.uk/CHARGER-18650-3000mAh-Rechargeable-Battery/dp/B0080A37BG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1350594297&sr=8-2

Now I am wondering if it will even be safe to use these ones.

So I thought i would ask the experienced. What are the best 18650 batteries and where are the best places to buy them?

AW's all the way for me Spike . . .

www.vapistsvapourizers.co.uk/AW_Batteries/p1436124_6619140.aspx

Vape Escape, Safer Cigs & AT1, also sell them.

I'll pop your thread on the Shopping Board where you're likely to get more recommendations . . .

These are cheap and they're good - www.bestvaping.net/efest-imr-18650-2000mah-37v-limn-battery-with-flat-top-ecigs-and-mods-battery-2pcs-p-684.html

Will do for lavatubes etc. Don't know what their vaping kit is like but still . Did get a pair from Best in One before but that site has gone done

Don't have a clue about these TBH, but if they're OK for a LT, they'll be a good buy. Need an expert opinion though. Anyone?

Im with Perpy on this one AW's all the way
they are tried and trusted so you know what you are getting
the vendors she has recommended are authorised resellers too so no chance of getting dodgy dangerous clone crap

So what happens if inferior batteries are used ?

I always think it is just not worth it balllsy, safety is the first thing, battery life is another.
I am not the brightest on batteries, so I only buy the recommended ones.

Your quite right Sandra, but was just wondering if it was actually a safety thing or a premature battery failure issue with the cheaper or copied batteries.

Loving your avatar by the way, Ballsy.

I bought these as well they seem ok and it says on the site they are for Lavatubes so I also wait for an answer with trepidation
