How about these batteries?

[-V-]

Anyone used these ones before?

Good price but are they any good?

Any batteries you get with those starter kits are likely to be a bit crap, and the chargers aren't what I'd use for sure. Buy the body on its own from either Zainy or Min, then source batteries and charger from somewhere else - too much risk involved with cells like this to be messing about, I think.

I don't trust the no-name batteries unless they're from a trusted source, like Torchy, etc.
Too much cheap crap on the market to be taking chances with a volatile chemistry like lithium.

Nothing wrong with those. I had one until recently, sold it with a mod.

What would you be using it/them in?

They would be fine in the Vamo then. I did use the one I had in my Vamo a few times and it was spot on, lasted a day and a bit and my Vamo is always in my gob so it was well tested.

You might consider the Panasonic CGR18650CH 10A discharge though as they are excellent batteries.

Thanks for the link and code, I guess they will work in the Vamo just fine, and last a day or so vape time?

Depends how much you vape, watts/voltage and ohms but when I had a Vamo in December I had those batteries and they were faultless, they too lasted a day and a bit. At that time I had my Vamo set to 8 watts generally using a vivi nova with a 2ohm coil and again it was in my moosh all day long lol.

If money is no object then robby bought some of these I think it was those anyway which last him 2 days if I remember correctly.

Yes I got some of those before, thanks to robby, but I am looking for a cheaper option as it's for a kit I will be selling.
Cheaper option BUT still good safe batteries, I would never sell a kit with cheap crap dangerous batteries, which is why I started this Thread to get feedback.
Looks like those grey Panasonic ones are they way to go

Here's one robby would like:

Why not sell the kit without batteries?  Many people have their own battery collections

Or a 'Buy Now' for 11.99 for 2

For a cheap good quality IMR, I'd say these were good value for money:

Very reliable vendor and free postage.
