Which batteries to go for ?? (FT order)

[markus]

Anyone with more knowledge on batteries let me know which ones out of these would be the best to go for ?

Authentic Sony US18650VTC4 3.6V 2100mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery (2-Piece) Authentic Sony US18650VTC4 3.6V 2100mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery

Panasonic NCR18650B Protected Rechargeable 3400mAh 3.7V 18650 Lithium Batteries Panasonic NCR18650B Protected Rechargeable 3400mAh 3.7V 18650 Lithium Batteries
Are you just paying for the Sony brand?....I read somewhere that even Sonys we're Panasonics ??

Was gonna get some of these but theyre OOS!...:-(
Authentic Sony US18650VTC5 3.6V 2600mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Batteries (2-Pack) Authentic Sony US18650VTC5 3.6V 2600mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Batteries

IM also going to order these, If anyone has got any opinions on them I would appreciate it (or perhaps suggestions as to what else is a good buy?...I think I'm gonna spend about $100 !...(I can do it when the missus isnt looking)

Kayfun Lite Plus V2 Style Rebuildable Atomizer (4.5ml)

Kayfun Quartz Tank Kit

Was thinking about another RBA & was considering another kayfun or a Russian 91% ??

None from fasttech is probably what most people will say. If nothing else there are loads of problems with overseas battery shipping so they will take an age to arrive.

[markus]

Yeah did think about that, seen some people saying they can take 3 months!...

For the cost best to use someone like myepack . Ive used them a fair bit and no probs and 1-2 days delivery . A lot recomend torchy on ebay too but Ive never used him and I don`t have a link .

[Cousin Itt]

And for your atty question , Ive got 2 of the V2 kf lites from FT . love em I would sack the quartz tank though as they are only held on with oring pressure so not pocket friendly unless you want to risk a pocket full of juice.

[Perpetua]

I'd second the none option also . . . these Ebay chaps are also worth a look.

The VTC4s are hybrid IMR chemistry, as are the OOS VTC5s. If you're using mechs, these are the ones to go for as they are high current batteries, and will fire anything you throw at them with little concerns.

However, the saving isn't that great for batteries from china to have your order turned back after waiting months, I personally would just buy in the uk.

The kayfun is good - very well made, but on mine the juice channels in the base could be cut a little deeper for my tastes. I've heard reports that the quartz kit is not worth getting as it's a push fit and unreliable.

If you're looking for something else, I really like the heron but it's a bit big unless you have a mod that works with it as a hybrid.

Another vite for myepack bought my vtc5 from them great batteries.

Depends what you plan to use them in.

Protected batteries (like the Panasonics you listed) are considerably bigger than unprotected batteries like the VTC4's & VTC5's, they might be too big for your mod or even your charger.

I like the VTC4's / VTC5's, they have a good amp limit, last well & will fire pretty much anything safely.

Also if you buy from torchy through UKV as a UKV member it's cheaper than his Ebay prices.

Thanks Cousin Itt....didnt know that about the quartz tank :-( bugger I prefer the quartz tanks too :-(, but I do carry mine in my pocket so I dont wanna look like ive peed meself oneday

Thanks for the myepack link, they arent far off what youd pat from FT & i could do with them now rather than 3 months down the line, would you say the purple Efest's are as good as the VTC5's ?

[markus]

LMAO....pressed enter & 6 more replies....shows how long it takes me to type a reply

At the moment ive got an IPV2 so thats what id be using the batteries in, Im just about to advertise the mech mod in the classified section.

I was thinking of ecolux Perpetua but most of the ones I was thinking of buying he's OOS :-(....I think he's on holiday too :-(

I wouldn't order anything electrical from China, don't trust their QA. Especially not batteries. I did buy a Hana Modz clone from FT, but it is under constant surveillance in operation, to the extent I hardly use the thing anymore, preferring Western gear like my Provari and Atmizoo Lab. All my batteries are sourced from the UK. Torchy is the only vendor I know of that actually tests every battery before it's sold.

Thanks for the heads-up, Have ditched the batteries & quartz tank....just got the lonely Kayfun in the basket now & an itchey mouse finger wonderng what else I can buy ...lol
