Batteries

[Dave]

Eyup,

I need to buy new 18650 batteries and charger....

Have you guys got any reccomendations? and some links would be good!

Cheers Dave

avoid anything with " fire" in its name! And always buy the best you can afford. efest are a mid range brand and are reasonably priced and reliable, the unprotected imr ( red) will suffice, the purple for sub ohm.

for chargers, you can't go wrong with nitecore or xtar.

sorry I can't link as I'm on my phone but someone will be along with suggestions

What type of mod and atty are you using Dave, with mech mods with rebuildable atties you need to be aware of a few extra things to stay safe.

Sony vtc4s are my go to batteries if i want them to do any labour.

You can use cheaper 18650s depending on what you want them to do.

This is my battery source

What kinda wattage do you normally use them at?

For me I'd go for the vtc4s.

For the IPV2: Sony VTC4 IMO as you need a high drain IMR and these are rated at 30 A continuous or 60 A pulse/burst to provide the power quickly enough, VTC5s are impossible to get at the moment.

For the Vamo: 2900 mAh Panasonics are great as the Vamo doesn't use as much power, the VTCs will be fine with less vape time.

Torchy does both and has Torchy 30 A which re-branded VTC4 for less, he is big_f_d_d on ebay or see this thread on UKV for even cheaper prices,
Ecoluxshop on eBay and myEpack are good to.

£11.99 for a pair from torchy!

[Dave]

Nice one , thats better I'm searching ebay for bike spares so put it in the search engine and they were returning 150 quid?

Can you send me a link please kidda and I'll have a couple at that price

[Tom]

to get them for £11.99 you have to pm torchy on UKV and send payment buy paypal friends & family (no buyer protection but torch is well respected and trustworthy).

or heres his ebay account
www.ebay.co.uk/usr/big_f_d_d

personally id go for the pm for better prices, plus he's a super friendly and helpful bloke

[VapingBad]

See the thread I linked to in post 6 to contact torchy, you don't have to join that forum or PM to get those prices.

I worded that badly.

I mean you have to msg him or just do the paypal payment with your order.

Think I'm starting to be more nuisance than help xD

That's just a holding price, means they are out of stock, they do that to hold on to their rating, and when they get them back in stock they put the correct price back on.
