batteries

[aaront903]

Was just wondering on where you all get your batteries from? Im after some vtc 4s or something similar and wondered if there was a good trusted place to get them from, thanks all

Just ordered some from here not the cheapest but reliable vendor and fast delivery aaront903

Its all confusing me, I dont understand what is safe and what amp etc, completely lost tbh

Tell us what you want the batteries for and I'm sure you will get all the recomendations you need.

Torchythebatteryboy is where I buy my batteries now, when you buy from him you know you get the genuine item and his prices are very competative.

It will be for a vapor flask or a vapour shark, general use but night time sub ohming lol

If you go with torchy the purple efest high drain IMR's are good I'd go for flat top 30/32/35A, Samsung 25R's are also good from another source.

I'm quite cost conscious so these would be my choice, there are loads others out there.

Thank you archiecat, is there a idiots guide to batteries? Lol

[archiecat]

There's a mountain of stuff out there if you google it, like this www.misthub.com/blog/tutorial-best-batteries-for-mods-vaping-safety/ A very brief look and it looks informative, I'm to lazy to read it!

[Ripshod]

Be careful when googling. There's a lot of bad results turning up - 'apparently good' information from bad vendors.

Have a good look around this very forum. Lots of good advice on good batteries and good vendors. Use the search function to find anything '18650' 

The blog linked above by archiecat would be a good start though  thumb up

ecoluxshop on ebay and am sure many will agree also

Seriously??

First (LGDBM11865) - 6Amps <<<<<<<<<<<Unprotected ICR!!
Second (Samsung INR18650-30Q) - 15Amps
Third (LGDBHE41865) - 20Amps
Fourth - (LGDAHD21865) - 20Amps <<<<<<<<<<<Unprotected ICR!!
Fifth - (LGDAHB61865) - NOT RECOGNISED!!

The diamond in the rough here is the LG HE4. At 20Amps and being safer chemistry this is the only one of the five I'd recommend anyone uses. The others are good for torches though

Vape safe!!


The whole survey is sponsored (65%-ish) by batterybro. com employees. Who ironically claim to stock the Sony VTC5. Avoid like a rash!!!!
