I know it takes a 18650 but there seem to be different ones. Do the MAH figures make any difference?

I use the Samsungs that phtumshk linked to smokin100516, I also use LG HE2 and VTC4. All great batteries I use them in my Cloupor Mini 30w, Smowell DVP-50 (50w) and Kbox Mini.

mAh is milliamp hours so yes the higher the number the longer the battery will last between charges, the other figure to take into account is the amp discharge rating, that's the number you want to look at for safety reasons, pushing a battery beyond it's discharge rating will cause it to malfunction and vent. The two numbers are related in that higher discharge ratings mean lower mAh ratings and vice versa. The Samsung 25r's phtumshk posted a link to are a good compromise between the two, you get decent mAh and a discharge rating that will be perfectly safe with anything you chuck on that mod so you get a good balance of charge life cycle and safety. There are people who could give you more detailed explanations i really only know the basics but those Samsungs would be fine and they are a good price too.

Remember safety first, so as long you know that I'm happy. But yes get some Samsung 25r you can't really beat the price for what they are . You really need to watch out with batteries as companies are stating the pulse rating as the continuous so as long as you keep to that list you will be fine.
