Where to buy 18650 batteries in UK?

[chykensa]

Now this might shock all of you seasoned vapers, but I use a great vendor on eBay called Torchy, good prices and fairly quick delivery. I can also vouch for Ecolux (Norb) who offers a good selection and prices to match.
There are other good vendors around like Boldvape who do good quality batteries at a good price.

Torchy or Ecolux........just in case the message hasn't sunk in.....

I've used both and most importantly they can be trusted to give you decent batteries.

Batteries aren't expensive, don't go cheap for the sake of a few quid off.

+ 1 million for Torchy the battery boy. Ive used him for years.

Who is this Torchy bloke?

I use Ecolux, who is apparently called Norb.

(Dave... you met the famous Torchy at Vapefest and bought some batteries off him.. )

Oh... that Torchy!

N'ah... still don't remember. What the *** was I vaping?

Okay I got some batteries , got my mod boxes and a charger.

This is the charger I've got: www.gearbest.com/chargers-batteries/pp_94491.html

It came with a USB cable which seems to be working (taking ages to charge these batteries lol) but I'm wondering is it okay to use a wall plug with it....I'm not sure which though, the old e-cig one or a mobile phone one...will any be okay?

I would not like to use that charger TBH for any serious charging or leave it unattended for any length of time. Its good for using say in work or the car via USB. Yes you can use a USB wall charger.

Its only 0.5amp so its going to be very slow.

www.gearbest.com/chargers-batteries/pp_56674.html would be better and provide info on the state of the battery.

For me, the most important part of any setup is the power source and its reliability.

[amygx]

I never leave any type of charger unattended, I'm a safety freak and everything (besides the fridge) gets turned off when I leave the house.

I did get the charger from torchy if that helps lol ... It's a nice little temporary charger and charged both my new 18650 2500mah batteries in 4 hours, be faster if I was only charging 1 which I probably will be doing from now on seen as they're both charged.
