Hi all my batteries seem to be at the end of their life so I'm looking for some new 18650's. I've been using samsung 30q's up to now in a regulated mod but don't mind suggestions of other batteries.
I'm looking for 4 batteries and would like good value from a UK seller but I do know batteries shouldn't be scrimped on.
Thanks Jay

I've been looking on eBay and some of the prices seem a little too good to be true, which makes me wary.

www.fogstar.co.uk/collections/batteries/products/molicel-p26aI haven't used these as I've still got some 25R that are a few months old on the go, but when I next need batteries... Mooch liked 'em, folk on some of the FB vape groups rave about them and the manufacturer are cool with their use for vaping, unlike everyone else. Fogstar I have used in the past and would be more than happy to recommend. There will more than likely be a discount code if you can wait until Friday to order.

Stay away from eBay for batteries and use a trusted supplier like Fogstar

Fogstar or 18650.co.uk Fogstar discount code UKVD15 will give you 15% off any day of the week. 18650.co.uk had a 20% discount code over the bank holiday weekend, I got 8 x 25r's for £24:40 delivered.

Those molycell ones look good but are you a high power vaper that needs the higher amps.
Going on the linked Fogstar prices (without using a discount code) you can get 3 Samsung 25R's cheaper than 2 molycell's
Just saying. Oh and another vote for Fogstar or 18650.co.uk. Both good and both have regular discount codes.

50-80w max i vape at thats why ive stuck with 30Q for ages but used to use 25R at the begining. the molicel seem to last longer between charges. they are the only battery that are quoted for being for vapes. none of the others be it samsung,sony,lg state that.

Though I've had 30q batteries from ebay which were fine, it's not worth taking a chance for a couple of quid. Fogstar are quick.

fogstar for me too molicels all the way for me after using 25r's for a few years these are much better, and last. Also free torch on one order and free zip up cases on another. Fast delivery as well as the discount codes make buying from fogstar a bargain now my preferred stockist for batteries

I've a few 18650s that all calling for retirement. I usually use Torchy... but thought I'd give Fogstar a try, for a change. .... order placed for four 30Q's. Thanks for the discount code striker42 [ETA] (Always had good service & products from Torchy.... just trying Fogstar)
