Firstly sorry if there is already a thread for this somewhere, had a quick look and couldnt find anything.

Have finally decided to upgrade and get a Lavatube now I need some spare 18650s.

In a rush and over exited i ordered this www.amazon.co.uk/CHARGER-18650-3000mAh-Rechargeable-Battery/dp/B0080A37BG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1350594297&sr=8-2

Now I am wondering if it will even be safe to use these ones.

So I thought i would ask the experienced. What are the best 18650 batteries and where are the best places to buy them?

Made a basic Cherry mix for a friend in work. 18mg 60/40 PG/VG.

He was using it in an old style Carto that fits to a battery that looks like a normal cig.

Next day he complained that the juice was to thin and it leaked. Im sure back in the day when i still used them i used to fill with PG.

Is this leaking a known issue or was he just being a noob and overfilling?

Some feedback now ive actually used the thing.

Great for a quick taste of a different flavour. No waste when just using a couple of drops ata a time.

The top thread is nice and easy to unscrew and the bottom one is quite tough. think this is by design as you constantly need to unscrew top one but only need to change the bottom. Quick resistance check tells me it comes pre installed with a 3 Ohm coil, think i will lower that a bit when i change it. Will prob also give it a bbit more wick.

Genral vaping is a little odd at first. It has the air intake to the side positioned a little lower than the coil so you get alot of air with each vape. takes a while to get used to taking slow steady puffs. At first you may well make yourself cough coz its so easy to breathe in.

Havent changed the coul yet but will post again when i have to let you know how easy it is and what i think about the quality of the small screws and threads.

Also I think I am leaning towards something with a fibreglass wick. Does anywhere actually have the Penelope in stock?

Have been Vaping for a while now just using the standard Ego and CE4/ CE5s

I am getting to the point where I am thinking about splashing out on one of the high end rebuildables but there are so many out there.

Have heard alot about the Penelope but is that just because its been about for longer than the others?

Was hoping to get some advise from the people who have been around for a while and may have a couple of different rebuildables to compare.

To clarify my previous post, Resistance does play a part along with length/type of wire but the amps are the easiest way to look at the heat generated.
