Buying Batteries Help!

So, I know that the Sony VTC batteries were the like "Go-to" battery. But they are being faked a lot and are hard to come by some authentic ones.

So whats the next best option?

I have a few different batteries and I definitely can tell the difference in the quality of the hit, and the life of the battery.

I have a red IMR 2000 mAh 18650 and it hits the worst out of all of my batteries.

Then I have a blue samsung battery (Can't really read the writing) but I can see it says 25r on it. This one hits decent.

Then I have a green 2600 mAh battery. Its a beast. Hits like a champ and lasts long. I would like to find a similar battery to this one. Im guessing this is the Sony VTC 5.

I really want to find something that is just as good as the Green one.

Does anyone know where to find these or a similar battery that is 2600mAh 30 amp? If so, are there any deals going on online where I could get a good price? Id like to order some new batteries.

Thanks for the help all!


Edit. One more question. Anyone know the difference between the Amps on each of the batteries? Just from guessing id say the red is 20 amps, blue is 25, and the green is 30? Does that sound right?  

I have spent nothing on vaping in the last 7 months but now I am thinking about buyin a spare to spare for my Vamo 5 (to keep one at home and one at work). I am very satisfied with my Vamo – it worked perfectly for 8 months. I use it with 18360 battery, so it is not too long, fits perfectly in hand and after continuous use for 8 months it is still as good as a new one. But I do know it will go bad sooner or later, I have to be prepared. I was thinking about buying just another Vamo (may be Vamo 7), but then wondered if I would like to try a box mod. What if I would like it? And if not, I do need one more spare anyway.

So far I am thinking about Cloupor Mini 30W.
Authentic Cloupor Mini 30W Variable Wattage / Voltage VW VV APV Box Mod

Would you recommend it? Is it comfortable enough? Is it too small (to fit in hand)? Comfort and reasonable longevity are the most important thing for me. For example, I have found in Cloupor description “Magnet back cover, no need to use screwdriver, more”. It is very important for me; I could not imagine myself walking around with a screwdriver in case I have to replace a battery. What other mods (if any) should I consider? I do not need more than 30W, please do not advise me on more powerful mods unless they have some extremely useful features beyond their power. And I do not want to spend more money than necessary for a spare.

But maybe I will be still buying a new Vamo 7. Do somebody have hands on experience with this one?  

Hey guys if i was to use the cloupor mini 30 watt regulated device with an efest imr 18650 35a
battery am i safe? will the cloupor see any overheating of the battery if it were to happen? or will it see if the ohms are too low? the lowest ohms i plan on using is .8 possibly .6 but i just wanted to know how safe is this device? also i am aware of the recall on this i will be doing the "too hot" test on it. thanks for your replys!  

Just sat down this morning and had a quick look at where all my money's been going for the past few months.
Previously, I had smoking down to ~5 a day. Used to get them all from abroad, so roughly £5 for 20 at most. 40/week so £10/week and £520 in a year.

My current ecig spend:
£30 for first ecig
£25 for a Vision Spinner Battery
£15 for replacement tanks
£40 replacement coils (standard coils, then unicoils)
£100+ - Totally Wicked liquids
£50 - iStick
£25 - Subtank mini
£70 - mixing kit and concentrates
£50 - e-sheesha + cartomisers
£50 - premium liquids

£455+ (and that's just about 6 months, started in October)

I know that most if it was invested in the kit, and now that I have my ideal setup I hopefully won't be making those expensive purchases anymore on tanks and batteries. The DIY kit has enough to keep me going, now it's just buying concentrates that I need for recipes. I would have saved a lot more if I'd got the quality kit early on, but at the time I was new to it and wasn't sure if it's something I'd pursue.

It's probably not even that much in comparison what others spend, but I still feel like I've spent way more money than I should have.
Anyone in the same boat?  

Hi.

I need some new batteries for my Aspire Tigon Tank. It has to be much like the Tigon battery.

Not big batteries and not small, cause i don't like heavey batteries, and it should give lots of vapour. It should be the cylinder shaped batteries.

Whats the watts on the Tigon? Is it 40? It should be the same.

And else should you notice? Do you also need to notice volt? Is does'nt need to be 1800 mah, but it should be high. Maybe least 1300.

And of course 510 connection.

Please name som models, that fit my description.

What about: Vision Spinner 2, Innokin Endura T18, Joyetech Ecxeed D19, Kangertech EVOD VV?  

I ordered a Cloupor Mini a good month ago. Hadn't heard much about Gearbest, but the price was right so I figured I'd give it a shot. Tracking was horrible. The website, once I figured out where it was, gave updates in a version of English I'm not familiar with, total gibberish. Apparently my vapemail arrived this Monday, but they require signature and the postman left no notice (they claim they did, but they didn't ). Of course I'm never home when the mail gets delivered. I was finally able to track down where my package is and will be picking it up tomorrow. If it's a legit unit I will have saved half the retail price in America, so I guess that's good, but still not worth the hassle. China -> US via Amsterdam, WUT???

O/T: The website seems to be much more responsive after the switch to XenForo. Good job!  

anything out there with a decent price, other than the isticks? just looking to see whats out there. i really like the ipv2 mini but i wish it had an internal battery  

So I'm trying to get my mom into vaping in order to help her cut back on her smoking, since my fiance hates having her smelling like smoke when she comes to visit our baby girl, as the smell transfers to our daughter after my mom holds her. So, I've had her try my gear: my XPro M80 Plus, my Vision Spinner II, and my Ego batteries, explained some of the differences to her like battery life, power regulation, safety, etc. Anyway, I went ahead and ordered her a Smowell DVP 50 to try out, and I'm going to be getting her a Nautilus, either the full-size or the mini, depending on which one she prefers. My question is, what kind of battery should I get for her to put in it? I know she's not going to be sub-ohming anytime soon, so I was thinking something with a high mAh rating would be good, like a Panasonic NCR18650PF, Samsung 25R, or LG HE2/4. Would one of those be acceptable?  

Hey guys,

So today I took my batteries out of my external nitecore charger and noticed some small chips in the wrapping. Please see the photo above.

Are these batteries still safe to use? Or should they be replaced?  

I bought my Sigelei 100w Plus a few days back and ordered 2 Sony VTC4's on my same order (I'm confident they're legitimate, I've bought some before) to be able to marry them together and use them with my Sigelei. Upon receiving the batteries, I labelled one A, and one B and put them into my charger at the same time (charger was off, put both in and turned it on), one battery is slightly more charged than the other (it's 2/3 bars, while the other is still 1/3). I'm a bit worried about using married batteries, I understand rotating A and B in my Sigelei and charger but will they be the same charge when they're done? They're new batteries and they both went on at the same time yet one of them is charging a little bit faster.

When both of the batteries are fully charged, will they be safe to use and cycle accordingly? I heard about if one battery has even a tiny bit less, the batteries will take an uneven load and it will make it risky. How do I ensure that these batteries remain married?
