I'm on my cellphone, but someone will be along with the recommended battery chart by Mooch, our resident battery expert.

The Panasonic's won't work for vaping. Here's Mooch's latest recommended list. Any battery on there that tests out at 20A should be more than sufficient for you.
Hi, looking for much capacity 18650 for vaping at 30-45W. I was thinking about Samsung 35E, panasonic 3300mah, and panasonic 3500mah. But you can recommend me other
For 45watts you need at least 15 -16amps on a single battery mod, the Panasonics will not work for that. Highest capacity and best amp discharge for your needs are these 3
Samsung 30Q (3000mah 20amp CDR)
Sony VTC6 (3000mah 19amp CDR)
LG HG2 (3000mah 18amp CDR)
^What they said.
After doing quite a bit of reading, I settled on the Samsung 30Q for all of my regulated mods. The Sony VTC6 and LG HG2 are equally as good from all I've seen, but the 30Q's were less expensive.

Samsung 30Q for the win
As far as the 35E, Mooch didnt rate it too well.....

Thanks for the updated chart Eskie
I'm sure I'll spot the next list of Mooch six months after he releases it. A new one might even have the 20700s on it, if only there was more than one mod that used them.
Samsung 30qs are my favourite battery, good choice & the fact they are cheaper is awesome! I vape 15 watts on a single cell & get from morning til about 7pm in evening.
I think the wattage your vaping should still fine you good battery life though

yeah, I was drooling over that 4000 mah on those until I noticed oops, that's a fat one there, haha
I recently used a 20700 battery in a mech & got nearly a full day. I believe they have started making regulated mods as well though like the ijoy captain that take them. I just hope they don't take over & stop 18650s from being available.
so if I understand this correctly then the LG HD2 would be the batteries I would want for a Joyetech eVic Primo 2.0?
It would depend on how you vape. The Samsung 30Q, LG HG2 and Sony VTC 6 are probably the most popular batteries as they have the highest capacity of batteries suitable for vaping, but you do need to limit yourself to around 100 - 110 W with a dual battery mod. If you sometimes go up to 140 W or so, then the LG HD2 would work for you as would the Sony VTC5A (note the 'A' - without it it's a different battery). If you want to go to 170 W you'll need to look at the 30 A batteries, and if you want to go over that you'll need to get a 3 or 4 battery mod because there aren't any 18650s that can safely supply that much power.
Here's an explanation of how to calculate the CDR you'll need for a given wattage:

See now that is the part that has me a bit confused Joyetech says to use 25A batteries and the mod is rated at 228 W not that I think I will go that high I mean, right now I use an Eleaf Ijust 2 and if I use the tank from that one the eVic then I am looking at around 80 W but the kit that is coming has the ProCore Aries which tops out at 130W. I don't see any day I would try and go over that but what if I do want to? I don't want my mod to go boom I have enough metal in my body as is. So much simpler when I smoked got zippo all good but thanks for helping to clear some of this up.
