Hi, i am going away tommorow for a few days and wanted to buy an extra set of batterys for my cuboid 150w for backup.

I went to my only local vapour shop and they are closed for a few days.

Now ive just looked online at Tescos, Argos, and PCworld and can't find 18650 batterys on aby of their websites.

Anyone know obe type of shop i can get these from.

Really? I'm guessing you are in the UK.
Use google to find another local (wherever that might be) vape shop, or better still buy them online from a reputable vendor as you will probably get a better price. I recommend Batteries & Chargers

Got some thanks i had some lieing about that will do for backup. And yeah they are hard to get locally, i couldint get them anywhere offline.

Out of interest, what were the backup cells, and what wattage are you vaping at?

Hi i vape at 20 - 30 whats with my cuboid , some times to 50 for lung hits.

The backup batterys i used were some of a high powerd mountain bike torch.
They are not ideal as they arent the most expensive but they will do for the short time i be using them .

They are 2500mAh 18650 BatterieS by a company called sun speed.

These are the ones i use as my primary 2 x Samsung INR18650-25R 18650 UNPROTECTED 3.7V 2500 mAh / 10C High Drain Rechargeable Battery in Pure Power® Battery Case:Amazon.co.uk:Electronics

Vaping at 50 watts on a battery of unknown quality and specification, particularly one not intended for high amp draw application like vaping is highly ill-advised. Pull more amps than it can supply, and potentially you have a firework in your mouth.

Oh yes im aware of that, when i first got my cuboid i put a coil that was made for mac 30 whats had it on 70 and a flame shot in my mouth, haha so i searched it all about batterys etc i know that i only used these as a one of and on no mote than 20 whats.

Thanks tho , these things can be dangerous, ill be buying another set of samsungs on payday they are great so far.
