Hello, so I finished up the setup, but I have a problem with purchasing the batteries, most of the trusted sellers from Mooch's blog doesn't ship to my country, but fasttech could. Should I rely on them, and trust them?
For example, for this product https://www.fasttech(dot)com/products/6654301 or this https://www.fasttech(dom)com/produc...-authentic-samsung-inr-18650-25r-3-6v-2500mah Are they authentic?

Perhaps share what country you live in, maybe others will have a recommendations on trusted vendors that ship to your country.

I have bought batteries from fasttech several years ago and they were legit. They used to have the best prices when I started vaping. The link doesn’t work so I can’t see the specific batteries but as long as the amps meet your requirements I don’t see a problem getting your batteries from fasttech. They seem pretty good about selling authentic products and if they aren’t they make it known so I say go for it.

He used (dot) instead of (.). Are there rules against linking Fasttech?

Batteries are LG HB6 and Samsung 25R

I've ordered with fasttech some 20 times now. All "styled" or "clone" products were clearly advertised. The six items I bought from them that were labelled authentic really were (did the scratch check on four of those items before just trusting them). I'd feel secure in my choice of supplier. I like the batteries, but I think dual Sony VTC6's will give you both a lot more vaping time (a good 6000 mAh storage capacity Vs your LG's at 3000, Samsungs at 5000) and a higher advertised discharge rate. Other quality crowd pleasers are the Samsung 30q's and LG HG2's.

If you put your battery name into the search bar of this forum, you'll get some useful results, like Bench Test Results: Which lasts longer? VTC6, 30Q, or HG2?

If you order batteries from China, make sure to choose the correct shipping method.

I live in Morocco,
I'm using (dot) as I'm a new member, and i don't think I'm allowed to put links yet,
Thanks

Gotcha….I think you have passed your initiation. :thumb:

As for the proper batteries to use. First and foremost I would stick to name brands, Sony, LG and Samsung. The rest are re-wraps which may have a unknown origin and are usually overrated.

As for choosing your correct battery, given this is your first device and you are unknown to your preferred operating wattage's this may be a bit of a guesstimate. But understanding the limitations is still important. Below video by Mooch demonstrates these limitations with a regulated device and how you can choose a correct battery based on the wattage's you use. Also added a link of his recommended batteries.

Hello, I'm going with the Sony VTC6,
For the RDA, what do you recommend better, Drop Dead or Phobia V2? Any difference in Cloud production?
Thanks
Anything is better than the Drop Dead except the Dead Rabbit. I personally wouldn't use either of your choices.

Both these RDA’s will provide ample cloud production. Don’t own the Phobia 2 but do own the Drop Dead and it provides good flavour and more clouds than my old lungs can handle.

The DropDead has become my favorite.
Easy to use and build, very good and rich flavor with ample and very smooth airflow. Coils are 26*2/38 Kanthal A1 fused claptons with 2.5mm ID and 4.5 wraps at 0.17ohms wicked with Mujipads.
Works perfect for my 60-90W style of vaping and the huge juicewell makes it practically impossible to overdrip. Within reason of course.
