Illumination supply (illumn.com) has decent prices and a good reputation. Other trusted battery vendors are Orbtronics (.com) and RTD Vapor (.com). Avoid buying batteries from eBay or Amazon, as it's all to easy for a shady vendor to slap a different-colored wrap on a low-quality cell and call it whatever they want. It doesn't cost that much more to purchase from a reputable dealer, and for the extra cost you are buying yourself reliability and peace of mind.

While the 20A workhorse Samsung 25R is only $5, if you're not pushing your batteries hard, it might be worth the small extra cost for some LG HG2s for their greater mAh capacity.

For chargers, like batteries, play it safe... Efest (yes, their chargers are top shelf), XTAR, or Nitecore.
2 bay if you're not blowing through batteries every day, or a 4 bay if you prefer.

The advice about avoiding eBay, Amazon etc. for batteries is sound. Again... play it safe.
I've never tried it for batts and chargers, but VapeCrawler is a pretty damn good price comparison search tool.

Otherwise... LiIonWholesale, Illumn.com, a couple more that regulars trust, as mentioned.

Vape safe.

Yes i was accually thinking of those lg he2's but didnt they sort of recently come out? I know lg is a great company but i feel like id rather wait too see if anything goes wrong with those batteries also i am most likely going too order from illumination supply qhat do you think is the best brand for a basic two 18650 charger

i use the lg hg2's in my ipv 3li at 100+ watts all day and they have been holding out for over 2 months so far

The HG2s (not hE) have been out for several months, at least. Well tested, highly regarded.

Any of the 3 makes I listed will do for a 2 bay charger.

I have both 2 and 4 bay Efests.
The only reason I prefer the 4 bay Efest is that it has a 4A charge capacity so I can do 4x1A.
The other two brands will not.
