Batteries for Smok R200

[Vaping2Live]

Ordered my first replaceable battery mod. Always used iTaste MVP's and only vape 7.5 - 8watts. I want to order batteries but not sure what to order. I will get a Nitecore charger, would like to order 4 batteries to start.

I want the safest batteries, highest MAH possible. Not really concerned with cost.

Thanks!

Should have mentioned, I only use 1.8ohm coils. No plans to go lower or vape at higher wattage.

I would recommend either the Samsung 30Q (pink) or LG HG2 (brown)

both rated at 20A CDR and 3000mah capacity (30Q is officially 15A but Mooch's rest reveals a true 20A CDR).

My fav 18650 batteries in order are
1. LG HG2
2. Samsung 30Q
3. Samsung 25R / Sony VTC 5

Thank you @rice721, I was looking at the Samsung 30Q and was confused / concerned about the 15A rating. As I saw in the specs for the R200 - 20A or better is required. I guess I will go with the LG HG2's, they seem to be very popular.

Thanks again!!

Yes they are officially rated at 15A but if you travel to the Battery / Charger subsection (in VV/VW forum) you will see Mooch did a testing that compared the 30Q to the HG2s and they performed essentially the same.

You can't go wrong with HG2s, however, there has been reports of them being counterfeited. Just make sure you trust your vendor and when in doubt post in the battery/charger subsection.

I use the LG HG2 3000mAh 20A batteries in my RX200.

I get about two days per charge vaping around 30 watts on the RX200, but I'm a chain vaper.

The Samsung 30Q 3000mAH and "new" AW 3000mAh 20A batteries are essentially the same batteries sold by different manufacturers.
