I wouldn't buy it unless you can verify that it is an IMR chemistry battery.

You want a high drain, 10 amp minimum, IMR or hybrid chemistry battery.

Two of the best you can buy are the LG 18650HE2 or the Samsung INR 18650-25R.

Both are $8, sourced from Illumination Supply

If this is the battery you have found,

Don't bother.

These would work well and are cheaper:
18650 LG 18650HE2 2500mAh High Discharge Flat Top - Batteries, Chargers, and PowerPax Carriers

18650 Samsung INR18650-25R 2500mAh High Discharge Flat Top

My bet is that the Nuon is a protected ICR chemistry battery that is not suitable for your purpose. More of a flashlight battery not a PV battery.

That's probably a rewrapped Samsung icr18650 26F. It would "probably" work in a Vamo because at one time the samsung battery was sometimes included in a Vamo kit. But there are far BETTER batteries for you to purchase than that one.

For best performance in your Vamo, you'll want to get an IMR battery. Safer chemistry, high drain for best performance. ICR batteries have fallen out of favor in the e-cig community and are now considered obsolete because of a nasty tendency to vent flames and explode when they fail.

Battery Basics for Mods: IMR or Protected

Any of the 10 amp 18650 batteries in the above list will be great performers in your Vamo.
