You can use the battery of your choice and some of Aspire's batteries are good. You really just need to tailor your vaping style to the batteries you get. You also want to make sure you are buying from reputable vendors (you can also find this information on Mooch's chart which unfortunately I am also terrible at linking. Someone will be along shortly I am fairly sure.

Hi virginiagardenia. Welcome to the ECF.
The short Answer is Yes n' No and No. Yes you can use Other batteries but No some are Not Recommended. Aspire Batteries are OK. But you don't have to use them.
The Link that somecomputerguy link to is a Great Source. Also, where you Buy your Batteries is Very Important Also. Because there are a Ton of Knock-Offs and Re-Wrapped Batteries out there.
Not sure where you are Located? But here is a List of Reputable Battery Sellers...
Some Good Vendors
18650.uk
18650batterystore.com
akkuteile.de
batterybro.com
ecoluxshopdirect.co.uk
fogstar.co.uk
illumn.com
imrbatteries.com
liionwholesale.com
orbtronic.com
rtdvapor.com
As well as the link to Mooch up above what you're going to be looking for is called a flat top battery. I usually use a place called imrbatteries or 18 650 battery store but there are other legitimate places. In the US you're not going to want to go to a place like eBay or even Amazon for Batteries because you need it to be a decent battery and not something that says it's a Sony battery but really isn't and is actually meant for things that require a lot less power than a mod. I'm not a battery expert by any stretch of the imagination but before you make a purchase you should probably share a link on the site this forum and get people's opinion on whether or not that's a good choice and you should find out very quickly whether it's okay or not

Why leave out http://www.nkon.nl? They are a much more popular source within the EU when compared to http://www.akkuteile.de
It appears @Mooch edited out that one by accident on his blog, see the list at the bottom of his blog post:
Mooch's blog | E-Cigarette Forum
If you read the description of any one of Mooch's videos on his personal YouTube channel, you'll see NKON is still on the list. Maybe he is getting too old for this?

There are better batteries than Aspire, and they'll work fine in your mod.
Here's a good introduction and guide to selecting a battery for vaping:
(9) Battery Basics for Mods; the Ultimate Battery Guide | E-Cigarette Forum
18650 batteries have a rating called CDR (continuous discharge rating). It's listed in amps, so it'll be something like "600 mA" or "20 A". Note that many manufacturers and sellers lie about CDR, so it's best to check your battery model's CDR somewhere neutral like Mooch's site, which others have linked to.
A battery's CDR will determine what wattage you can vape at with relative safety. The 'rule of thumb' calculation is:
3 x CDR x the number of batteries in your mod = maximum wattage to use
So, for a 20 A battery in a one-battery mod:
3 x 20 x 1 = 60 w
For 15 A batteries in a two-battery mod:
3 x 15 x 2 = 90 w
A 600 mA battery in a one-battery mod:
3 x 0.6 x 1 = 1.8 w - In other words, this isn't a battery you'd ever want to use for vaping.
Good luck, and if you have any more questions, always feel free to ask.
