MNKE IMR 18650 will do you right. 30 amp continuous draw limit will keep you well within safe limits on pretty much any build. For example, a 0.2 ohm build will draw 21 amps on a full battery and still be safe, bit I would never make a 0.2 ohm build to begin with!

What do you recommend to charge it?
Care to post a link?
I dont want to blow money on the wrong stuff! *again*

I charge mine with a nitecore intellicharger i2. I got the charger and a 2 pack of the batteries at vaporbank.com, a nearby B&M that I trust. The charger and the batteries work great!

Hey guys!
I ordered my new HCigar Nemesis Mod Clone from VapeRoyalty with a new Patriot RDA.

I plan on running at lowest .4ohms (rarely) but sticking to .5-.8 ohms.

What battery should I get?

Im looking for something that is safe, low cost, and reliable at those ohm settings.

Thanks!
If your mod will accept a FLAT-TOP battery.....the Sony VTC4 30A is a good bet.....and the Intellicharger i2 is what I use with my AW IMR 18650 1600's (button-top)....this particular AW is rated at 24A - pushing a bit below .5 ohm, but I run around 1.0-1.2 so the 24A limit (for ME) is actually a little overkill.....but BETTER SAFE----THAN SORRY!!:D
Happy (vaping) Trails!

When you look at the nitecore charger and you see the i4 you will want it, but unless you only charge 1-2 at a time, it will take forever. The mA output to each battery gets reduced when charging in parallel. Basically means less batteries will give you a faster charge. My friend put 3 MNKE's, and the Panasonic 18650B 3400mah on his i4 all at once and it took close to 14 hours to get the 3 MNKE's done. He took them off and the darn 3400mah took another 6 hours. I don't have that kind of patience so would never run more than 2 on a charger at once.
