Battery Purchase help..... Please

[killatoyota4569]

Hey guys whats up. Im looking to get a Box mod, (first box mod setup) I know they need 18650 batteries 2 of them. Box mod is a sigelei 100w plus. Some of my friends say to get the Sony VTC5 18650 IS there another option? Or are these the best batteries you can buy? Also if these are what to get does anyone know a Reputable place to buy Authentic ones? Please let me know thank you

There are some others. Just don't trust any brand with fire in the name or an Efest battery. They exaggerate the specs on the batteries. You need one that will do at least 20 amps continuous. The VTC 5 has been up to now the best one for that job. Wish I could tell you where to go to get the Sony or one of the others. I'm (knock on wood) fat on batteries. LOL so have not looked in a while. I just did the calculations and a 20 amp continuous use battery is just with in the limits of a 100 watt mod.

I get all my batts from RTD Vapor. You will never have a problem with Randy. Tried and true for as long as I"ve been on this board.
