Battery question

[jward015]

Hey everyone, I have somewhat lost the hobby aspect of vaping so I've kind of been out of the loop for a while. I am currently just vaping to get my fix and enjoy my day a little more. Anyways, since I've been out of the loop for a while, I haven't kept up with the battery situation in the past year or so. I currently use a V3tronix Flip mod, with a quad coiled igo W4. I love my set up but my batteries are getting a little old and their life is getting shorter and shorter with every charge, not to mention the safety hazard it will become as well. I was wondering what kind of 18650 batteries are the best right now? I am going to purchase six or seven of them, so I don't want to be spending 20 bucks a battery on them. I am currently using AW IMR 2000mah batteries, but I know there is probably something better out there at this point since vaping seems to be advancing quicker than computers lol. Any advice or opinions will be appreciated! Thanks everyone

Aw is good, but Sony is even better

My Tesla VV/VW came with HGB 2200 been satisfied. After a serious day of vaping the 4.2 volt drops to about 3.5/3.6 they will vape good until 3.2 cut.

Sony VTC4 18650 or an MNKE. No battery with fire in the name.

I've seen deals on buying multiple Sony VTC5 18650. I got mine for about $10/ea locally

Sony VTC5's get good reviews.
But, I like my purple efests.

Sony vtc5 all the way man. i have 3 of them. great battery life and high amp rating. they are very dependable and work great. but if you plan on getting these make sure to get them from a reputable dealer. there is a lot of places (both online and B&M) that sell fakes so do some research and make sure to get authentics!!!

Sony vtc5. But make certain they are genuine Sony batteries by buying from a reputable dealer so that you don't get fakes. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/batteries-chargers/581174-how-identify-counterfeit-sony-batteries.html

I recommend getting them at RTD Vapor or Orbtronics.

Purple efest and sony vtc5 are your 2 best for mech, Panasonic and Samsung make some nice ones for lower rated regulated mods. Just be sure you are getting authentic as there are a lot of cheap knock offs.
