Battery recommendations

[DrMoustachio]

Hello everyone

I have been vaping for a while and I'm switching to mechanical mods. I aim to go deeper in the future with vaping and sub ohming. So far the equipment I have is sentinel mechanical mod and I have ordered a kangar aero tank, a1 kanthal wire, replacement coil, ohm meter, nitecore intelliccharger. I already have a decent supply of juice to last a while as vaping is banned here.

I had to get most of the materials via a friend who is coming back from UK later in may.

Now the only thing left to order is the batteries and I have no idea which ones to go for. I want to if possible order via amazon as I will get the charger from there and delivery is super fast as I use borderlinx to forward ship the materials here.

Any good recommendations for batteries to order would be immensely helpful. I have been looking at the 18650 ones but not sure which are good.

I have read all the warnings with sub ohming and what comes with it and am fully prepared for it.

Thanks

Have your friend buy those batteries local from a shop for you, last choice order from fasttech.

My friend left UK already so no chance from there. I'll see my options first before fasttech. I do not trust my local mail. They take ages which is why I resort to forwarding services. It would be redundant to order from Asia to USA then to Bahrain. There is no borderlinx mailbox in Asia and aramex don't ship batteries

+1 for the Sony VTC 4s...You can get them from non-vaping sites as well...usually ones that sell high power flashlights.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look about but most websites are vaping websites. I Want to remove any link to vaping with them.. plus I want to order the charger with them so it will ship in one package. Otherwise I'll have to pay twice for each package to deliver and each one will cost me at least 15 to 20 USD minimum.

You have already had some great advice but I just wanted to welcome you to ecf. Good luck to you and happy vaping.

VTC4 and/or VTC5 have a great rep for sub-ohms (and regular ohms, use them myself).
I believe planet of the vapes and ukecigstore either have them in stock or are expecting them. Left the UK a few years back so dont use them myself though.
