We generally will not recommend buying batteries from ebay or amazon.

oh okay, but do you think it will work fine?

Samsung 25R is a good battery. There are many here from the UK, ask them where they get their batteries.

100% GENUINE SAMSUNG 25R 18650 2500mAh 20 35A INRIMR RECHARGABLE Vape BATTERIES | eBay so this would be fine right?

i live in the UK

Samsung 25R is a very good battery, but its only 2500mah capacity. (It has a 20 amp discharge rate, not 35A. The 35 amp spec is the pulse rate, which is a meaningless spec to vapers.)

A better choice would be a 20 amp battery with higher capacity (will last longer per charge). The below batteries are 3000mah capacity.

LG 18650HG2 3000mah 20 amp CDR
Samsung 18650 30Q, 3000 mah 20 amp CDR
Sony 18659VTC6 3000mAh 20 amp CDR
AW 18650 3000 mah 20 amp CDR​

Must you buy from E-Bay? The veterans here on ECF have read countless tales of counterfeit scams from E-bay advertised to be genuine. How to identify counterfeit Samsung25R batteries We're just trying to help you. Reputable battery suppliers like those below actually honor their guarantee to sell authentic name brand batteries. They have a reputation to uphold as selling batteries is their primary focus.

I didn't realize you were in the UK. Two reputable UK suppliers:

@djsvapour Where do you order your 18650 batteries from?

Ecolux, Torchy, um, I think some came from 18650uk.
There are other vendors available but a) some shops add £1 or so then postage as well b) some vendors make out their rewraps are somehow superior because they 'developed' them; which isn't even possible unless some 2nd rate shop in a small town is secretly a multi million pound global player in battery technology. They just wrap a battery and charge more... Hardly honest behaviour.

Heya guys, i got the battery unstuck with a semi professional, he just simply unscrewed the top and got it out by slowly basically bashing on it, apparently, the battery wasn't a INR or IMR so i did put a wrong battery in the vape, the vape is okay and i have bought the batteries i was talking about earlier, @Baditude thanks for the suggestion but i think ill do fine with having two of the batteries which i was talking about(i bought two so i can swap them out easily) and thanks to @stols001 for telling me to get someone else to do it, the vape right now is completely fine as far as i can see as i don't have a battery to test it with, Thanks everyone !
