Battery vendors

[irwink]

In the current state of vape suppliers where are folks getting their batteries these days? I'm looking specifically for high capacity 18650's. I'm not looking for the cheapest crap available. I'm looking for quality batts.

Hi mate,
Welcome back!
Mooch's Recommended Batteries | E-Cigarette Forum

The light blue section at the bottom of the "batteries table" has a list of the more trusted vendors.

I use the P26A in my 18650 mechs/regulated devices and the Sammy 30T for my 21700 needs.

From battery suppliers, not vape suppliers. Most people here from the USA tend to buy from 18650batterystore.com, Liionwholesale.com and IMRbatteries.com, which are on Mooch's list of recommended suppliers. Stay away from vape shops and Amazon/Ebay for batteries and chargers.

Thanks for the links. I usually keep several pair in rotation so it's been awhile since I needed to buy more. The current batch is starting to get tired.

I'm in Canada and I go to those also along with Illumn. I trust all of these to sell me authentic batts and the prices are about the best around to boot. Hard to go wrong with that combination.

Yes, there's also orbtronic.com who is on Mooch's list but I only mention the three I did because it seems most people at ECF use those 3. Ilumn is rarely mentioned and orbtronic I never see anyone mention these days. 18650bs and liionwholesale seem to have the best deals IMHO but I never took a real hard look at illmn TBH.

Orbtronic user here!

Which reminds me, I need new batteries...

I purchase from all of these depending on stock and pricing:
IMRBatteries
Liion Wholesale
Illumn
18650batterystore

Most urls are obvious - but let me know if you can't find one

Same (from liion)

I recently bought 2 each; Molicel P42A 21700, Sanyo NCR2070C 20700 and Sony / Murata VTC5D 18650 batteries from M&A BD Electronics located in Chino Hills, CA. They shipped quickly.

Before purchasing I checked out what others who purchased from them were saying. Reviews were positive and by all accounts the batteries they sell are authentic.

At the time I was looking the P42's, NCR2070C's and VTC5D's were sold out at IMR, 18650bs and elsewhere. Folks at the Budget Light Forum recommended M&A.

IMO, they are a decent battery supplier.

I've always got my batteries from Liion Wholesale, never had any issues with them.

Decent pricing on the batteries and shipping as well as coming with protective cases to boot.
