best 18650 battery for the price

[timmypeeps]

When I bought my mec mod it came with a blue inr 18650 battery not sure how safe it is . I'm looking for a all purpose battery or 2 that will run along time. I would be using a 5 to 12 watt kick with my nautilus mini most of the time but might get the urge to use my rda. I thought I would ask the good people here. PS I don't want to have my face blown off by a cap battery.

use a sony vtc4 or 5 or efest

don't buy sony's from ebay or amazon, apparently everyone is pretty much selling clones if you read the reviews
I bought 2 efest 2500 mah batteries from amazon and they were legit, at least the ones I bought, normally I buy efest from mt baker vapor

the sony batteries are harder to find though since most vapors want them

Sony VTC5 has been discontinued.
Look at Authentic AW Batteries - RTD Vapor OR Illumn.com - Flashlights, Batteries, Carry Gear, Intelligent LED Lighting, and More! for good Authentic batteries.
Currently most recommended are Samsung 25R or LG HE2 since the sonys are out. Sony VTC4 works great just has a lower Mah rating.

I've used the red AW IMR (high drain, safe chemistry, unprotected) for years and love them. For my sub-ohm needs, I have used Sony VCT 4/5, Samsung 25R, and purple Efest (2100mah 30 amp -- rebranded Sony's). I buy all my batteries from RTD Vapor.


Battery Basics for Mods: IMR or Protected ICR?

The safest bet would be samsung 25r's. They are available, and as far as I know, not yet counterfeited. Not to mention, they are great batteries.

I'm running Samsung 25Rs, no complaints. Also, I've got a pair of LG HE2s that are just as fine =)

Sony VTC-4 will be my top choice. The next will be Samsung 25r they are as good as the VTC-4.

Efest 35 amp, decent price...

Sounds like you already have the Samsung 25R that I use and several have already recommended.

Samsung 25R Lasts as long as vtc5 and lasts a bit longer in the mid cells they are like 8.99 tops

Just ordered 2 25r's for $13 and some change and got free shipping from liionwholesale.com

I have the LG HE2s but might pick up some 25r for $5.85 each.

+1 for efest batteries. Not worth it to skimp on quality when you have so much power inches from your face and since Sony's are no longer in production i would say efest is the best or one of the best batteries you can buy period.
