Good luck and I hope you find what you want, the supplier posted is likely to ship to Romania the poster who recommended it is in the EU. If they don't, you might try some of the EU forums to find trusted suppliers and etc. There are a lot of counterfeits out there.

I use the Samsung 25s .and possibly the Samsung 30s might be good for you (unless you have already decided on a Sony which is also a great choice.) I vape exclusively MTL though, it sounds like you are using a bit more variety. Good luck, and congrats on your first internal battery mod. Also, welcome to ECF. :)

Hi CRISTY1, welcome to ECF.

If you need an alternative source, other EU trusted vendors are:

www.ecoluxshopdirect.co.uk
www.akkuteile.de

I'd strongly discourage you from ordering from aliexpress, in case you're considering it. eBay and Amazon should also be avoided for batteries. There are a lot of problems with counterfeit batteries, and they're common on those sites.

I know Mooch's blog can be a bit overwhelming at first, but the parts about battery safety are well worth the read. Another particularly useful bit of the blog is his chart of recommended batteries:

https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/attachments/7fdf0dbf-4d99-4676-932d-b3259735ef7d-jpeg.735233/

The chart shows the CDR of various batteries (the amp rating, so the number like 20A below the battery). If you're staying at 30 w or below, any 18650 with a CDR of 15 or higher will be fine. There's no problem using the batteries at low power - it's just high power you need to watch out for.

Since 15 A batteries will meet your needs, I'd recommend one of the 3000 mAh batteries:
  • Sony VTC6
  • Samsung 30Q
  • LG HG2
The Samsung 25R has a slightly lower capacity, but it's a great battery that would also work well for you.

If you're new to replaceable batteries, there are three things you should consider ordering along with your batteries:
  • Battery case - This has already been mentioned, but it's worth saying again. Never carry a lithium battery loose in your pocket or purse. It should be in a case at all times unless it's in a mod or being charged.
  • A charger - It's generally recommended to use an external charger, and getting the right charger is very important as a poor quality one can damage your batteries. Xtar and Nitecore make basic but reliable chargers.
  • Battery wraps - The wrap is the plastic sleeve that goes around the battery. Never use a battery with a damaged wrap. Wraps aren't that sturdy, so it's a good idea to have a few on hand. They're very cheap and easy to replace - you pull the old one off, slide the battery into the new one and shrink it on with a hairdryer or heat gun. There are a lot of helpful YouTube videos showing the process.

Good luck! I hope you find what you need.

Maybe you guys, having a lot more experience than me, can recommend me a battery that I can use safely at the wattage that I vape at since another concern that I'm having is that it might not be safe to use those batteries at a lower power.
Welcome and glad you joined.
Might consider other external battery accessory purchases:
Back up batterie(s), carrying case, volt meter(s), wraps, charger(s) backup.
Could start with general info:

Wow this community is just amazing and so helpful,I want to thank everybody for their replies and their insight you guys really helped me ,I went with the Samsung 30Q ,thanks to Hawise recommendation, they seemed the like perfect match for me ,I managed to find a supplier that I trust and assured me that they are original,and after a visual verification they seem like the real deal and the battery life is amazing on them so thank you very much Hawise for the recommendation .I also got a Nightcore smart charger just to be on the safe side.
.I never ordered batteries from Aliexpress I am way to paranoid with battery safety to do that :)), I just ordered my mods from there.

Thank you so much, I decided to go with the Samsung 30 Q , such a good recommendation can't believe it wasn't even on my list.
