I need battery help!!

[SexyPickle]

I purchased a Vision Blade mod Ultra & I still need to purchase a battery (18650) 2000mahs or higher & charger. This has been WAY more difficult than I thought... Do I buy IMR, lithium ion, Panasonic, trustfire?? Its SO difficult to look up this info because ppl have their own 'preference' so the info given isnt always right! My brain hurts..help!

Any battery with "fire" in the name should be avoided like the plague. AW IMRs are the ones you should be looking at for all around reliability and safety.

You should definitely be using unprotected high drain IMR batteries. Good batts/charger are a must.
Panasonic and AW are good brands. If you want a safer vape best to also get a fuse:

IMR batteries are currently recommended by battery experts over protected li-ion batteries. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ecf-library/129569-rechargeable-batteries.html

(Li Mn) IMR batteries have a safer chemistry and therefore do not require the built-in protected circuits that NCR/ICR need. Never use a non-protected NCR/ICR (li ion) battery in a mod.

I've written a guide for novices that may help explain the batteries we use in mods: Battery Basics: IMR or Protected?

The AW 18650 IMR is the most recommended battery for use in mods that use that size. Below are other options:

AW IMR
18650 2000mah 10Amp CDR
18650 1600mah 24A

Samsung hybrid (LiNiCoMnP)
INR18650-20R 2000mah 22A

MNKE IMR
IMR18650 1500mah 20A

Panasonic ​or Orbtronic hybrid
CGR18650CH (IMR/Li Ion hybrid) 2250mAh 10A
NCR18650PD (LiNiCoAl) 2900mAh 10A

Efest IMR
18650 2000mah 10A
18650 1600mAh 30A
