I would recommend high quality IMR batteries bought from a reputable supplier. I am not sure if you are specifically looking for 18490/18500 but AW make some of the better batteries out there in this size. They have a 1200mAh 18490 (which is the highest I have seen in a good quality battery)

Unfortunately, my favorite supplier here in the US doesn't ship internationally and I am not able to provide good links to European supplies - but I will caution you to not buy them from Amazon or use cheap no-brand batteries in it. AW make good 18650 and 18350 batteries too.

That is a 10 ampere rated battery. If I'm looking at the correct specs, your Pipeline Pro is only capable of pushing 5 amperes, so that would be a good battery for that.
For Kanthal, I would suggest 28 awg or 30 awg Kanthal A-1.
Personally, I hate cotton wicks and use rayon... but if you're gonna use cotton, then go for Ko Gen Do (or something like that) Organic Japanese Cotton.

Welcome to the forum, ARVO... I hope this helps you out a bit... let me know if you have any other questions.

*Edit to add specs of the Pipeline Pro APV for reference*
