Kamry K200/K200+ Battery Choice

[agt7575]

I am looking to purchase the Kamry K200 or K200+ kit. The K200 kit comes with a Kamry 18650 200mah 3.7v battery (protected/non-protected not specified) and changer. The K200+ kit comes with the charger, but no battery. My question is what type of battery (brand name, voltage, protection?) should I buy that will be compatible with the the K200/K200+? I am a newbie when it comes to mods and non ego/cig-a-like type batteries. I was looking at purchasing two (2) Samsung ICR18650-30B 18650 3000mAh Protected Rechargeable Lithium batteries but I am not absolutely sure that they will fit/be compatible with the K200 or K200+, and Kamry does not show any specs on their 18650 batteries aside from the mah and voltage.

If the Samsung listed above will not work, can anyone recommend a battery that will? I chose the Samsung as I heard that they are very good batteries and the site fasttech.com sells the pair for $11.60. BTW the site also sells the K200 kit for $46.59 and the K200+ kit for $38.94 which are PHENOMENAL prices.

Thanks in advance.

I'm sure the Samsung would be fine to use. Also AW IMRs would be a good choice but pricier.. Don't scrimp on price on batteries. They are the most important part and safety of your vaping experience. If they cost more, so be it. Samsung is supposed to be a good batt.. I've used Panasonics and AWs.. Also had good experiences with them. Always IMR for high drain.. Good luck/

Not sure of the 'best' battery to use, but I have a K200 and have found it to be a battery hog in my experience...

What juice attachments do you plan to use? The Samsung ICR18650-30B 18650 3000mAh Protected Batteries will be fine for commonly used clearomizers and cartomizers, but will not be applicable for an RBA/RDA or using a Kick; for that you will need an IMR or hybrid battery.

A Recommended "high drain", safe chemistry, IMR / hybrid battery will work usually better) in any mod, of any type, style, mech or electronic, and are :
CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP TO PURCHASE

They will last for at least a year or two is treated right, carefully recharged and the cost difference is rather small. A few extra bucks for something that lasts years, you likely spent more than that on smokes bummed by friends, co-workers in a year. The cost difference is worth it for safety, peace of mind. Get a good battery from a trusted source, (not EBay) and it will treat you well.
