Best places for batteries is Authentic AW Batteries at RTD Vapor. Genuine batteries good prices and fast shipping.
Plus one for RTD Vapor for batteries. 
You are going to need an ohm reader or digital multimeter to measure your coils for the RBA.
You'll want IMR high-drain batteries. Depending upon if you will be making sub-ohm coils or not, pay attention to the amp rating of the batteries. Sub-ohm coils will require 30 amp batteries.
Battery Basics for Mods <-- recommended batteries with amp specifications
Mechanical Mod Safe Useage Guide
Information Resources for Your First RBA
For an inexpensive tank RBA clone, I recommend a Kayfun-style RBA
For an easy, budget RDA, the IGO-L is often recommended.

101vape.com is my go to for batteries, or lighthound.com
You would be hard pressed to find a less expensive Purple Efest 18500 15amp ($5.25):

Triangle Vape LLC or Illumn.com - Flashlights, Batteries, Carry Gear, Intelligent LED Lighting, and More! are also some good resources for obtaining batteries.
I agree with an IGO-L as a good starter RDA as well which can be found at Triangle Vape.

101 Vapes and Ecigitty for quality RBA clones then E-bay.
You don't want to go too cheap where posts are uneven, bad machining, etc...I would go well review RDA clones or just get Youde IGO-W .

Which mod is that? It suits my style just fine and I am due to purchase something new and shiny that I don't need.
The 18500's are a bit cheaper and a little shorter but they are limited to app. 15 amp draw. For me, I would take the 18650's because you can get 30-35amp and more battery life for only a slight increase in size and price. I picked up a pair of purple Efest IMR 30 amp 18650's on ebay for like $18 (free shipping).
More amps will allow you to build lower ohm coils and get much more power to your coils. Check out Ohm's law | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators to see the difference in amp draw and watts based on the resistance of your coil and the battery's voltage (use 4.2v vs the rated 3.7v for a fully charged battery)
For an RDA I am really digging the Quasar clone (purchased on ebay for app. $14.00 + free shipping), great stock airflow, good for single and dual coil setup. Dual nano dragon coil at .5 ohms, it is a beastly fog machine. Feels like taking "water pipe" rips vs sipping vapor thu a coffee straw IMO, YMMV.

If you're wanting to get into rebuildables, you're going to want the 18650s. And get the ones rated for 30 amps. It'll give you a greater range of possibilities. And you'll be safer should you accidentally hit that subohm territory even if you don't mean to. Not that that should happen, because you should always check a new coil with a multimeter. But you can never be too careful in my opinion.
angelcigs.com has a warhouse in Cali they have some good rba to get and you get in 3 days free shipping and good price
You don't need 18650 batteries to subohm...0.3 ohms on a full battery only draws 14 amps.
In other words you can easily go down to 0.5 ohms on the purple efest 18500.
That said the battery life would be terrible at 0.5 ohms on an 1100mah battery. Personally I use the Sony vtc5's and can usually get a full day out of one @ 0.8'ish ohms.

It's the telescopic promod from vaporbeast. Highly recommend them as a retailer! It's was originally 60 and I got it for 17 to my door with coupon code ( Yeahbaby ) free shipping on everything as well ! Fast shipping too! Don't get the promod plus because you need a 510 adaptor . They have the lavatubeod on sale for 24 now. I am pretty dead set on the Igo-l I think. Any other options beside the igo just incase? batteries are another story.

I'll look into the quasar and I was shooting for 0.8 for now, but for price I may go 18650 to do it right the first time

Want to try the 26650 mod.
Just finished talking with a nice lady at Vapor Beast. They don't ship internationally but hope to in the near future. I guess I will need to find something else shiny to get for now. Honestly though shipping to me would have cost more than the mod so I don't blame them at all.
Well that's a bummer man, go on fasttech and get a m16 clone! They are very nice and simple. I finished her
