Your link doesn't work Danny.
Couple of things - why not get a good quality charger, and I think these are the batteries you were after:
$10.51 Panasonic CGR18650CH Rechargeable 2250mAh 3.7V 18650 Lithium Batteries 2-pack - authentic cells / 2-pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping



Same ones can be bought from the US here:
Button top
Batteries : Panasonic Hybrid/ IMR CGR18650CH Button Top

or flat top:
Batteries : Panasonic Hybrid/IMR CGR18650CH

This is what it says about the battery I linked:

New! Panasonic 2900mAh NCR18650PD 18650 Li-ion High Current 10A rechargeable battery cell - Flat Top - Panasonic.

I like this battery because the ibdo on ECF said to get the highest Mah possible. I think I'm going to get a new charger also. Thanks again.

If they are like the ones in this pic and are high drain then they are Panasonic hybrids:
Orbtronic High Drain 18650 2900mAh NCR18650PD Hybrid Li-ion (each)

I haven't used them but vapers have tested them and given good reports.

Yes the spec's are the same, but the ones in my picture are green. Hmmmm

They come in green.

Ok thanks again! I owe you one.

Where did you find the Tesla as a kit? I thought ivape was the only place selling them, and they are sold as mod body only?

Just curious.

I bought my kit from someone that won it in a contest. It was brand new in the box. But if you do search on google, there are a few places that are selling the whole kit for around $95 dollars. I believe they come with cleros, 2 batteries a charger and the Tesla. It's a really good mod.

Thank you for all the replies. You all have been very helpful. As I said I am new to this so all the information I have received has been greatly appreciated, now that I have found this site I do not have to stumble around blindly.

IMR batteries would be the best. Get the flat ones without the button tips or the bottom will not screw on all the way.

Button tops fit just fine in my Tesla. :::shrugging:::

Yeah those will work, but I think iVape recommends flat top. But if they're working for you great. Stop by and join the Tesla Owners Group. You'll find some cool people there.

You are lucky if your button tops fit, but 99% of button the tops don't. Here is what I am talking about:

Flat Battery



Cap with Flat battery



Button Top Battery

Button tops fit just fine in my Tesla. :::shrugging:::

 

[Dannyboy5691]

I contacted iVape and they just told me that only flat top batteries should be used. Also, do not try and stack 18350's. Hope that helps.

I have two each of 3 differently branded button tops (Panasonic, Efest and UltraFire) and all of 'em fit! Since I'm in the lucky 1%, I guess it's a good day to play the lottery.
