So I just ordered an IPV3 LI and want to buy a fresh set of batteries for it.. I have a nitecore charger, when I buy the two batteries will it be alright to recharge them in this even if it was say a samsung or sony brand? Also I would like to know in your opinion what batteries I should get for this.. I'm going to be running it at about 50 watts when I use my tank, possibly up to 70-80 watts when I get the smok tf4 in..and i'll also be running it at about 100-110 watts with my rdas (yes I love me a hot vape).. so based on this what batteries would you guys recommend? and if you've bought them online before what site did you buy them from and how fast was shipping?.. I have one nitecore 18650 battery here now and a chargre that holds two. So instead of buying one more i'd rather be on the safe side and buy a pair together, I'm thinking about getting the nitecor 18650's but would like to know if there are any better ones out there and if so which ones!
Thanks guys.

I use this

High Drain IMR 18650 Battery 30A Orbtronic SX30 rechargeable Li-ion Li-Mn

and

LG HG2 18650 LiMn 3000mAh Battery - 35 Amp

They are charged in the device or on a nitecore 2 bay charger I bought 3 years ago.

I believe from test by Mooch the orbtronic's is only 20 amp which was a little upsetting because I always thought they were a good vendor. I don't reach near 20 amps so I am not too concerned. I generally keep 20 amps as my max limit though no matter what the battery states.

The LG last forever in my VT40 but I am an average vaper that only tests the limits every once in awhile.

You can charge any brand IMR/hybrid battery using your nitecore charger.
I’d suggest buying at least 2 pair, one to vape with while the other pair charge & rest, also its best to mark them as pairs ( 1a -1b, 2a-2b) and charge & use them as pairs.

LG HB6 1500mah 30a cdr
Vtc 4 2100mah 30a cdr

Always buy from reputable vendors to avoid fake/counterfeit batteries.
