The gold standard for where and what around here has long been @mooch’s blog. Someone may throw you a link. I don’t have one. I just buy what looks good on liion wholesale. I’m lazy. The two standards seem to be 18650 and 20/21700.
In your position I would look at reviews of the mod on YouTube.
I’’m a big fan of removable batteries and battery chargers. Single battery mods want 3 batteries, (because there can be charging errors and one might not be recharged by the time you empty the other) double battery mods want 4. This is so you can charge while vaping. When a battery runs down you just swap it so infinite power for ever.
There is a wide xx650 too that looks like a “C” cell and holds about the same as a 21700. There are also “internal” non-removable batteries (which is to say ewaste) that also exist. Recently I saw an 18500 and an 18350. THEYRE really small. And pretty unusual. UL actually requires internal as they don’t trust battery sleeves (not that I blame them)

I didn’t even know about the safer longer lasting bit. I just like the instant power up.
Can you satisfy my curiosity (if you want to)?
Are you new to vaping, or have you already used other
box mods or pod mods?
Buying a dual 18650 as your first box is “strong”!
I've been vaping for 14 years and I don't exceed 60w
for my drippers.
I'm currently using a dual 18650 too,
but the only positive thing about it is the longer battery life,
while the downside is the size and weight of a box with multiple batteries.
But not as good asbetter than View attachment 1031252
I started vaping in 2008 btw. For some reason I can’t edit the post above. My first device was a cloud 9 cigalike. So I’ve seen the entire ecig technology curve. I still think the only reason disposables ever got popular was because of Juul in schools. If you’re not trying to hide them and risk getting them taken away, disposables are vastly inferior to stuff a lot older than them.
It’s pretty unusual for stuff to get worse over time but not unheard of.
