New to forums, need opinions on first box (Ipv3 Li)

[GreenInsane96]

Hello, I just bought an ipv3 Li online at myvaporstore.com and I'm looking for reliable battery for a decent price, anyone have a reliable site since there seems to be alot of ripoff websites? I'm thinking about the imren 18650 battery. I just want to know I'm getting a good deal before I order the batteries/charger.

I would skip the Imren battery. They are rewraps with inflated specs.

I'll quote Mooch (one of ECF's battery experts).

A pair of HG2's, VTC5's or 25R's would be OK up to about 130W or so.
Up to about 175W the VTC4's would be OK, but better to use the HB6's at 175 watts.
Above 175W, get the HB6's.

See more information on @Mooch battery blogs.
