Reliable place to buy 18650's

[Neiledward]

Hi guys I'm about to buy my first replaceable battery mod so that shows you how much of a newbie I am! Until now I have had a joyetech egrip and an innokin cool fire IV plus. Any I've been doing some research and am looking at Samsung 25r5's and possibly a nitecore i2 or i4. Anything else I should consider? Also where do you guys shop for reliable batteries?Looking for a good site for these and a carry case. Thanks so much. You guys are the best.

+3 for the vendor suggestions, Nitecore is a good choice of charger and the Samsung is a good battery.
Anything else you should know? Just be aware of the CDR amp limit of the cell you are using and how that relates to the demands of the mod you are using.

I'm in the US. I'm looking at the Kanger Nebox because of the ml capacity and because I work construction so the built-in tank seems like a great idea for me. I usually take my egrip to work so I don't have to worry about the tank on top but it doesn't vape like my cool fire. Thanks for the prompt replies. I don't know where I'd be without e-cigarette forum.

On the three above , they are known for authentic batteries. There are a lot of e cig vendors out there that unknowingly are selling counterfeit batteries , finding out who their supplier is will tell you if they are authentic or not .

Ebay is , without question, the worst place to buy batteries , that place is loaded with counterfeits and unfortunately the sellers will insist they are authentic because their supplier told them so .

That doesn't mean much .

My favorite reliable place for batteries and really vaping stuff in general is vapenw. Their prices simply cannot be beat. Save by maybe fasttech. Which should be called slowtech. Also don't feel fast tech is quite as reliable. I would go with vape NW if I were you. Your choice tho. And you are gonna get a lot of answers. But it's like 6 or 7 bucks for authentic Samsungs on Vape NW. So it's a no brainer
