Uk 18650 battery suppliers

[MattyVigilante]

Hi all,
Just a quick one, where do the UK vapers on here order their batteries from?
I'm looking for a decent supplier of either Sony VTC 4's or LG HB4's, basically 30 amp batteries

you could check the rest of europe ;p if i order from the UK its 2 days versus 1 from belgium or holland (and infinity from italy)
that said it seems my usual sources are limited to the vtc 5 and hg2's

ah here is a uk one they seem to have rebanded vtc4 (normal with a sticker on it )

Oh no! Do NOT go there. They had to recall batteries because they weren't what they said they were (strange as the brand was one they themselves owned!)


Torchy (big_f_d_d on eBay) and Ecolux (ecoluxshop | eBay) on eBay are trusted vendors.

thanks for the warning, i had that shop on list as a possible source for tanks, how are they doing in that regard? or is it a no go across the line?

+1 on "Torchythebatteryboy". He has a presence on UKVapers with a very good reputation for quality and service. He also sells through Ebay (Member ID big_f_d_d).

The Sony VTC4 is a 20A cell that can be pushed to 30A safely. The LG HB2/HB4/HB6 are all true 30A cells. From @Mooch battery blogs.

I've heard far too many reports of bad service to ever recommend them.

They may be big but they're not clever.

I actually have 2 of the vaping outlaw batteries that were recalled that I ordered from them.
I'd never use them though, just waiting until I remember to chuck them in the battery bin next time I go shopping

I 2nd this.
I have bought a lot of batteries from ecoluxshop and all have been fine.
