My current battery of choice is the Samsung 25R.
They can be had for a decent price from a lot of different vendors (not just ecig vendors either)..and apparently nobody is selling fakes at this point in time.

I've bought from this vendor and prices are good and products are spot on.

I have 8 of the 25R's and am very happy with their performance. I buy most of my batteries from RTD (linked above) or from 18650 Samsung INR18650-25R 2500mAh High Discharge Flat Top - Batteries - Batteries, Chargers, and PowerPax Carriers <----- Illumination Supply.
At $6 for a great quality, high mAh, 20 amp battery, it's hard to recommend anything else at the moment.

Efest IMR 18650 2500mAh 35amp compares real close to the Sony's. With more fakes than real with the Sony out there I made the switch to Efest.
They also have the VTC4 for $8.50. I'm with InTheShade, I just picked up some 25R's and VTC4's from Illumination. Their shipping is insanely fast.
I have never tried the Samsung 25r but many swear by them. If the amp limit is sufficient for your needs, then by all means try them out.
I require 30 amp batteries for my setups, so I will only use genuine Sony VTC5s (I stocked up a while back!) or VTC4s, Orbtronic sx30s, or purple efest 2100mah 30 amp batteries. Please do not be mislead by the purple efest 2500mah "35 amp" battery, it is a re-wrapped 20 amp LG. Still a great battery but not as advertised.

Still the best deal on the internet, I'm convinced. Didn't do that much research honestly but hot damn that's a good deal. I was googling "Best 18650 battery 2015" and found this. Thanks buddy.
just curious as to how you get a vtc4 to last all day? depending on how much im vaping mine will last 2-3 hours tops. I assure you it is a genuine vtc4, not a knock off.
On a typical weekday I am probably vaping around 250 or so 3 second puffs a day. If I use a VTC4 in a DNA 30 + SubTank I can get about 280 3 second puffs out of a fully charged battery @ 30W. If it is Saturday night and I am at a party, I can be vaping at a considerably higher rate (especially if I am drinking) and have to change my battery after several hours. It all depends on how much you vape and how much demand you are putting on your battery.
