Legit sony vtc4s or vtc5s or different batteries for a sigelei 50watt, since Sonys seem to be impossible to find. (Currently using aw 18650s)
28ga kanthal
Japanese Ken Gen do cotton

KidneyPuncher has legit batteries as far as I'm aware.

Don't bother with looking for VTC5's though, they don't really exist anymore (and any batteries that claim to be VTC5's are VERY likely to just be rewraps).

I'd suggest going with Efest, LG's, or Samsungs. Anything that's rated at 20A should be legit, and assuming you're not going below .22 ohms, should be suitable for your build.

I don't plan on going that low of a sub ohm anytime soon, prob start around .75 and go from there.

That's good.

With all the regulated high-power devices, sub-ohm really isn't necessary these days. Lotta people don't understand that and will build .15 builds for their 100W box mod.. Super unnecessary, and not taking full advantage of the variable power.

Looking into the orbtronic sx30 as the higher amp rating is ideal

Or is there a better battery out there?

Yeah but are they legit? Probably not since they only work 'ok'

They look right. I say ok because I haven't put them trough any form of electrical testing. I do however get 3 days out of a charge.( parallel build) I run them in a sx 350 device.
