Hello, pretty new to this was wondering if someone could help recommend which battery is best for the itaste VTR also which charger would be best which isn't too pricey? Also are they a lot of fake branded batteries around? Thanks in advanced.
Which Battery / Charger for VTR

Unfortunately, there are a lot of fake batteries around. There are a lot of disreputal manufacturers who are re-wrapping used lap top batteries to make them look like a coveted brand name. Many of the batteries offered on Ebay and Amazon happen to be fake batteries, especially the more popular brand names (AW and Sony).
I'd stay far away from generic, no-name brand batteries. Also stay away from any brand name with "fire" in its name.
It's always recommended to purchase your mod batteries from the likes of RTD Vapor, Illumination Supply, Lighthound, Orbtronics, etc; who verifiy that they receive their supply directly from the main manufacturer.
The VTR has been known to be "picky" about the batteries that it will accept. Some of the 18650 batteries are a little too long to fit. I don't remember which batteries these are (you might find a thread on this if you do a search). I'm quite certain that the red AW IMR batteries will fit the VTR, one of the most popular brands for years.
When choosing batteries for any mod, be sure that they are of IMR chemistry (and not ICR). Battery Basics for Mods: IMR or protected ICR?
Deeper Understanding of Mod Batteries
For a battery charger, the most trusted name brands are Xtar, Pila, and Nitecore.

I used my VTR for over a year and never had any issues with my 2 Samsung NCR18650BD 3200mAh 10A, and Nitecore D2 charger. As stated though the battery compartment is a bit loose on the VTR, I know many others who have them and have had issues with it randomly turning off (losing battery connection), mine has only done it when it gets a good bump though.
Batteries are one thing I haven't bought online, I always go to my local vape shop. When you get home you can google pictures with ways to identify if it is real, and if it is fake, take it back. Of the 6 batteries I have bought from local shops though, none have been fakes, costs a bit more though.
