Who has the best prices for authentic batteries?

[Topwater Elvis]

It would be 'best' to use flat top in all power devices except the very few that require button top.
The owners manual or manufacturers description will say ' requires button top battery '.

If it doesn't state 'requires button top', use flattop.

Do yo think they will stop making button tops? ( for vaping)

 

[Darth Omerta]

I doubt they will stop making button tops. The cells we use are not intended to be used for vaping.

 

[Topwater Elvis]

I hope not.
The only button top cells I use are AW, as long as they're in business & available I'm good.

 

[leftyandsparky]

It just seems like they are fading out and stores are just selling flat tops, I just placed a order with rtd vapes last week

I was just saying I didn't need to worry about batteries. That's concerning

 

[Darth Omerta]

The demand for button tops in vaping is fading so its likely that vape shops will stop carrying them.

 

[ChelsB]

So those with the provari that needs button tops will be SOL?

I think I'm used to seeing them online in vape shops,and so many are closing and not stocking much so that's way I was having a hard time finding them. Rtd has them so that's good!

I don't think so

 

[Topwater Elvis]

Most B&M's I've been to don't sell button top, a few do.
They stock what sells, no reason to stock stuff that sits around especially batteries which degrade with time.

RTD is my go to place for all batteries.

 

[Darth Omerta]

Again, I dont think the batteires themselves wont be made anymore, just might be harder to find them. That said, Provape is closed so the demand for button tops will likely reduce even more.

 

[ChelsB]

What does BE and GA mean after the 18650?

Kind of like watch batteries, some times you have to special order them

 

[Topwater Elvis]

Depends on what battery you're asking about.

Sub model / version identification.
The Pan 18650BE is a 3.6a CDR cell, not a good choice for vaping.
The sanyo 18650ga is a so so 10a CDR, there are better choices.
Both flat top.

Be easier just to say what power device you are looking for batteries for?

Comparing Panasonic 18650 BD vs. Panasonic 18650 BE

 

[Topwater Elvis]

The DNA 40 chip the hana uses has a max input of 16a, (from the battery to the chip).
So, any of the good 18a - 20a CDR cells will work well & safely.
Samsung 30Q 3000mah
LGhg2 3000mah
Sony VTC6 3000mah
AW 3000mah

Get one or two for your Pico too.
