Where to get legitimate cells.

H4X0R46 · Jun 25, 2016

Hello guys! First time posting here in the battery junkies section, so hello all!

So my question for you guys, is where I could get a good price and REAL batteries that are not clones. I am looking into buying a Wismec RX200, and I'm thinking either the Samsung 25R or the LG HG2 batteries, they sound like some of the best option. (Unless someone here can show me better cells

) Anyhow, I was looking at www.imrbatteries.com and a few others, who has a good vendor for 18650s they can vouch for personally? Thanks guys! Much appreciated!

Imr and Liion is all I use. Stay away from Ebay or Amazon. Lots of fakes out there. I know some vapers will disagree but for a buck or two and sometimes less I'd rather be safe than sorry. Just my opinion. Also just stick with Samsung, Lg, Sony, and Panasonic everything else is a rewrap. Mooch on fb tests them all and he is an invaluable resource when it comes to batteries. I run LG Hg2's in both of my Reuleaux's.

I was looking at some Sony VTC4 batteries, but from what I've been told, those are the most clones cells out there. Is that true? This will be my first regulated mod, my current is an unregulated mod with built in 19500 Li-Po cells (2 of em). Not the best thing to be vaping on, so the RX200 being my first regulated mod, don't wanna goof on batteries lol What type do you recommend? I'm thinking IMR or INR batteries just for the high drain and the much less violent vent in the worst case scenario.

The LG H2's work fine in the RX, like others said,,, from a reputable company. RTD vapor http://www.rtdvapor.com/ usually has good prices and fast shipping. Illion is so a very good outfit. http://liionwholesale.com/

I would add Sanyo and remove Panasonic.
Sanyo UR18650NSX Is quite good, about the same as 25R
Panasonic only make 10A batteries.

I hear you. With that list I wasn't worried so much about the specs. That little list was more for authenticity purposes.

For regulated LG HG2 or Samsung 30q are the 2 3000mAH battery options, so they'll have the longest life. They will work great in your RX200, I'd only maybe be concerned if you do the upgrade and want to use it at 200w+. Then I'd jump to something like 25rs which are 20amp+ (a bit higher than that but not 25amp), LG HD2C which are true 25amps, or if you can grab some of the remaining stock of real VTC4s.

For good batteries Liionwholesale, Illumn, or IMRBatteries is where I'd go.

For batteries, www.lionwholesale.com is a member here.
I also use GenuineCells on ebay. That seller, sells authentic cells and their deals have been pimped here more than once.

Myself, I only use Samsung or LG cells for vaping.

+1 for Liion Wholesale. Their rep Jon is very helpful and never fails to answer a question if he is tagged with @....

Best price is not the most important criteria when choosing a battery vendor.

Well I know that. Just between the ones that others previously vouched for. Between those like, 4 sites.

Sorry, no offense intended. I just like to support those who reciprocate and are helpful and accessible.
