Battery selection for rx200s need help

I've been playing around with my tugboat box mod for a few months now and have just purchased a rx200s which holds 3 batteries. I have 2 cheap LG 2500mah batteries in my box mod and I'm wanting to upgrade to a better battery, but know very little about them.

From what I've read, a INR battery sounds like what I'm hunting for, can anybody give any suggestions? I'd like to have a higher mah rating than what I'm running now.

I'm dripping a 24mm mason RDA and I believe my coils are .4 ohms

I can speak personally for both HG2s and HE4s... both good LG Batts. Samsung 25Rs were in my RX200 (non-s, sold it because it sucked), and those provided nice battery life too. I also do like my Efest's, which are 2800mAh each, but those are re-wraps, and honestly I bought them before I knew about the re-wrap scam.

So on second thought, stay away from Efest :)
 
Thanks for the links, I think I'm going to try a couple of different brands. Starting with the Sony vtc4. Can anybody recommend a reliable source to order them from? They seem to be highly counterfeited

If it were me I would probably get a 20 amp CDR battery. With a 3 cell mod in series. (voltage adds), when the cells are completely drained (lets say 3v each, really it will be before that) you would have 9v total. Take that voltage and multiply be 20 amps and you get 180 watts. Are you planning on using more than 180 watts?

The thing is the higher the CDR, the less the capacity of the cells. Most regulated mods have an input limit. Match the CDR of the cell with what you will draw so you don't sacrifice capacity.

I really don't know where you can get guaranteed authentic VTC4's. I use 20 amp cells because I use regulated mods. Even though both the Samsung 25R's and LG HG2's are 20 amp CDR cells. I use the HG2's when I'm not pushing the mod as hard and the 25R's if I'm pushing it harder.
EX: I use the HG2's in my dual cell mods because with my power requirements I'm never pushing more than 20 amps. I use the 25R's in my DNA75 because with only one cell, I push it a little harder.

Samsung is known to be conservative with their ratings. If you look at tests the 25R's heat up a little bit less at 20 amps. The higher the CDR, the less capacity and vice versa. Match the cell to the application.

If you really need 30 amps, then check out some of the vendors in the article I linked you too. I'm telling you what to do, I'm telling you what I do.

Reliable Battery Vendors
It’s important to buy from well known vendors who only carry authentic batteries. There are a lot of fake, “counterfeit”, batteries out there that not only perform badly but can be dangerous to use. Here are a few reliable sources for authentic batteries:

Very helpful, thank you. I ended up buying some Samsung 25r to try first. I'll be experimenting with different batteries. I ordered from liion wholesale, I didn't see any sonys listed.
