Samsung 25r, best all around battery. Liionwholesale.com, there are other batteries but the 25r works for just about everything.
What he said. 25R is your best bet so is liionwholesale. Samsung, Sony and LG make the batteries anything else is an over price re-wrap and shouldn't be trusted as they inflate the specs.
while samsung 25r is the go to answer for many. I own 2 sets myself. I have switched to LG HG2 because its the same amps and quality but with 20% more mah, so each battery lasts longer
3rd choice for me is the lg he4 they are the LG version of the samsung 25r basically
you cant go wrong with any of those 3.
check for the best deals on the forum here. i think Joe just posted a deal on he4s and one on 25Rs
liionwholesale.com has great prices and great service as well

Orbtronic sx30 ultra high drain 30 Amp. This battery is designed solely for vaping. Kidney puncher did a great review on them. I love mine, very minimal power drop even at low battery life, better than the Sony 4's. Very powerful batteries. After breaking them in after about 5 full charging/discharging cycles you may want to turn down your wattage when putting in fresh ones
In order of increasing mAh: Sony VTC 5, LG HE2, LG HE4 (can handled the heat just a bit better), Samsung 25R (aka the Mighty Smurf, even though they're green now), LG HG2.
The first four cells are all 2,500 mAh and are essentially the same battery with a few quarks. The VTC 5 is hybrid cell and will actually benefit from a few low power discharges to break it in. After that it will hold voltage a bit longer. The Samsung can take a beating right off the rack. The LG HG2 is a 3,000 mAh cell.
I'd recommend buying at liionwholesale.com. Prices are $5-$8 a cell and shipping is prompt and at a fair rate.
That said, this is something people don't seem to realize, these are all 20 amp continuous discharge cells. Do not run them over 20 amps. They can all take a 75 watt load without damage, but you should not push them past that. Respect your batteries. They'll last longer and preform better.
Here's a bit of math for everyone:
P=C*V
So, C=20 and V=4.2
P=20*4.2
P=84
At full charge each of these cells can handle an 84 watt discharge. However, nominal voltage is 3.6.
P=20*3.6
P=72
So, at nominal voltage each of these cells can handle 72 watts. It's close enough for me not to sweat it. Besides, I'd think that anyone who vaped at those wattages would get a dual battery mod to have better battery life over the course of the day.
