I want to purchase the new Wismec Gen3 which holds 3*18650's.
What would be the ideal batteries to go along with it? I'm usually vaping between 50W and 70W but I'm still new so would like to keep the option open to go a bit higher eventually. Let's say 100W-120W max.
I did some reading but I'm still confused whether to go for batteries with the highest possible capacity or highest output? I guess it doesn't matter all that much since it holds 3 batteries?
And what brand to chose?
Also I'd buy the Nitecore SC4 Superb Charger with max output of 6A over 4 bays which would be good I guess unless some of you have better options.
Something else I overlooked and need for this setup?
TY!

Get six Sony VTC6 batteries and a Nitecore NEW i4 charger. The Nitecore SC4 has extra features, but they are not needed, and, although the higher maximum charging output current could be useful because it allows for faster battery charging, IMO it isn't worth the extra money because, having six instead of only three batteries, you can still continue to vape on three of them whilst the other three are in the charger.

At first I was looking at the New i4 but it has only a total output of 1.5A. How long would it take to fully charge 3 18650's (I suppose at a rate of 500mA)?

Now you can get it for about $10 more than the New i4! I just watched a YouTube Review of the Nitecore SC4 by Gear Obsession and there is a coupon code that brings the price down from $51.95 to $35.99 @ GearBest.
I have wanted one, but you're right the cost is prohibitive. I bought the SC2, but it was defective. One channel didn't work. Plus the power info is on a plastic peel off, so if you remove it, there are only 8 lights. You have to remember the mA and Volts. This charges at 3 amps x 2 channels and charges fast!
