What battery should I buy & where do I buy it?

As recommended on another vaping forum, I got the smok tfv4 tank & the snowwolf 200w. I didn't realize, however, that the snowwolf 200w requires batteries. What batteries should I buy & what charger should I buy? I'm trying to quit smoking but this whole process has been rather difficult. I don't have any good local vape shops so something online is what I need. Thank you.

Nitecore is an awesome charger, xstar as well.
+1 On the vendor for batteries. BTW, it's Xtar for the charger. I recommend Xtar SP2 or Xtar VC4 (plus optional wall adaptor) from http://www.xtardirect.com

If you want to make full use of the 200W, you'll need some 18650 batteries, that have a (true) continuous discharge rate of at least 30A like http://liionwholesale.com/collectio...2100mah-flat-top-wholesale?variant=1038136780
Otherwise you could use http://liionwholesale.com/collectio...mah-flat-top-wholesale-lot?variant=1038201992

Oops.....lol!
 
get the nitecore d2 charger and 4 samsung 25r batteries, you can get them all really cheap and authentic on ebay..if you get the 4 slot d2 charger and only use the two slots at any givin time, you batteries will charge significantly faster than a 2 slot only d2 charger..the lg hd2 battery seems great and im sure it is, but the samsung 25r is the proven best preforming 18650 battery for regulated mods like your snowolf 200w...if you had an unregulated mech mod then the sony vtc4 is the best..period, your snowwolf wont operate any higher than 20amp continious anyways, and the samsungs are the best..enjoy :)

How fast you want to charge batteries if you want to charge 4 at a time at 1amp you will need to go beyong the Xtar, Nitecore chargers
the Opus 3400 is da shiiit its expensive but then again it depends on how hard core one wants to go.. My saying is if I am charging batteries I want the best stuff just some other thoughts

When you consider what we pay for the other items around 50 bucks for the Opus 3400 isn't bad at all.
Yeah the Opus 3400 is da shiiit... Its actually 4 amps
I actually revived a couple questionable old 1600mah VCT3's with it cycling the other day

Cool I wasn't sure I just saw the 3amp and the plugin.
Yeah well if you press the slot button till all the slots flash you can change the charge level either per slot or place them all on 1 amp
Or you can do two slots at 2 Amps or any combination as long as it does not go over 4 amps. I checked my wall wart too I am not sure that adaptor is correct I do know it is working at 4 Amps :)

I had wanted one since v 2.1 of the opus once I knew the Opus 3400 was all the fixes and haha the fan was quieted down I jumped on it, 2 weeks ago charge time was my initial purpose but now cycling cells testing them etc being able to match cells by charge capacity makes me a happy Scary :)

There are a crap ton of fake vtc batteries out there, and ebay is one of the main sources.

Efest is a good ebay company I've had good luck so far with them. But wasn't so lucky first couple rounds do your homework and you can save some money through eBay

The best 18650 batteries by far are the Brillipower 40amp 3100mah or Aosibo 60amp 2600mah. I have tried them all from Sony to LG and etc. and nothing has the power or long lasting than these two.
