Lol…that’s where I usually get mine too. I usually use the 25r’s. I was actually thinking about trying a couple of the LG this time also. The brown ones…can’t remember the kind off the top of my head. Thanks for the recommendation

Strongly agree with both @BoyHowdy and @CallMeTut. Did a ton of research before buying my first batteries, and can easily confirm that mooch’s battery reviews/assessments are highly accurate.
I rely on two 18650’s, and they perform like clockwork. The LG HG2, and the Samsung 25r5’s. Both can be had from Illumn.com more reasonably than any retail shop, and cheaper than the majority of online vendors. (I picked up 6 Samsungs from there recently, and all were authentic)

This is available from a great friend of mine, if it suits you…
I swear he is as honest as your bills are long, you have my word.

For you that are just getting into TC mode…
Not quite ready to build your own titanium wire coils, this is a viable start,
and yes, available from a [disabled] friend of mine that is as good as gold.
You may think I am panhandling for him, and maybe I am, but on my honor, he is worth it.
On my word [for those of you that don’t cuss me] his customer service is as good as @Nicotine_River

If your willing to wait for awhile you could order from gearbest. You can get an 8 pack of 25r’s for 31.50 shipped.

Unless they’re on sale elsewhere for cheaper, I get my batteries from this guy. In comparing them to Mooch’s specs, all the Sammies and LGs I’ve bought are legit. and his shipping speed is pretty good.

Your link didn’t work for me. Just showed the search results in ebay for 18650. GB is a decently reputable supplier it’s where alot of the ft nerds go now.
These are the 18650 search results for that particular vendor that gets about 75
% of my battery sales. Just type in the brand you’re looking for at the top. I listed it for those that don’t want to wait or don’t trust batteries from China. I’ve found him/her/them to be reputable and never had an issue. Still using two sets of 25Rs that I bought over a year ago.
Batteries? Are they expensive? Do any of us look for the best deals?
Worried about getting non-authentic batteries, whatever the price?
Best time ever to convince your wife to let you buy a SkyRC MC-3000
'nuff said.
for batteries I always get them from ‘Torchy’ he has a very good reputation for only selling legit batteries, his prices are average but for peace of mind it’s totally worth it, he has an ebay shop…
and I met him at Vapefest where he had a tent selling his stuff, quite well known in the UK

If you sign up for a new account they will send you an email with 10% off. Its also free shipping if you spend $50. They have gorilla cases for (4) 18650 battery’s for $1 a case. I thought of getting 6 of those to hit the $50 free shipping. I also noticed that they have the ijoy limitless plus for $25.99 and get both for $69.39 with free shipping. What to do?? I don’t have the limitless plus yet. They also have the geekvape griffin mini. Both are on my list right now.

This company has a really good deal on Sonys VCT4 right now. And yes they are authentic. This deal is perhaps of biggest interest for our European users since i guess shipping to the US will be pretty high.

The Limitless Plus is one of my favorite tanks, just as long as it is the version that has adjustable airflow and comes with a drip tip.
