I’m running Samsung 25 R5’s in my VTC Mini. I was wondering if either of these 2 would work without doing any harm to my mod?
Can anyone tell me if these would be good mod batteries?
This seems like a deal that’s too good to be true. I didn’t put this in the “Good Deals” thread because maybe it’s not a good battery.
BATTERY GEEKS: A PAIR OF LG D18650HE2 35A 2500mAH BATTERIES - $7.90
They are decent but the Samsung 25rR5’s were rated higher by the communities battery tester and they are only 5 bucks each.
Thanks so much xo I’ll have a look.
Joy check these out. Free shipping too. I’ve ordered from them, decent shipping time and good product.
wow that site has the best prices for batteries it seems. they’re legit as far as not selling fakes? whenever i see prices that low i’m usually hesitant.
They are very legit, possibly the best batt site out there. They test all the batts, order two and get a free case as well. The site was used by the flashlight community for years and they demand the best.
Yea there good, I’ve ordered from them several times. Illumn!!! 
Cool. I need a couple hg 2’s and the cheapest I found was $6.50 if I buy 4. They have them for $6…once they are in stock anyway
The shipping is pretty high with them unless you order over 50$ then it is free. But i ordered 20 new 25rs a couple weeks ago and they got here in three days from the time of order.
I appreciate your help but…
Number 1. Buy batteries from a reputable dealer.
Personally, I don’t shop at EBay. I have my reasons, but I wouldn’t recommend buying batteries from someone you don’t know and trust.
I understand where your coming from, and I have ordered from them and do trust them.
Ken and Cloyce, Is it more safe to buy the lower mAh? I guess if they explode, it doesn’t matter if it’s a 3000 mAh or a 2500 mAh.
Where is the latest info on battery tests? I’d love to see it. Reguardless of price, i’d like to see which ones with a higher mAh are rated most safe. Otherwise, i’m just going to get the Samsung 25rR5’s5
I’ll get a bunch and save on shipping as usual. MyFreedomSmokes used to be my ‘go to’ place, but my old lady crabbiness has cut them out along with FT now. Cloyce, I have bought from MyVapeStore.com before. I’ll have a look and see if they’ve also got something else I need, i.e., Delrin drip tips that are small and/or short. I do NOt like tips that are large and do like bullet shaped ones or those with a small tip. I appreciate you guys help. Still have a son sending me explosion videos. All that vape put down stuff. Hope you all are well and happy. xo
Joy I have the 25r r5’s and they are good, also have lg hg2 3000 mah either battery is a good choice. I have bought the lg he4’s from Ebay for a friend and they are also good.
Just make sure you buy either Samsung, LG, or Sony.
Cant help with drip tips, I’ve been searching for some myself and haven’t found any I like.
Joy you can read and it should help you.

Joy have you tried the search function here on ELR? There is loads of good info at your finger tips.
Illumn is great when they run good sales, but on any ordinary day, I get mine here:

Buy some wraps and rewrap them if they’re not real old
where can you get battery wraps at, or is just safer to replace them. they work good, only 9 months old, with med - light use.
