Hello,
I usually buy batteries from a retail store, for some reason I don't like buying certain things online for my vape one of those things are batteries. Idk why I am like this, I was writing to see if I can get some tips for buying batteries online like are there any websites you all recommend? I'm trying not to have to buy batteries at 15 $ and pop. Thank you all keep calm and vape on !

Thanks! I just ordered 2 of them for 16 bucks for both so much cheaper than 15 bucks each
I get damned near violent when some min wage earning jag off looks at me straight in the face believing 100% that the rewrap chinese pipe bomb in waiting is 35 amp, and not a 15-20 amp maybe.... and stands by the pricing of 15-35 a piece.

I take my business else where since they
a. are ripping people off.
b. too fucking dumb to not to sell dangerous items to anyone.
c. are lucky their mech box is not having a sudden and violent out gassing in their basement dwelling face.

There are some legit sources on ebay (we actually sell on ebay for some of our batteries) but also some that aren't. Even ones with good feedback it can be a crapshoot because it's usually some guy in his garage and maybe the last battery he was selling was good but another one isn't, because he has no way to verify.

That's a good point. And on the website it says with every order I get a free case but in my cart it doesn't show do I still receive one if not I'll buy one.

I wish I would've seen this thread yesterday! I just ordered 4 VTC5's from RTDVapor.com last night! I've always had nothing but great service from those folks, and their reputation is deservedly superb. Always willing to check out other recommended sources though!

Are you saying you verify each battery you sell?

I have used the Efest with no problems but usually get Samsung 25R's. I want to try the LG HG2's but have never used them. I was hoping to get a little more vape time out of them.

I get my Samsungs from Illumn. As well as my chargers from now on. They've never let me down. Prices are good.

Samsung 25r's I can go almost all day on a full charge. And the R5's are said to have a life cycle of 250. These AWTs I got aren't bad either, but I'd still take a Samsung over them.

I get a slight but noticeable improvement over the 25R and something about having a battery that looks like a turd appeals to my twisted mindset.

I have always bought my batteries from RTDvapor.com . Never had a problem with probably over 30 I have bought over the years. Super fast shipping, they were very popular at the other site. They are now shipping their batteries in cases and they send you a free nicer RTDvapor one with your order. ECF5 gets you a discount.

The HG2s are great batteries I can get almost 2 days of use with my Crown tank on my 3Li VR in TC mode. If I was pushing the mod to it's max I would have the VTC4s but no need for me. If you aren't pushing your mods hard then the brown turds are the way to go I'm a believer. I only bought the VTC5s for my Reuleax DNA200 to have a different color and keep them separate.

I think the HG2 is better than the VTC4.. Rated better in terms of mAh and amperage.

Edit: I was wrong. HG2 is rated for 20A.. Apologies
