    Any vape shop should have them in stock - they are the standard batteries used in vape mods

    Good to know. I usually get them off eBay. Cheap, but you wouldn't want to be in a hurry for them.

    Nkon.nl for the batteries. Be very careful using 18650 batteries off aliexpress or the likes as they are usually clones

    That's why I am asking. A lot of batteries out there are rubbish. And stated power levels are incorrect.

    you can buy from here as there are user reviews to go on for the items but allow a month

    https://www.fasttech.com/category/1420/search/-/p/0?f=-&keywords=18650+battery&sort=p

    the more expensive ones allow for safe continuous high amperage discharge (which the likes of powerful vaping devices might need)

    3000mah is pretty much the max possible energy storage in an 18650 so don't believe anything over that.

    Try get Samsung's 30q battery they have a pink wrap on them and should be in most Hale vaping shops around the country.

    Use nkon then. Everything is genuine and you can buy some serious batteries. Delivery is usually 2 days. And the more you buy the cheaper they are

    Don't go for anything from Aliexpress or Fasttech you'll be waiting ages. I vape and I'd use these https://www.18650.ie/ if I was you.

    shipping seems not too bad (€2.50) on that site so not a bad option alright if you need the batteries quick

    they really should improve the site tho - that stupid battery bar animation keeps loading when you click on anything.

    this one is a solid option

    Very common battery in security panels. Go into any shop and they'll have them.
