Battery help

[Ruby]

Hi all I have a OBS cube X which I bought a little while ago along with 2 batteries which say they are 18650 3000mAh 3.7v. I want to get some more batteries. Can anyone recommend a good battery or make of battery to look for for vaping or where to get some. I’m a little dubious about going for any cheaper ones that I’ve seen. Recommendations would be appreciated
Thanks

The only real (reliable) choices for cells are fogstar.co.uk or 18650.uk - there's just no point going elsewhere.

Molicel from fog star. There’s usually a discount on Fridays.

Molicel P26A or Samsung 30Q depending on the wattage you vape at. Under 40w = 30Q and Over 40w = molicel. IMHO.

Little on the low side.
A battery rated at the following CDR Values should be good for using at the following wattage when talking about a single battery mod.
CDR of 15A = 40W
CDR of 20A = 50W
CDR of 25A = 65W
CDR of 30A = 80W
There is a little headroom on these figures.
Edit...... the Molicel in some websites rate this battery as 35A CDR, some others rate this as a CDR value of 25A. There should be no problem using this battery at 65 -70W

The Sony VTC5A and Samsung 25S are also very good batteries
