18650 in the uk

[Zutankhamun]

Hey guys anybody know of any good 18650 battery vendors in the uk? Are stores like ukecigstore safe?

Google torchy the battery boy or failing that go to myepack same goods better prices I find ukecigstore are more expensive on a lot of stuff they shouldn't be so don't use them. If you look for Samsung 25r or lghe2 you'll get plenty of results with many reputable venders another that tends to charge at the higher end is c9v. I use myepack and can't praise them enough for service, speed and general way transactions are so smooth.

Cheers @Rizzyking As long as they are reputable and sell safe batteries I don't mind if they are a little expensive. Myepack has vtc4's and vtc5's. I thought that there was a huge backlog. Are you sure they're legit?

I second the MyEpack recommendation.Their service is excellent.

I also recommend PureMist in Northern Ireland if you're looking for some Samsung 25Rs. A pair will cost you £9.99, though due to the bank holiday they won't be open again until Tuesday.

Myepack are 100% legit and one of the best company's to buy from, damn I sound like a salesman for them lol.

Ha. Just a bit. K well that's two recommendations. Sounds good. By the way, I heard that vtc5's are 20 Amp as opposed to the 30 A that everyone says. Is that true?

 

[Rizzyking]

No I think the vtc4 is 30amp as well just lower mah then the vtc5 I'll check brb.

 

[Rizzyking]

Yep it's a 30amp continuous discharge battery just 2100mah as opposed to the vtc5 2600mah.

+1 to what @Big Me said....

VTC5's are 20A.
VTC4's are really 20A too but can be pushed fairly safely to 30A.
