Battery question

[keplin]

Hi

I'm thinking of buying the smok H-PRIV, and I need to know what battery I should buy and how to marry them. Will Samsung INR18650 25R work?

Thanks

Just about any 20 amp (CDR) IMR or INR chemistry 18650-size battery will work. The Samsung 25R 2500mAh 20 amp will work fine.

Mark each pair of batteries in some fashion, and use and charge them together as a "married pair". I recommend two pairs of batteries, therefore you can use the second pair while the first pair are charging in the charger.

I suggest buying a decent battery charger: Does it harm my 18650 battery to charge it thought USB?

Just be sure to insert the batteries in the mod as directed:

Any of the recommended 18650 batteries listed below (middle column) will do and be safe. Some are 20 amps and some are 30 amps; some of the 20 amp models have more mAh (capacity) which will last longer per charge, so you may want to buy some of that model (like the brown LG HG2 or pink Samsung 30Q with 3000mAh).
