Coincidentally, I ordered this exact charger on Friday. It's much more expensive, but it says it charges a full 650mah per charging port, so I will be very happy if that is the case as I would expect it to only be a few hours charge versus 10-11 hours my TrustFire takes.

Thanks for the reply. Next logical question is, whats a better charger? I know I got basically what I paid for, but most searches for 18650 chargers all seem to be similar devices.

So, I got my ZMAX and also ordered a Efest 2000mah 18650 battery along with a Trustfire TR001 multifunction charger. Not doing my own digging on these products is of course hindsight, so I wanted to know if this is accurate. My zmax starts reporting a low charge when the battery starts hitting 3.2v or so. I've let the battery sit on this charger for up to 8 hours and never get a green light. Is it true that, while the charger has 500mah as the output on the label, that this is split between the two charging ports, making it only 250mah to each battery that is charging, even if it is only charging one battery? If so, then I suspect it might take anywhere from 8-10 hours to get my 18650 to report 4.2v in the zmax? Thanks for the help in advance!

Aquatroy is right, if you were a heavy smoker, the short battery life of the cig-a-like types will grow old on you quickly. That said, to directly answer your compatibility question, it's all about the threads on your device. Eversmoke uses a KR-808 D1 thread. So, if you wanted to try pre-filled cartos from another company, just make sure they have the same KR-808 D1 threads. As for the batteries themselves, I do not know. Blu cigs used a pretty standard 510 thread, BUT the battery's polarity is reversed, so you could not charge the Blu battery on another brand 510 charger and you could not use another brand 510 threaded battery on the Blu charger. I do not know about the Eversmoke's polarity, so best be on the safe side and just suggest that, if you get a different battery with the same threading, by a new charger with it too. However, I must go back and suggest what Aquatroy said and say you should look for a better vaping starter kit. Discount Vaper has a couple of really good eGo starter kits for right around $50, and the eGo battery is a good starting battery as it supports two thread types: the popular eGo thread which most clearomizer delivery systems use, and also the 510 threads which a lot of carto manufacturers use. Good luck!

Use the link in Rixter's post, SureVapes sells the always-reliable Boge cartos, and I finally dived in and got my 5 box mix n match. If you don't use a tank, you can get the non-prepunched cartos for cheap and are generally more available since most like to get the prepunched ones and those go out of stock very quickly. The dripped cartos are the best way for testing out new flavors before filling up an entire carto or clearo.
