I had one of those chargers. One bay lasted 2 months the other bay lasted 3. They are junk in my opinion.

[cany]

Thanks Comp It does look kinda cheesy lol I just need something to hold me off till the Wife lets me use the CC lol (the cash see no evil hear no evil lol) I should of planned getting the heatvape a little better :wallbash:

[Compenstine]

Xtar makes a decent charger the VC2 for $19.99 is a decent low priced charger or go with a Nitecore.

[Squid]

Luc v4 or the Nitcore UM20 are great chargers. I have both.

[Bebop]

I just got 2 of the efests 2800mah 25R for like 10.50. I like the LUC charger too. Its a good one.

[cany]

Any thoughts on the battery guys  If I get these its just temp till I can get the better stuff

[Earthling789]

I've heard of a lot of people using Orbtronic batteries, but I've not personally used one or even seen one in nearly a year.

 

I "think" the Vamo kits use to come with Orbtronic batteries, but I may be incorrect on that?

[Tam]

Sorry to hear you've been banned from using the credit cards for awhile. 

[cany]

OK I picked up this charger  so far so good but the Orbtronic battery's  dont last so long  by the time I go to bed I will have used up the two battery's  in one day

Looks like a 2 bay version of the LucV4, should work for you.

[cany]

Rixter are these the same as the ones you posted I cant find the post.

I have the 20amp 3100Mah version of those. I love them. The ones you linked to are on sale at batteryjunction.com for 11.95.

[cany]

What does the higher Mah do?

[Tam]

mAh stands for milli-amp hours. The higher the mAh, the more charge your batteries have so you have to charge it less often.

[cany]

So a higher mah  battery lasts longer than a low mah one?

[Tam]

Yes. 

[cany]

Cool Thanks this 2100 one I have dont last long

[Tam]

2100 mAh should last a whole day or more. How fast is it going through a charge?

[Earthling789]

One thing to look out for... higher mAh also means you sacrifice Amp-ratings (discharge).  18650's with 3600mAh capacity generally have < 10A discharge ratings (not to be used with sub-ohm coils).

 

If you want a 20A rated (discharge) battery, you're best mAh ratings will be in the 2500 range... and as Tam indicated, 2100mAh should last a day (or most of it anyway).  I get a full day (sometimes longer) out of my Samsung 25r's (20A discharge / 2500mAh capacity).

[cany]

I might get 12-14 hrs out of it  is that what you guys mean by all day??

[Earthling789]

All day?  If I pop in a fresh battery in the morning, before I leave for work, I still have power left when I go to bed (usually), or at worst-case, I have to put in another battery late in the evening.

 

Since everyone vapes different volumes of juice daily... I'll compare to volume...  One 2500mAh battery usually carries me through two Russian 91% tanks (8-9 ml of juice)... sometimes I get a good start on the third tank-full, but never get a battery go carry though that 3rd tank.

[cany]

Yup all day lol forgot the LL.  I guess my batts lasting about normal then

[Mirage]

I burn thru 2 vtc4's a day. I chain vape hard and heavy though...lol

[Earthling789]

Yeah, heavy use, or use at high Watts will drain them faster...  I run my Russians between 10.5W and 15W, so one 2500mAh battery lasts through two tank-fulls, easily.  I can get through 3 or 4 Aerotank refills on a battery... so still about the same volume of juice (7.5 - 10ml)
