International Vaping - Are my batteries going to go kaput?!

[tteabags]

I'm going to China for a month, to study abroad. I've been there before and have experienced the "frying out" of an electronic appliance or two, even with an adapter. So...I am a little frightful when to comes to recharging my (precious) 18350 batteries. Does anybody have any charger recommendations? Cause I would HATE having to resort back to smoking for a whole month, as a last resort.

I think you will need a power outlet strip ahead of your charger and batteries. fasttech sells them. With a built-in reset fuse, you should be fine. I can't recommend any product that I've personally used, and haven't made it to China yet, but have seen them a while back on FT. Good luck, sounds like a great trip. Welcome to the Forum. All the best.

I have a black Targus brand adapter with which I used to charge my batteries in addition to the batteries' original charger. You could adjust the power source output on those and has many countries' plug heads on it. I used it whenever i go back to Swansea, Wales or to Hong Kong to visit relatives. Never used it in the mainland though beside in Shenzhen (near HK border). Ive had no problems so far with charging CR123a batts.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll definitely look into them. If all else fails, I have do have an adapter for my laptop; hopefully I could charge my batteries with the USB cable, if anything.

in worst case since your already there, just run over to fasttech and pick up a couple egos if you need them lol

Check the label on the charger, if it's support 100 ~240... all you need is little plug converter.

But any corner store where you stay would have some... I'm sure.

Have fun while you're there!

Cheers

Haha yeah seriously. I was going to pick up some NJOY kings for the plane ride over, just because I don't feel entirely safe carrying on one of my mods.

I'm constantly on the road and hate yet more cables or adapters... so I carry an XTAR MP1S. It charges a single 18xxx, it's miniscule (barely bigger than an 18650), and it's the only charger I found whose input is USB. And I'm sure you'll be carrying a PC and/or universal USB charger.

I actually have the Xtar MP2, the version for 18350s. Great charger, only downside, and this is entirely my fault perhaps is that the USB cable went kaput. I'll also be bringing The Boom (with DNA) from shan mods; it uses a micro USB cable.
