On the subject of chargers, I am now running two of them--a Nitecore Inteliicharger D4 and an xtar VC2. I got the D4 because it will also charge LiFePo4 and NiMh batteries as well as 18-series IMR. I REALLY like the VC2 because it tells me how efficiently my batteries are being used. Since different mods are in use consistently during the course of the day, it can sometimes be hard for me to tell what has gotten how much use. By being able to see, in mAh, how much charge the individual batteries is taking is a big help toward finding out how well the batteries are performing. I will post some pics in a few...
So I just re-wicked the KFL+. I'm definitely getting better at wicking. The bottom piece with the build deck was kind of difficult to uncsrew. Before I put it all back together, I put food grade mineral oil on the threads. One of you suggested that a while back and I stored it in my memory banks for future reference.
Carry on remembering cars of past and fields of dreams!

Looking to convert a coworker this weekend ... sending this home with him this weekend.
Provari, 3 batteries, charger and 2 freshly loaded IBTanks with a couple of my ADVs made @ 18mg.

I think what you're doing is wonderful. When I was struggling with using cigalikes, but still smoking a guy I didn't even really know walked up to me one day and handed me a brand new eGo, with a carto tank filled with juice. That's when I realized vaping could be my solution and the rest is history.
Again, what you're doing is great and I hope your coworker appreciates it.
All this talk of chargers and I can't believe that nobody mentioned the Pila charger. While I don't see it on the Provape site now (they used to carry it), it was considered the top end for quality just a couple of years ago. It's a simple 2 bay charger that just works, without all the bells and gadgets that aren't really needed since we have the IQ feature on the P3. I've had mine for 2.5 years and it's still going strong, without fail or issues.
It's an option worth looking to.

I think Pila still has an excellent rep. Just happen to hit a Xtar streak here.All this talk of chargers and I can't believe that nobody mentioned the Pila charger.

Dang - I already bought the other one. Maybe I'll try to cancel...
I have a short list of vape related companies that I use with 100% confidence:
Provape
Mt Baker Vapor
RTD Vapor

So I have the below intellicharger that I have loved for close to a year now:
NiteCore -i4-V2014 NEW 2014 version Intellicharge Universal Smart Battery Charger for Li-ion / IMR / Ni-MH/ Ni-Cd Amazon.com: NiteCore -i4-V2014 NEW 2014 version Intellicharge Universal Smart Battery Charger for Li-ion / IMR / Ni-MH/ Ni-Cd: Electronics
Is the below VP4 really any better at charging? I see it shows the volts/etc. I'm known to sometimes forget to remove me batteries and leave them charge overnight (I try not to but forget sometimes). Is the VP4 any safer for instances such as this? The batteries are never warm and always completely cool to the touch when this happens with the Intellicharger. Since safety is paramount, should I invest in this VP4? (I know it's safest to not forget to remove, but hey, I'm a busy guy and got a 2 year old that frequently distracts me...)
Just looking for your honest opinions. Again - I've been loving and have no issues with my Intellicharger thus far.

I used an I2 for almost a year.
I always thought it felt cheap but it was recommended on ecf so it must be good right?
I got another for a backup, it broke in about a month. I replaced the backup with a LUC.
I PIF'd the I2s to a disabled buddy as soon as I got the XTAR.
It showed me what a good charger should be.
His I2s eventually croaked.
I think the XTAR is worth every penny.

I'm sold!
"That was easy"
Now my only decision is VC4 or VP4. I'll chew on that overnight... Each seems to have their advantages.

Just ordered a VP1 then saw this post so had to go back and double check. The VP1 does have a switchable charging function for .25,0.5 and 1.0 amps by the press of a button on the front. The only differences I saw were the price,26650 support and USB output for charging other devices. I was about to get the VP2 for the USB charging but according to Vaperev you can only use it when it's unplugged and it uses power from an installed battery to charge via USB. Makes no sense to me at all why they would design it like that.
That's amps.
the VP2 has the ability to charge different voltage batteries as well.
You have to set a switch on the back for your type.
For our purposes it is not a plus.
The VP1 is more foolproof.
