Wish I had seen that^^yesterday. Oh well, I still got a pretty good deal on 6 batteries and a charger for $35.

Actually, someone should start a coupon code thread that can be updated daily by users who got the scoop. Just for Chucks forum. Kinda like a bonus for being Chucked.

For anyone who has the Ultrafire WF-139 charger, it says in the description:
NOTE: RCR123 batteries require 15mm charging spacers, available separately below.
Just want to make sure that these spacers are absolutely required and that they are "safe" and all.

The spacers are no big deal..they're just milled pieces of aluminum..
I use a different charger but it's made the same...and the batteries are too short to contact both posts on the charger..you could stack dimes between the positive end of the battery and the charger connection...but the spacers are just easier..
Thanks so much! I'm about to order all AW batteries to replace my Ultrafire ones and I'm replacing the charger I got. One of my 16340s got some of the outer coating ripped off, so I just threw it away.
Anyone know of a discount code for lighthound?
Edit: I found one, cpf for 2% off

I've also heard that magnets work very well as spacers.
Magnetic Spacer for Charging CR2 or 14250 Battery
I've got the 15mm spacers from lighthound...they work just fine..
another place you can check is CPF (candlepowerforum) the AW dealer sells direct from there through paypal..slightly more difficult to navigate but you can do a good price comparison..
Here's the AW guy's sales thread:
AW's LiIon Batteries Sales Thread *Part 11* - CPFMarketPlace
The first post made battery purchasing seem so simple but the following have me a bit confused to which are the absolute best to buy.
I wanted the safest and best quality batteries for my future chuck and little chuck and I would like to get both types for chuck so I have the option of vaping at either voltage.

I'm getting there -- having read everything 23 times.
1) Make sure the batteries you get are rechargeable
2) If you get li-ion batteries, make sure they are "Protected."
3) LiFeP04 and LiMN batteries are a different form of lithium battery and they are more stable (or more whatever) than li-ion batteries so they don't come in protected versions.
I'm getting the Little Chuck. I bought protected 18350s (only available at MadVapes) and AW's LiMN 16340s from LightHound.
I got the 18350s before the latest round of "your mod will explode" hysteria. I like the fact that they have a higher mAh than the 16340s (aka RCR123As) so I won't have to change batteries as often. But at this point I think I'll mostly use the LiMNs.

Very nice...that pretty accurately sums things up..the high drain LiMNs should be very nice and perform very well...and I'll think you'll be surprised...I'd expect them to last about long as the higher mAh rated ones (the generic *Fire brand trends to be over rated for their mAh rating while the AW batteries tend to be more "true"...example my 14500 batteries...my 3.7V 750mAh AW battery lasts longer than my Ultrafire 3.6V 900mAh battery)
One thing I would add....if you're going to go with regular Li-ion CR123a (16340) batteries...consider spending the little bit of extra $ and get the AW CR123a ...they have an extra layer of protection than just the PCB...they have something called a PTC in it as well...esentually the PCB protects the battery from overcurrent, undercurrent and shorts...the PTC protects against overheat and over pressure..and will effectively "snap" the connection between terminals on the battery thus stopping any chemical reaction..
I just got the AWs in yesterday and have been using the 18650 in the Chuck all day and it's still going strong and it does seem to hit stronger. Been using 2 of the AW 3.6s in my GLV and they go strong all day, too, unlike my Ultrafires did. Bottom line, the AWs rock.
i've read this ....i promise!
maybe...too much coffee this morning?
is this the right battery?:
3.7 volt aw 18650 3000 mah limn protected batt.?
one in the chuck and one on the charger = 2 batt's needed for lil chuck?
where is the place to get these?
thanks so much in advance for any help !

Little Chuck uses a 18350 or 16340.
If you want a 18350 you can get the protected ones at madvapes. If you want 16340 batteries (AW), you can get them at lighthound. Sorry I can't post links yet.

Battery shopping this week
Lemme get this straight, 1 AW CR123a for little chuck, a pair of the same to vape at 6v for Big Chuck
and then the 18650 to vape at 3.7 for big chuck?
Right?

Does anyone happen to know what the shelf life for these are?
Now that I'm getting my mod collection streamlined.. it's time to go into paranoia mode and start stockpiling for the future... be it nuclear armaggedon, FDA armageddon etc.
