[DerekPGH]

so i ordered my chuck and can't wait til its here . but i had a question!? i read thru the battery thread already and couldn't seem to find an answer. I plan on ordering one 18650 and a charger, and i also wanna get 2 RCR123's so i can vape with POWER! i was gonna order from madvapes.com, but i can't seem to tell which ones to order. there are these ones: MadVapes LLC they are the RCR123A, but they say there 3.0 volts. i can't find just an RCR123. they have a CR123 MadVapes LLC there. please help i will be devestated if i have the wrong batteries by the time my chuck gets here!!!! and they also have 2 different 18650, 2400 mah, and 3000 mah. which should i get? thanks guys and gals!

You want the (2) 3v for 6v vaping.
The 18650's 2400 is good, 3000 is better. the mAh is the capacity of the battery.

You will need a 3v charger AND a 3.7v charger for the different voltage batts.

 

[DerekPGH]

thanks jeff. Any idea where to get a 3.0V charger for the 2? mad vapes doesn't have one, or its the on thats out of stock? NOW GET BACK IN THE LAB AND MAKE ME MY CHUCK just kidding of course.

I got one of my sets from BatteryJunction.com Batteries, Battery Chargers, Flashlights, Solar Products & more! and it seemed to get here pretty quick.

UltraFire WF-138A 3.0v/3.6v switchable dual bay lithium-ion battery charger

will that work? says 3.0/3.7

UltraFire WF-138 Multi-Voltage Battery Charger

ECF5 Code for 5% off

This will charge the 3v Li-ion or the 3.7v 16340 Li-ion.

Alternatively, refer to post #16 in this thread if you are interested in getting the LifePO4 batteries and charger. Many people prefer them to the 3v Li-ion RCR123a's

 

[DerekPGH]

why thank you

Might I suggest 2 of the 18650's. (Never depend on only 1 battery )

 

[DerekPGH]

i didn't even think to order an extra one. mannnnnnnnn. i got 2 differnet kinds tho, the 18... and the 2xCR123a so that should help. i'll order another one after i get the chuck

LOL I got 4 for my new (yet to be born) baby ... you can never have too many batteries !!

 

[DerekPGH]

wonder if i can get thee kinda batteries at amazon or best buy? i have gift cards from xmas. and i'm a poor college student, might not be able to eat if i keep buying vaping stuff =-O

 

[DerekPGH]

theres so many different batteries! would a "protected button top" work????????

18650 at Amazon

RCR123 at Amazon

Make sure you get protected ones.

If you haven't ordered yet, you can put your gift card on your account and use it to pay for part of your Chuck. Jeff uses Amazon checkout. That's what I'm doing. My new credit card bill was supposed to be cut today so I've checked 5 times. Finally the points were credited an hour ago so I ordered another gift card. It should arrive by the weekend and I'll be able to order my Little Chuck.

Mad Vapes has 3 different chargers. Any thoughts on which one is best?

 

[DerekPGH]

yea i wish i would've checked amazon first. i ordered batteries from 2 different sites already. LOL. and didn't even think about using my gift card towards the chuck, but i def should've.

You probably should read the reviews on those batteries at Amazon before you spend any money on them.

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: 4 pcs Tenergy Li-Ion 18650 3.7V 2600 mAh Rechargeable Batteries with Internal PCB for flashlights and others

i dunno? 4.5 stars outta 5. seems pretty solid to me.

Both the Chuck, and Little Chuck, work with "button top", or the flat top, batteries.

ahhhh i just got a charger from ikenvape.com cause it was the only place i could find a 3.0v charger for the 16340s, and the owner of the site contacted me saying he's recalling them cause they're charging at very high rates. i literally got his email on my blackberry, then got home and got the charger in the mail. anyone have anyclue where to get a 3.0v charger for 16340s? i also wanted to i know, i ended up with 2 880 mah, and 1 600 mah. could i interchange those and still power the CHUCK? thanks, u guys are awesome
