Battery Confusion

[lelly]

I would like to try out some new batteries on my grand. I have been using the aw imr 18650's from RTD vapor with the Ultrafire WF-139 charger. On the site it says that this charger requires a 15mm spacer for the 123 batteries, which is the type of batteries I would need for 6V vaping? What do I use/where do I buy a spacer? I would like to try 6V and 5V and need some clarification as to which batteries I would need and if I could use my current charger. These were the ones I was looking at but I am still a bit confused:

5V: 5 Volt NIMH 600mAh Battery for The Meglodon OR 5 Volt NIMH Battery for The Mako Maksi

6V: 1300 mAh CR123A Battery (PAIR) OR LIFEPO4 CR123A 500mAh 3.0V (Pair)

Can someone tell me if I am on the right track, what the differences are, if this is a good site to order from, and if I would need any additional chargers?

EDIT: I have a credit at Madvapes and was hoping to order from them, but they don't carry the special charger required for the 5V battery?

The 5v for the Megledon is the correct battery and can only be charged on a special charger for the 5v battery

The 3v LIFEPO4 are the correct battery (check the actual size and make sure that they are actually small enough to stack in the space you have), but can only be charged on a 3v charger (the WF-188 has a switch for 3v and 3.7v charging)

Neither can be charged on the WF-139 which can only be used on 3.7v batteries.

The 1300 mAh batteries are unprotected LI-Ion and should not be used in ANY mod.

I agree with mlinky she got it going on. Also, you will want to use a standard resistance Atty or hv atty....

RTD (Randy) Has the 5volt batteries and chargers on the way in. I would imagine sometime this week from what he hinted at.
The aw lifepo-4 500mah batts he has and a wf-188 will give you 6v capabilities. That charger will charge 3.0/3.2/3.7 volt batts.
This charger and these batts...Ultrafire WF-188 Lithium Battery Charger
AW LiFePO4 RCR 123


Or the tenergy lifepo-4 batts and charger set can be found on amazon.com like this set...

thankyou for the help everyone. all the numbers get kind of confusing to me! I had a great experience ordering my 18650's from RTD vapor, his shipping was very cheap to canada and took only a week so I think I will hold out on him getting the 5volts in. Just curious, I have a bit of a stockpile of Joye 510 SR atties that I want to try out, I think 5V would be OK, but I think I read somewhere that the Joye 510s are 2.3 ohms (don't have a meter so can't check) so I couldn't use them on 6 volt?

They'd be perfect for 5v, maybe a little hot with 6v. I've personally never tried'em at 6v but I swear I've heard other's in REOville have lelly.
Randy is a hell of a nice guy to deal with. He is also a REOnaut, so he can answer questions about what will work with what, via pm.
