battery help......

[Coffee Addict]

I need help with my batteries.
I bought the 2 ifr14250 to put in my mini.
now I need to know about charging them.
On the side switches do I use 3.7 or 3.2 volts and 300 mA or 650 mA

I have the ultra fire wf 188 charger.
And should I not be using LR atties with this set up?

I don't know anything about ifr14250's, I use IMR 14500's and they charge at 3.7V.
Everything I need to know is printed on the battery itself...3.7V and 600mah.
I'm sure a battery guru will be here soon with advice about 14250's.
Sorry.

The only batteries I see recommended are the 14500's-

you want to use the lower setting for volts and mah. the ifr 14250 are only 3.2 volts so thats your setting and you should not charge a 200 mah batt at too far above the rating so go with your chargers lowest setting

Like Della Cirque said I only use the IMR 14500s for my mini. I have the same charger as you and I use 3.7 and charge it at 300Ma. They always seem to carry the perfect voltage after I take them off the charger. I was recommend RTDvapor to buy my batteries from and I couldn't be happier because Randy provides great customer service.

And, yes Coffee...you should NOT use LR attys or cartos. You're using high voltage vaping and should use regular or HV attys. LRs will die too quickly (and suck your batteries down too quickly) or pop.

A lot of good info here and agree about the atties and that the batts should be charged at the 300 mah setting. Also, Ohm's Law can't be avoided in any situation. If you were to use a 1.5 ohm atty at 6V then it will produce a whopping 24 watts of power. Which will blow your head off and pop the coil at the same time LMAO!

Here's a link for the Ohm's calculator that I use:

Ohm's and Joule's Law Calculator

It REALLY comes in handy. Anyways, I would highly suggest that you get some Cisco HR 306's. They work great at 6V:
