OK the most I know about batteries is when the flashlight goes out you go to the store and get a pac of Duracells. Now with the Xhaler I've got these 2 little 3v batteries and if I want to vape at 3.7 I need different batteries.

Now Drew has some long 3.7 batteries with charger for sale on his site but I'm taking it their not for the Xhalers seeing they look to long and I keep hearing something about a dummy battery along with a 3.7 one. So what would I need if I wanted to vape 3.7 from my Xhaler. "shaking head" I'm so confused..

And where would I get it.

Those long ones are the 17670 3.7v batteries that will work with the Xhaler as there the same length as 2 3.v RCR123a batteries.

I'm not sure but if you recently ordered a Xhaler with the vinyl coating in the past couple of weeks the tube should of been honed (widend inside) to fit the extra 1-2mm to fit the battery. Some of the originals could fit them and some were too tight.

Originally Drew used the short 3.7v batteries with a dummy spacer so you could use the short 3.7v battery at 3.7 volts. Though your better off with the long 3.7v battery as its a long lasting battery at 1800mAh. Shouls last 2+ days on a full charge.

I'm not sure if the painted Xhalers have been honed or not as Drew mentioned that the ones already painted could not be honed as it would bubble the paint from the heat.

So i'd order up a pair or more of those 17670 batteries!

Originally the XH was setup for the smaller 3.7 batteries with a spacer battery. It was then discovered that this particular longer 3.7 battery would also fit most xhalers. Drew then had his remaining xhalers honed a tiny bit to make sure they would fit. So for 3.7 volts you can go with the 17670's Drew sells at his site. The charger that comes with it will also charge the smaller size 16340 3.6 batts which can be doubled up to use with a HV atty and achieve the 10 watt vape. Drew no longer carries the 16340's but they can be found at Battery Junction. I just ordered a few more in anticipation of my 1st HV 510 atty that's on it's way.

For std 3.7v vaping, the best and longest lasting option is the 17670 batteries he sells.

Hope that helps clear this up a bit for you.

I got the copper painted one, but I think its one of the ones that was honed out. I'd kind of like to be able to vape 3.7 at work where I can throw it and a couple of carts in my pocket and be good to go all day. As it stands right now I'm packing about 3 510's a PCC and extra carts and it get to be a PITA at work when I'm busy.

OK I think I've got it now, the 2ea. 3.7 batteries and charger that Drew sells is what I want.

Thank you all.

Yep, good deal on the 2 and the charger as well!

Yeah just taking one battery with ya and the Xhaler and toss in a couple of carts and your set! Much easier.
