mine is (10) 18650 and (2)26650 with the plan to recharge every one minimum of 2 times a month.just curious if anyone has this obsession?:)

I run a fair amount in rotation, but they sit well (as long as it's not for TOO long). I charge them when I've run through another. Occasionally, I've let them sit a bit too long, which is a quick remedy issue (charge 'em again).

6cells 18650 and 2cells 21700 and with the way i vape i always charge them all for sure once per week and maybe 2 times cause i never let any battery run until empty in the mod..

All i make sure is i rotate using the cells so there is no way a cell or couple of cells for double bat mod be used twice...

And also when i put them into charger or mod i always make sure the logo of the wraps or the manufacturer codes on the wrap are centered.

10 18650s with use of 2-3 cells a day. There are 2 generally in a charger every 24 hrs. When the weather cools, I'll order some 21700s. I don't want them sitting in hot brick mailbox.
thanks everyone for all this great info.:) do run low amps,with 3 brands of 18's claiming 35 to 3000 mah.my use is similar to a little less to yours.:2cool:

I charge my mods, if possible, through their USB port until it's time to change the coil, generally. When the coil/pod/whatever is worn out, I replace the coil and put the battery on a discharge/charge cycle to refresh it.

I don't know if that's "right" or not, but it works for me.
work for you is your birth right if you claim it. just be prepared to buy more in the future.:matrix:
