Brand New Batteries - Is There Anything I Need to Do Before I Start Vaping?

[maravilla]

I just wanted to confirm what I believe I have already found the answer to (although I have seen some conflicting answers):

All I have to do with brand new batteries is charge and use them. I don't have to (and shouldn't) cycle or condition the batteries in any way.

If someone could validate this, I would be very grateful. BTW, I have the MNKE I MR 26650 3.7V 3500mAh High Drain Rechargeable Batteries, but I believe my question applies to all batteries that are used for vaping.

That would be correct!

As long as you charge them fully before first use then you should be good to go. Just make sure you don't push your batteries too far though. It's not good to fully drain the batteries for safety reasons i.e battery venting, exploding those kinds of things LOL, but congrats on the new batteries hope they work out for ya! VAPE ON!

I take a Sharpie marker and put the date I got them...

Myself, i put my multimeter on the battery just to see where the voltage is.. its a practice that has become a habit for me now.

Relax - jut fully charge and don't let them get too low. It's all good!
