charger, battery question

[Govt Mule]

So I have this vamo kit and I don't know anything about the batteries or the charger. I also want to get 18650 battery,will it work with this charger. And where is a good place to get one pretty cheap not from fasttech please. https://www.fasttech.com/products/1350600

Yes 18650 batteries will fit in that charger how ever that being a cheap type you need to charge two at the same time. I suggest buying one battery and a better quality charger. If you have the money invest in a nite core charger or at least a trust fire charger. I get my batteries from eBay just search Imr 18650 and look for efest brand or Panasonic cgr18650. Also the charger can be found on eBay. Or gotvapes.com has the new efest smart charger and nice efest batteries

I can charge one 18350 at time.is it just the 18650 that you have to charge 2 at a time? Thanks for the suggestion!

It will charge one but its recommended on that type of charger to charge 2 at the same time because the bays are not separated like better quality chargers always keep those 18350 together. I would use them in the mod until dead and charge them up together. The smart chargers have separate bays so each battery charges independently. Plus they have protection on them to keep everything inside safe working limits.

That's why I need an 18650 all I have now is two 18350's and I keep rotating them in shorty mode. I need some more batteries I guess

 

[chrisromano590]

A wise investment would be to pick up some quality batteries and a charger and it will last you a while. Fast tech has two panasonics cgr18650 on their site, witch are all I use now. There grey in color. And a charger that's called jet beam intelligent charger, which should do you just fine

You can also stack the two 18350 together in the vamo to use it in long mode.

Thanks, ya I'm to impatient to wait on fasttech again, I'm gonna try and find a good deal in the us.

I think FastTech is worth the wait. I've ordered from them on three occasions and received all orders within 10 days at worst.

The Nite Core I4 charger I got from them is top notch, and the best batteries are these:
$16.29 Panasonic NCR18650B Rechargeable 3400mAh 3.7V 18650 Lithium Batteries 2-pack - authentic cells / 2-pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Altsmoke is in Ohio and a good vendor.
They should get it to ya pretty quick!

The Xtar WP2-II charger is a good charger. One of the faster chargers for charging 18650's.

Some good IMR batteries as well:
AltSmoke.com - AW IMR18650 2000mAh LiMN Rechargeable Lithium Battery

Yeah Fasttech has better deals on batteries (Panasonic) and Nitecore chargers.
The ones StuKlu linked are not the ones you want though....

While these may work, i do not believe they are the safer chemistry. I would use the following as they are highly recommended, or AW.

$10.51 Panasonic CGR18650CH Rechargeable 2250mAh 3.7V 18650 Lithium Batteries 2-pack - authentic cells / 2-pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Also from what i hear the faster charger and most reliable charger for the money is the Xtar. Good Luck!!
