Charger Question

[themysterious1]

Hello guys I just bought a VV Reo and now I need a charger for the 18350 batteries. I have a xtar WP2 charger for my 18650 but it doesnt say it charges 18350 batteries so I guess I am in need of a charger for them. Can somebody suggest a charger? I thought my charger would I have spacers for it? Thanks for the help. Also what would be a good atty to use? I am going to get a rebuildable but need something to hold me over till I can get one and get comfortable building them.

I have that charger. There are threaded spacers for like 50 cents each.

BRB with a link.

XTAR Charger Spacers - Battery Chargers 45 cents. So cheap you should get another battery or some kanthal to make it worth shipping

I have that charger too and use it for everything in the 18xxx and 14500 too, just change spacers as needed.

I also have that charger but have the newer version the WP2 II and no spacers needed. If you have the older version you do need spacers for the 18350's.

2.5 ohm super shorty cartos are what I'd reccomend for the VV Grand. That is, until you get up and running with a bottom feeder compatible rebuildable atty.

Spacers for your WP2 charger are all you need to charge 18350's, but the Xtar MP2 charger is ideal for recharging 18350's, so check it out if you'd consider buying an additional charger to dedicate to your 18350's.

Or if you want a spare for work like I did.

The reo lets me be lazy...so I needed a charger here since I don't carry all the stuff I used to.

Thanks I think for now I will use my charger with the spacers so I can put that money away to get my rebuildable. How about some thoughts of atties for the time being?

i strongly recommend this one
Xtar XP4 - Battery Chargers

 

[RattlerX]

XTAR VP1 - I really like the digital readout when charging.

Thanks for the help. Now all I need to do is save some money for a rebuildable. LOL Wont be long I will get the cheaper stuff in the mean time like wire and cotton.

Both the original WP2 and the WP2 II both require spacers for for any battery shorter than an 18650. Perhaps you are thinking of a different model?

To fit an 18350 securely you will need two spacers per channel. If it's a WPII 2 be certain you have the charger current set to the .5A (500 mA setting) for 18350's.

It's a great charger, really no technical reason to replace it.

I run a Nitecore i4 and it's a great charger. I keep 2 xtar WPII's as backups

I've run the Nitecorp i4 for over 1 1/2 years now without a problem. With both me and my wife vaping multiple mods it gets a real workout.

I charge 14500s and 18490s in mine with no spacer all the time.

That's my work charger.
