Many of the Battery gurus don't recommend charging high drain batts via a usb, especially on a laptop. Just something I read into a while back.i beg your pardon

Can't you charge the battery while it's still in the mod?With a name like "IMRs" I think you should go with our good buddy up there! ^^^^^^
Just in case you need more battery choices, these are the ones we have, though we did not get them from this location:

I believe My Freedom Smokes was recently having a 30% off sale on batteries, you might want to check them out and see if they have what you want. We also got a charger, Amazon was the cheapest for a GOOD charger. Don't get the cheapest charger you can find, because if you accidentally put them in upside down, a CHEAP charger does not have any safety features. This can cause big trouble!!! Ask me how I know!!!??
Hint: our first charger is still out in the woods behind our house. I think it is still too close for comfort.
Told Ya, LVM!
Study up just a bit on battery safety. I would not charge batteries of this type while I was sleeping or away from home. That's just me. (Due to who I am married to. I've seen what he can do with super glue, fire, plumbing, electricity .......)
I say, charge 'em at WORK -- who cares if the place burns down!
That looks like the charger we have, too. With a charger and a couple of batteries, you will always have a fresh battery to use when the one in the mod is drained.
They also make safety charging bags that will "contain" any errors. His Royal Highness is probably going to get one for Christmas. HoHoHo.
It's your preference. I have a couple of mods that you can charge via usb but I never do it. And I always have them in the same room when charging so I can see them. Just precautionary. With my ocd, it's just a must for me.
I don't even charge the iSticks when I'm sleeping.

that was an earlier version, imrs
and hopefully, it won't be revisited
But I have a later version of ocd.that was an earlier version, imrs
When you're done with one of those, would you mind taking it apart and telling if that wick looks like cotton or silica? I'm really curious and my attempts to get any information from iSmoka were unsuccessful.
Thanks!
i wouldn't charge any batteries while sleeping or away no matter the charge method. but using the usb charger with a WALL plug should not pose additional risks
that was an earlier version, imrs
Hopefully...
Congratulations, LVM. If you don't own an external charger, you can charge your Cloupor via your USB charger, but please do use a wall wart--not your computer. And never, ever leave your mod unattended while charging. And don't use it as a PT... These are just common sense precautions. Cloupor and iStick 50 have a sad and well documented history of meltdowns. Better be safe than sorry.
And as Nanny said--do read up on battery safety. Batteries store energy. That energy is always trying to find its way out--sometimes it succeeds... And get a plastic box for your battery--never toss it in your purse or pocket unprotected.
Good luck!
They may--or they may not. They may overheat the charging battery. I don't use them, myself. I prefer a stone counter, plenty of air and constant supervision. Just like raising kids--you can't childproof your home 100%, no matter what you do.
But I'm OCD too.
