The ECA for the eVic, I really do not like, needs cleaning often and creates a vacuum that does not allow liquid to the coil, so you have to remove the tank often (this creates a dry hit).

also like to retract my statement, still has the vacuum issue sometimes, but I thinned out my liquid with more PG and working better.
Was using 50/50, now about 60/40 ish, did not measure it.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!

You don't want ANY battery that ends with "Fire" in the brand name.

Spend the extra money and get AW or Efest high drain IMR batteries and an Xtar, Nitecore, or Pila charger... Anything else, and you are only crippling yourself!

I would say "Trust Me" but no need to trust ME... You could start a riot around here talking about using protected anyFire batteries in a regulated APV! :D

This is what you want...

Any of the batteries on that link that are AW or Efest IMR batteries of the correct size. I can also endorse the Panasonic CGR18650CH Hybrid, but in my experience they don't outperform the AW 2000 mAh battery.

For a charger, you want...

Anything from the link that is Xtar, Nitecore or Pila. The Efest brand is also good, as they are rebranded Xtar and Nitecore chargers. Don't get any of the anyFire branded chargers... They are a catastrphy waiting to happen.

I am personally using an Xtar WP2 II charger, and it is fantastic. All I use are AW IMR's. I have used Efest and Panasonic CGR's in the past with good results.

I have used one Trustfire charger that starting smoking real bad ON THE FIRST USE... Never again... And also one UltraFire battery that failed after using it in a Lavatube V2... Anything with Fire in the name is pure junk!
