Big noob question - even if I go with the pro C, I still need to purchase batteries and the charger kit that Baditude mentioned before right. No plugging the pro C directly right?
I know of 1 manufacturer who includes external batteries with their products. All others don't. So yes, you still have to buy batteries. However, if you're fine with charging your device through USB at the PC, no additional charger kit is needed. The Pro C Kit has a USB cable included. However, if you think you need a USB wall charger kit for like 2-3$, you'll have to buy that one, too.

Might as well give it a shot, I can also get the batteries @Baditude linked to from there

@HazyShades
Yup, we are the little ones :D, did send a message to them.
When you are referring to mods, you are referring to the one for external battery right? The 18650 seems to be available here, maybe FT too might work for me. Do you think this is authentic (I know its just a link, just your opinion!) - Authentic LG HG2 3000mAh (A-Grade 18650 Battery) - VapeMantra
It's hard to tell if that's an authentic HG2 or just a nicely wrapped fake :) but it looks exactly like a couple of my HG's
Yes Sir, when I say mod I mean any device that powers a tank or RDA's coil in order to evaporate juice.
I even refer to vape pens as mods..the term comes from when many vaping devices were MODIFIED
flash lights (torches) and mechanical.

I suggest that you don't buy your batteries from fasttech as the order will take for ever to arrive.
I'm not sure if ebay.india sells batteries but it's worth a looksie (ebay is a great place to buy vaping stuff inexpensively)

The image looks right, and the specifications are accurate. Given the limited resources available to you, I'd probably chance it to be authentic. However, no one can say for sure if a battery is authentic unless you buy from a trusted reputable battery supplier. There are a lot of counterfeiters who are very good at their trade.

We generally recommend buyers use a known trusted reputable battery supplier like these, but they don't all ship everywhere in the world.

    There are no 'USB wall charger' kits. The unit one plugs into an electrical outlet is simply an AC to DC inverter. The charger itself is part of the circuitry in the mod. Wall warts (as they're sometimes called) are a lot cheaper to replace than a PC if the charger in the mod or the USB cable becomes defective and renders its' power supply defective. I, and most others here, would recommend an external battery charger.

    @Baditude @HazyShades @tailland
    I could not order the batteries from FT. When I try to check out there is no option for me to choose for shipping. So that is a bummer ! Will try out local vendors, I guess battery wise that is best!

    @Baditude
    Cycling back to the kroma/zenith reco, I guess that is an in built battery right? So this whole replaceable battery is not going to work with that right? So is it worth to purchase just the zenith tank? If so, how can I figure out what mods that will go with. For example can it work with the eGo pro C that @tailland has recommended. How exactly do I figure out plug and play compatibility?? Sorry if this is a super noob question

    @tailland
    Aliexpress FTW. I placed an order for a $16 joyetech (surprisingly only orange was at that price, rest were 20!! and I love orange :D ) and a bunch of 0.25 ohm coils (Buy Products Online from China Wholesalers at Aliexpress.com)
    Fingers crossed I suppose :)

    If you look for such a device, googling for "usb wall charger" will simply throw you the most results. Apparently, that's what they're called.

    I purchase stuff from aliexpress often. A couple of vendors just today shipped some lotus seeds I bought
    (we'll see if they get through US Customs), but I've bought a lot of vaping gear from Alie, the eVic Primo
    I'm using as I write came from them. The actual vendor was Heaven Gifts. It cost less on Alie than at Heaven Gifts and the shipping was free (Heaven gifts charges shipping on their website store)

    The pro c is a true aio and the tank doesn’t look like it can be removed. The zenith would work with the Cascade plus device and you would likely get better battery life with the zenith.

    Yes, the Kroma has a built-in non-replacable internal battery. It is charged by a microUSB cord.

    You can put the Zenith tank on most battery devices that use a typical 510 connector.

    However, I'm not sure if the Pro C has a 510 connector or how well the Zenith tank will work on the Ego Pro C if it indeed has a 510 connector. It's one of those "all in one" battery/tank setups that uses a dedicated tank designed specifically for the Ego Pro C. The Pro C is not variable wattage, which means it has but a single wattage setting. You won't be able to set your setting higher or lower like with most regulated mods.

    Thanks for that. But how do I, in general, check for compatibility between devices? Just to read up in case there is something to be learnt there. Also is there any advantage to getting the zenith tank? Does it score over the cascade tank? Or is having an extra tank better overall?
