Probably a lot of opinions, here is mine..
18350.. I am changing out about every 3 hours
18500... About every 5-6 hours
18650.. 8 hours or so
All of these will go longer, but fresh batteries are best..

all dependant on how you vape :) and the differences sound about right...

i disagree. i think they are a safety feature. ho will you know if you have a faulty charger that is overcharging your batteries? i like my face and fingers ;)

they aren't a safety feature, it is only a tool and one that everyone does not need....for your example, if your charger was overcharging batteries, you wouldnt know until it's too late... aka overheating, discharging or venting...a multimeter cant help you catch it... and IF you had a quality charger to begin with, that wouldn't even be an afterthought... the biggest reason when you are charging, is that you should be keeping an eye on them anyways. they should NEVER be left unattended at anytime. the biggest safety precaution you should take with your batteries, quality charger or not...

I am not saying they aren't helpful, just not needed.

Good Evening, Zen~Friends,

I love it when this thread is happy, as it seems to be tonight.

Congratulations, Classy, I'm so pleased for you. Don't know if you remember or not, but I met you at VapeStock and was sporting my Mini, which, like kcos, I LOVE. Now we is sistas w Minis, lol.

T-Mac, prayers sent your way.

A note for Ripple - I, too, was a little uncomfortable about the whole iHybrid thing. Nothing against ego/faceless or anything. I would enjoy trying out his product. Here's the thing: I don't believe in absolute, unquestioning, blind loyalty to any vendor of anything - everyone should be free to spend their $'s whenever/wherever they choose. So I spent a lot of time analyzing my own discomfort and came to some realizations. I like what Mr. White said some time ago about feeling no need to experiment with every new product coming out 'cause he felt like he finally found something worth keeping forever - the Zenesis. Not that I am closed off to trying new things. But, for me, unlike many others here, my disposable $'s are pretty limited. Which means that when I spend money on one thing, I can no longer spend it on another. So, I have to be very selective. I don't want to be unable to buy that dreamy emerald green, shiny fish-scale Mini with the 5 ml tank, if it ever gets produced. So, I'll save my limited funds to send to Mike for the next latest, greatest thing. Maybe it's different for you, Ripple, but after closely examining my own situation, I've decided not to buy anything from another vendor, nor to spend my money in the Classifieds, when, with patience, I can put my money in Mike's pocket and KNOW I'll be happy I waited.

But more power to all of you that can afford more experimentation. Ya know I loves all ya'll!

i got vape mail today! One of the packages was a Legacy. My ZAP won'tz go ƒar enough down to fire. Anyone else have that problem?

most pv's, you have at least a tiny bit of wiggle room with the center post in the connector... using a small screwdriver or needle-nose pliers you can wiggle up the post a bit (carefully)

now how many vapor folks do you know that are skimping on the charger? i have a pila for the very reasons you bring up, but i think ecf vets have an obligation to be teaching respect for the devices we use.

i agree...and reason I try to answer questions for peeps if they ask. the further peeps go into finding their ultimate vape, the more they need to ask questions and learn ;)

When my 18350 came in, my wife made a comment about the number of batteries / chargers I have in service.. I'm sure some of y'all are worse, but I'm at 15 (7-18650, 4-18500, & 4-18350) & I really feel like I want / need about 4 more 18350's..

and I have 3, and 2 Xtar's that perform admirably as well...when peeps ask for recommendations for chargers, I tell them the PILA, then the Xtar's then give em a run-down on battery charging...
