Thanks a bunch.... Love the avatar!

I applaud the Pila Chargers, but yes, you will need spacers. (I can't say anything against this decision)

I use the XTAR WP6 II 6 bay charger and also use 4 XTAR Spacers per battery and get very good "off the charger" voltage tests of 4.2-4.21V

I have a XTAR MP2 and it's a 2-bay 18350 mini-charger that I love because it's a usb charger, very small, requires no spacers, and it comes with USB/wall-plug and a 12V car charger, but there is some variability to them with regards to final charge voltage. RTDVapor is swapping me for a new one that he has tested that will cap the voltage to 4.20-4.22V because the original one I have seems to want to charge the AW batteries to 4.26V (which will lesson overall battery life). Anything off the charger at 4.25V or higher for AW IMR 700mah is not ideal for longevity on these cells according to the OEM.

If you get an MP2, make sure to test the voltage off the battery to ensure you got a charger closer to 4.2-4.22V on a multimeter, or understand that your batteries might not last as long.

Pulse or minus 90 days LOL U gotta laugh!

I think Zen was taken undue advantage of by the Fates. He based his delivery dates on a belief in a well run Universe, without taking into consideration Murphy's Law which states that 'if it can go wrong, it will go wrong'.......I speak from experience of Mr Murphy as I have had a long and not unremarkable association with him........LOL

Good to know that this thread can go down that slippery slope w/o my help! I'm thinking that if I fill up Zen's inbox with XXX pms it won't get me a ZAP faster, but I may try it! Seriously what I am going to try is his DIY tip right now. Cross your fingers everyone.
I tried it, it is a lot easier, my only succeses w/diy have been menthol and lemon meringue pie, no succes w/carmel, cotton candy, and the berry family,plus..........:):( I forgot i am steeping some tobbaco flavs.

Rubber band?

Normally, I use 4 spacers 100% tightened down per 18350 and normally have no issues, but there is one slot that is more prone to bouncing out a battery because the spring tension or alignment is wonky. I just fiddle with it until spring hits battery and stays put, if all else fails use something heavy to keep it down or try 3 spacers untightened to lesson the tension on that slot.

Or a rubberband seems elagant & simple.

I re-organized, re-ordered the spacers and its much better now

Capella strawberries and cream experiment:
1 drop - nothing
2 drops - nothing
3 drops - maybe something but can't tell what
4 drops - same as 3

putting my tank and carto back on the provari and watching game of thrones.

I am curious about the experiment. If capellas normally gets used at 15% then that few drops would probably not have much flavor.

I am going to be watching this experiment closely.
