Is this charger any good?

If ever that you see that I have put out incorrect information, please PM me with information (links) to support that, and I will gladly update my information.

I'm not still in that place in life.

I don't have the time to do that.

And if I do, I'll be risking your life and the lives of your loved ones.

I've corrected your info more than enough for you to take an interest.

Some of which you've later changed your stance on.

I'm not doing the links or it's not legit dance.

I didn't want it to have to come to this beckdg , but i feel your response is overly harsh to my lifelong pal "Baditude", (a complete stranger to me actually"), so i am now officially challenging you to an all out brawl to the death using prehistoric weaponry .

Do you accept?

Should I duck?

Should I duck?

Depends on the answers to the following questions.

Will stacking batteries automatically qualify you for a Darwin award?

Do higher resistance builds have a longer ramp up time?

ETA; More to come.

Do we sometimes take vaping too seriously?

I am a huge safety advocate, but I think sometimes our discussions border on fanatical

I, too, am going to run and hide.

2+ yrs of incorrect battery information.

And challenging it is fanatical?

You wanna see fanatical, check out RC or electric bike forum battery discussions.

Things have been let slide here since the beginning... and the fanatical fear mongers have been given a free pass.

There, it won't get a free pass past the first post.

No need for a brawl, but I'm usually open for an honest debate. I did feel somewhat attacked by beckdg's comments, and invited him to point out any specific information that I have posted that is incorrect, and I would gladly make changes once that I confirmed the sources or references. He said he doesn't have the time for that, so that pretty much sums up our problem. If you can't back it up with specific references, then don't attack me or my reputation.

Everything that I post can usually be backed up with references. If something is an opinion of mine, I usually state it as such or give the icon.

Just what is an "expert", anyway? Do they have to have a college degree in the subject? I've read posts on this forum by so-called experienced certified electricians with degrees in electrical engineering, and based on their comments they didn't know squat about 18650 batteries. Do they have to work in the field of selling batteries. I doubt that the Radio Shack or Batteries Plus employee knows much about the batteries that we use in vaping. And having worked for a year in a vape shop, I can attest that most vape shop employees know less about batteries than most customers; their job is merely to sell the batteries they have in stock. So, who you gonna believe?

I guess I'm not understanding what you mean? What information has been incorrect on this forum?

My fanaticism statement was more about the dual, lol!

I'm also not in complete agreement that Xtar chargers are the only ones worth buying. Either that, or I guess I'm an idiot. Yes, you're going to tell me I'm an idiot. People here tell me that all the time so nothing I haven't heard before.

(Y) is left out and (X) is Wholly Condemned without representation.
This is why I stay out of these discussions.

Recent increases in Mod Wattage validate proper Battery concerns more than ever - FOR Higher <AMP DRAWS> however they are not All inclusive in market use.

If you figure that out, you understand.

There we go again. Brushed off again. I'll just believe the guy that not that long ago was preaching the dangers of stacked batteries and recently posted that higher resistance coils have a longer ramp up time.

I don't care who you cite. These are not the case.

The battery professional I most dealt with and threw ideas past was Tom from SPC racing. Quite a few times we both entered into conversations with Danny from SMC racing and dozens of very brilliant, knowledgeable hobbyists and professionals alike with tons of very sophisticated to easily obtainable, build able and accessible equipment with graphs, charts, logs of hundreds of batteries throughout their entire life span.

I work 80+ hour weeks and I drive a 40 ton death machine down the highways your family travels on. If it's looking up links while behind the wheel in the vehicle behind your family you want, so be it.

I won't say you're an idiot. Quite the contrary. Same with Bad.

Never said Xtar is the only brand worth buying. I did say they're all I'll be buying. To me, the very, very miniscule price difference is worth the peace of mind.

Considering you can get one for ~$5, to me it's a no brainer. But that's me.

Brawl between Baditude and beckdg? Saweeet! Should last longer than the last Roussey match too!

Apparently the hint to take it to PMs was ignored.

Closing.
