is this true?

you shouldn't use batteries right off the charger?

Are you referring to batteries like 510 or 808 batteries or mod batteries? My knowledgeable friend told me for mod batteries you should wait 24 hours.

I don't think it is a good idea.

If your Charger is doing everything it is Supposed to do, it shouldn't hurt them. But many chargers are Mass Produced with Questionable Quality Control.

I don't leave my Batteries on a Charger any Longer than Needed. And I Never leave them Charging when I go Out or when I go to Sleep.

Use em right outta the charger, thats when they put out the most power! Hot Hot Hot 5 volts forever!

The only reason for concern is if there is a considerable amount of heat generated in the charging process. At that point you need to troubleshoot why the heat is there in the first place. If you pick up the battery off the charger and it feels normal, vape on.

I have heard it's easier on the battery to wait, but I don't bother. I have been vaping 3 years and it's never been a problem.

I use AW IMR 18650's. I charge them and then they go in a battery box. I use them in rotation. When my Provari tells me the battery needs replacing I pull out the battery from the Provari, let it sit for a couple of hours and then charge it.

My batteries last a long long time. Read up on Battery U

I'm certainly no authority on batts but I always allow a little cool down time before and after charging.(not 24hrs. though)
Always check for heat. Heat is not a good sign and easy to recognize.
First use is always away from my mouth/body, for a test fire, usually a battery level check.

It's most likely if the battery is going to be a problem it'll happen on the charger or first use after charging(from what I've read).

Cheers!

And, for those of you that meter your cells, allowing them to 'sag' for a while after charge tells you the terminal voltage of the cell. Even a old crappy cell can come off the charger at 4.20v. But does it stay there?

Good point. I always meter them before putting in a mod unless it's a Provari and I meter it in the Provari as soon as the cap is screwed on.
