Lurker posting for the first time.

[Dane Kehm]

I've been lurking around here since I started vaping. Got my first ego bat and never touched another analog. Now I'm on a zombie provari and preordered my first box mod. Loving my patriot rda, in the market for an American made RTA right now. Reasons for posting are some questions about the sony vtc4's. Been reading about chargers and batteries getting warm and was wondering if it's normal. Never had a problem with the aw imr's but have been reading the horror stories and would rather NOT burn my house down. What kind of charger should be used for these batteries?

Hello Former Lurker! Welcome from the shadows! I can't answer your particular question other than to say that all of my portable equipment (phones, laptops, etc) get warm while charging, but as an Innokin/Twist user I haven't really checked my batts to see if they did too. Just wanted to welcome a fellow lurker an congratulate you on quitting tobacco in favor of vaping.

Hi Dane,

Welcome aboard.

As for IMR chargers, you will find most vets rave about the Pila. I listened to them. That's what I use.

Safe, effective and is supposedly real "smart" so that it keeps your batts in good shape. It will charge all the 18s from 350 to 650.

Good luck.

Thank you. @NoVaWolf, I never thought tossing the coffin nails would be so easy. @JavaDan, thanks for the info.

Done. I had sticker shock when I purchased my provari and went with the cheaper charger to begin with. Should've just spent the extra $30.

You're learning what I've already learned about sticker shock.

Whenever I debate the "need" to lay out $$$ for something I think I would like/need I remember this:

Buy Once, Cry Once.

Seems to make it a little easier.

Battery Chargers. Get the best charger that you can reasonably afford. Statistically most battery incidents occur during the charging phase on a charger. Pila, Xtar, and Nitecore Intellicharger ​are the highest recommended brands.
