Hello everyone. I am looking for a new, inexpensive, charger because my current 2 month old, Efest Soda, charger is dying. The left side of the charger is charging twice as fast as the right side of the charger.

I want a new charger, that displays the voltage reading of each battery, and I only need a dual 18650 charger. I will only be charging my VTC5 batteries in this, for my IPV3. If this is possible while keeping the limit to $30, that would be great. If not, then I don't have to have a volt reader on it. I just want a good quality product.

I use the Nitecore D2 Intellicharger, costs about $25 online. I have been using it for about 3 months and no issues at all. Great charger for the price IMO.
BTW how do you like your IPV3? I have the carbon fiber Plus version coming in the mail in 2 days and im stoked!

Edit: D2 also shows the mAh being supplied to the battery, how long its been charging, and the current voltage.

Ill check that out, thanks. I love my IPV3, works flawlessly, and with this new update, it works even better.

I see the Nitecore D2 Intellicharger on amazon for $18

My local vape shop has the EFEST LUC V4 for $35.

The Nitecore D2 would fit your needs. It's $19 on Amazon.

I use the Nitecore D2 Intellicharger, costs about $25 online.

Edit: D2 also shows the mAh being supplied to the battery, how long its been charging, and the current voltage.

The only problem I see here, is that it only charges at .5 ...which will take forever on my VTC5 batteries.......My current chargers chargers up to 1amp.

I just bought a LUC V4 at Lightning Vapes for ~$23 (reg price is $29 or so)

use code LV20 on the billing page to get it down to $23


Enter your info if you're paying by Paypal. You can't enter the code until the billing page. Then chose Paypal, not before.

Just did about an hour of researching all the chargers, reviews, and testing. I went ahead and ordered a XTAR VP2 charger. I had points from my credit card, so it only cost me $7, with overnight shipping.

day late, $1 short. the VP2 is 100x better than my old Nitecore $18 specials. You should be very happy with it :thumb:
