new to batteries

[avenger77mat]

Good morning all have a quick question. I'm currently awaiting a wonderfully generous gift in the form of a tube mod (Bolt). I have minimal experience with anyting besides internal battery systems and am wondering what opinions are out there regarding a good charger. Thanks and hope everyone is having a good weekend

Xtar and Nitecore are the two who come to mind for me, but you'll find just about everything in Baditudes blogs concerning batteries and chargers. Good luck.

Thanks for the quick response Sgt. and Sir Currently its easier to use cash because of debit card problems, might be a silly question but do any major retailers carry any chargers for these type of batteries (i.e. Lowes, Home Depot)?

You could try buying a pre paid credit card, I use one from my bank for online purchases.

I won't comment on the above responses, they're both perfectly correct; and anything you get from Baditude is pretty much gospel. However, if you are looking for a Nitecore or Xtar charger locally, I'd try a battery specialty store or a top-of-the-line vape shop-- and expect to pay for it. BTW, you can buy a debit (gift) card-- here in the US-- at major retailers in fixed denominations, or most grocery stores/walmarts/targets/etc sell a reloadable one for a few bucks a month.

I would imagine radio shack would have something suitable....

 

[avenger77mat]

Oh yeah forgot about radio shack lol they were my goto twenty years ago for my last hobby remote control cars lol

You really want good batteries and a good charger for vaping. They're the foundation of everything that comes later.

 

[Sgt.Rock]

You may be able to get a decent charger at Radio Shack but I doubt they have any decent high discharge batteries suitable for vaping.

You could always use the cash for an Amazon gift card and use them. There are a few very reputable battery and charger retailers (like Orbtronic) that have Amazon storefronts, and the prices are reasonable.

Honestly, I'll often use Amazon over other outlets because of their consumer-friendly return policy, and I can do it without even leaving the house.
