I just started vaping a few weeks ago and love it. I've decided my first real mod will be a Provari after a lot of lurking and research... However I realized I know nothing about chargers/batteries. I've seen several posts saying "throw away the charger and get a decent one"..

Whats that mean? Provape sells a charger i can order with the provari that recharges two 1850 or two 18650 batteries. I'll probably have more mods down the road that use different batteries. Is there a charger that can handle more sizes and is better? I don't mind ordered from different places.

Also- I've seen the AW IMR batteries seem to be the best. I want to get an extra set or two. Where is the best place to order them from? I plan on getting the extension cap for the Provari and a set or two of each size. Where can i find the best price on these???

Sorry if this is basic stuff but I've only had experience with my Infernos that use USB to charge, completely overlooked charger/batteries and would like to get this ordered tonight! Thanks!

I'm using the Trustfire TR-003P4 charger and have no complaints. I like that you can charge 4 batteries at one time on it. I got mine on Ebay for around $18 shipped from China. It took about a week for it to show up.

This may sound funny, but the Trust Fire TR-001 ($12.00ish) charger is the best charger in the entire Galaxy!!! I have had one for 3 plus years and bought a back-up two years ago which I have never needed to even open the mailing package! I have read of other vapers from Great Britian, France and blah blah blah... and they always swear by them. So if you want a Pila...(although good, maybe the best) go ahead, I personally would NEVER buy any Ultra Fire charger of any kind, had 2 fail on me... Anyway, Provape prob. hooked you up with a reliable Trust Fire so vape on my friend and good choice with the Provari!!!

I purchased my provari and all the componenets including the lesser expensive charger at one time from thier site.Have not had any issues at all.I'm fairly confident that they would not sell from thier site, anything that would not be useful for thier product.They have a wonderful reputation to uphold.

I started with the TR-001, and had no issues with it. Shortly after jumped on the Pila bandwagon and have had nothing but good luck with it! Both work fine, Pila's charges a bit faster, and I like the added security features. Now use the TR-001 for a backup. Like some have said, if you're spending the big bucks for the Provari, stick with decent batteries/chargers.
