I purchased one last week off of Amazon. It came with a wall cord and a car cord. The wall cord did not power the unit, but the car cord did. So, I ordered another one. It arrived today with no wall cord! The other's wall cord doesn't power this one either. I'll be returning both. I'm now looking for a charger that will charge AW IMR 18350 and 18490 batteries without a spacer. I'd like to have four battery slots, but I could make do with two if need be.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: After doing some more research it looks like the spacers in some chargers can be screwed into the charger to make them semi-permanent. I thought that the spacers were loose, and I worried about losing them.

A charger with attachable spacers would be ok.

I have a xstar VP1 & I love it. Here's a pic. No spacers & it will serve your purpose.

I love my I4. Solid. Got sick of swapping around spacers. Sounds like a bad power cord. Very common size. You might have another to try off of another electronic device in the house? Cable box, old boom box etc...

Yup, bad power cord. Thanks for the help. I tried the one off of the printer and it worked just fine. I can probably pick up another of these cords at radio shack right?

Ha! I JUST ordered one of these from RTD Vapor! Seriously like 4 minutes ago. Since Stadanko figured out it was just a bad power cord I'll have to cancel the order. Looks like a great charger though!

Great news. Inconvenient, but great. Glad you got it running. I think that mine might be running off of an apple TV cord. I have so many damn power cords and adapters in my house. Enjoy the i4. I'm sure radio shack or fleabay or amazon would have the cord you need. That Xstar vp1 would fit nicely in my travel bag however ! Thanks for the pic.

Thanks again for the advice and helping me solve my problem. It's hard to find a charger that doesn't use spacers for the 18350s in the Provari Mini, and when I found the I4 I was very happy. Then both had problems and I was very let down. I'm glad it was just the cord!
