Well truth be told, while I'm an Apple iPhone/iPad guy. I had to go PC because our work systems don't speak well with Apple OSx. They say they're going to change that sometime in the future and when they do, I'll get a MacBook Pro and be Apple all the way.......

Macs are great machines to run Windows on...

Come down Bronze. It's not your first date.
My P3 said there was 23% remaining on my 18490. I slapped it in the VP2 and it says it has 3.55 volts in it. Seems the P3 and the VP2 are in sync. I'm charging at the .25 amp level. I'm not seeing any reason to charge it at higher currents. I can't outvape the charge rate at .25 amps and believe the lowest possible charge rate is best for battery durability. Am I a battery charger expert? No. But it makes sense to me to charge it at the lowest current level that makes sense. If for some reason I needed a quicker charge then I can always jack up the current level.

Cool! I'm going to put one of the newer AW18490 1200mah's in when I get home tonight and see if maybe the issue I've had with them is the charge, not the battery. In addition to IQ reading higher on the 1100mah AW's I have, they are lasting longer in my P3 as opposed to the 1200mah. That shouldn't be the case as 1200mah should outlast 1100mah, or so I would believe?

One would think.

Holiday Inn Express strikes again.

I was reading about the charge rates and the time between using .25 and .5 are not much at all.

New batteries RB not almost new... read the memo.

Your OCD has a firm grip on you. Still working on the IQ aspect.

Did I mention that with this tank...

You don't have to empty it to get at your build?

You just turn it over, and unscrew it!

Thanks I'm now on the waiting list. Please don't post anything else. Thank you.

Xtar VP2 in house and charging its first battery.

I's so excited my heart can barely take it.

My roll-off dumpster will be here in about an hour! I'm dancing around squealing like a little girl!

ETA: But I'm not all tomboy, I just ordered a new pair of prescription sunglasses too!

Well with 3 Kayfuns I can use it only when home and sitting in a soft chair. The second video got me.

Not yes as they are not in stock. Wait to you receive that email from them. You are hooked.
