I hate when that happens. Here's a link for 18350's - Vamo needs the button top - Efest IMR 18350 800mAh 3.7V LiMn Battery Flat Top or Nipple Tops (2PCS) Shipping is included in the price.

There is also a 10% off coupon for this vendor - I saw it posted a few posts back. Will go get it and update

Alrighty... I am working on ordering all of this.

Gotta find the 18350 batteries elsewhere tho, as they are out of stock. Of course...

OK..I THINK I have decided to order 2 spinners and 1 vamo. With the spinners, I will go ahead and order their USB charger and wall adapter. Yes, I have the ones that came w/ the egos, but I have no idea as to their quality. If the eGOs were knockoffs, could the chargers be crap?

As to the VAMO, w/ the "make it a kit" there are these choices.

(1) Efest 18650 Hybrid IMR 2250ma battery - button top [+$9.99]
(1) Efest 18650 IMR 2000ma battery - button top [+$8.99]
Multi Li-Ion Charger [+$8.50]
Trustfire TR-001 Charger -black [+$9.50]
Trustfire TR-001 Charger -white [+$9.50]
Set of Efest 18350 800mA button IMR's [+$12.00]

WTH do I choose?? See, this is WHY I don't order this stuff..... I'm thinking I'd rather it be shorter than longer, so the 2 18350 batts and the Multi Li-Ion charger... do I need anything else?

Amazon has several of them

XTAR WP2 II Multi-charger
XTAR WP2 II Multi-charger
Going Gear - XTAR WP2 II 3.7v Lithium Ion Dual Bay Charger

Xtar WP2 II - Includes 2 spacers and car charger cord.

Extra Spacers if needed


Edit: LOL Flintlock was wayyyy faster than me

Here's the NiteCore charger...free shipping http://www.crystalclearvaping.com/Nitecore-I2-Intelli-charger_p_195.html

He also sells efest batteries for a good price: Efest Batteries Use 10off4march for a 10% d/c.

I had a Vamo and sold it. I found it too big and heavy even in the 18350 version. With a 18350 battery, I thought of it as cop's baton.

I'm going to suggest an ego c/t 2 mod with a 18350 tube. Joyetech eGo-T/C 2 Upgrade Mod Control Unit and Joyetech 18350 Battery MOD Tube This set up will allow you to expand in the future. You can get a 18650 tube (the eVic tube) and if you want VV/VW, the eVic control head will work with these.

I realize it's frustrating and confusing and having something fail is a bummer. Just keep in mind all the stinkies you're not smoking. A bit of time and experience (and $$$) and you'll be making suggestions along with the rest of us. Keep

Natasha - lots of good advice and I go along with these people. Do NOT buy a cheapo kit charger - do NOT buy trustfires for the Vamo.I have a Pila and 2 Xtar WP2's. The WP2's are a good chioce, though if I didn't already have 3 chargers I'd buy the Nitecore. I like that it not only charges e-cig batts it will also recharge AA Nicad batts too.

Batteries, I have IMR and eFest's. The eFests are good, I just prefer the IMRs. Just started using a couple Panny's so I go by what others have told me - their pretty good too. I got turned off by eFest when I bought some rated at 3100 mAh on the batts covering. I took the covering off as it was starting to peel and under it were popular 18659 Panasonic batteries which are NOT 3100 mAh batts. So who's to say what other brands they may be re-branding.

OK... FLAT TOP... THANK YOU!

THANK YA'LL ALL so much for always helping me! And thanks BOB for the COUPON! it's all ordered... including punched cartos AND I remembered the needle nose filling tips this time.

 

[Kat56]

Whoops...by button top I meant nipple top

 

[NatashaR]

Whoops...by button top I meant nipple top

OH NO... I just ordered FLAT top....??

 

[FranC]

Is there a difference?

 

[NatashaR]

Is there a difference?

Heck if I know... Smoktek calls them button top... the other site offers flat or nipple top..? WTH

Be nice if they would all use the same LINGO!! Pfft

 

[Kat56]

Natasha, I would email Andrew at CCV about the battery order and ask him if he can just change it to the nipple top for you since there is no price difference. Just use the contact us link on the website.

 

[Kat56]

I call em button top if they are not flat...

WILL DO... I'll tell him I need whichever go w/ the VAMO.

I use eFest 18350 and 18650 flat tops in my Vamo all the time. Well 18350's all the time, I've tried the 18650 and it's just too long for me in the configuration.

 

[Iffy]

Yepper! Your CRS is acting up. Looks like you didn't remember responding to me, so ya did it again.

It was high tide when I posted both of dem posts! Yeah, dat and da lunar 34% waxing phase...

Also - I'm not aware of any tanks that are made specifically to use dual coil carto's and/or single coil carto's. The nickname DCT for Dual Coil Tanks came about because Smoketech first marketed them with dual coil carto's. But you can use either type carto in it. The only major difference in a tank is it's length. Is it sized for standard length carto's or XL size carto's.

Again, true and valid info!

I would go for a XTAR WP2 II charger. ase the batteries and charger separate. The Spinners are a good choice.

For what it's worth, I totally agree. I keep my XTAR plugged in my truck.

Is there really a difference between a battery that says eGo and one that says Joyetech?

Not in my experiences!

Includes 2 spacers and car charger cord.

Extra Spacers if needed

Order two extra spacers if you use da shorter (=>xx500) batts!

===SIGH=== 3 cartos in a row complete duds!

Brand?

I can see the element glowing orange through the punch. Frustrating.

Did you by chance punch these in the wrong place.

Sure reads like it!

 

[NatashaR]

LMAO... I am fixing to start DRINKING! SO.. which ones do I need??

I ordered these... Efest IMR 18350 800mAh 3.7V LiMn Battery Flat Top or Nipple Tops (2PCS) FLAT TOP.

Wanna take votes??

 

[FranC]

I call em button top if they are not flat...

I meant what's the difference between button to and nipple top? Sound like the same thing to me.

 

[Kat56]

I am going to start drinking with Natasha

 

[FranC]

LOL think i'll join ya.

 

[Kat56]

Yay...the more the merrier!!!

 

[NatashaR]
