I'm curious to see what the experienced people say. I've never heard that. I can't imagine why you would need a battery to sit before use.
Well, that's a first for me. I've lost count how many posts I've read on batteries and have never heard of it.
Good luck and Happy Vaping!!

That is exactly what I thought too but since it is my first mod I thought I could never be too careful.
I have never heard that either, the only thing I would assume is that maybe to let them cool of if they get warm while charging. I don't have that problem as I accidently ordered 2 2 packs of batteries so mine always sit for a day or so.
I've seen the same here. I think it might have been in one of Baditudes battery blogs.
Never heard that either. If your batteries are warm after charging and you are a chain vaper from hell then it might be a good idea.
I figured the same thing, since I do vape quite a bit, I figured letting them cool for a few min would be a bad idea but not quite as long as they suggested.
I found an article in the library here that strongly recommends a rest period for batteries after charging: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ecf-library/129569-rechargeable-batteries.html

It's referenced in Baditude's blog, but actually in a post by Royalgate-_______________________________________________
Rest batteries after charging
One commonly-reported factor in almost all the incidents we hear of where batteries failed violently while in use is that they were taken directly off the charger and then used immediately, at which point they failed.
Because of this, we think it may be a good idea to rest batteries after charging them. This advice will not be found in the usual 'reference bibles' on batteries, but we see more and different reports than others. Therefore we now advise:
Do not use batteries directly after charging them. Use a battery or batteries you previously charged, and that have rested for several hours. This is especially important if using a stacked pair for higher voltage, as statistically the risk is far higher.
The whole thing can be found in the library on the link above.

wow....I thought I new everything about batteries. Thats why I love this forum....I learn something new everyday.
I guess that answers it. Seems from the link that there is no definitive proof but circumstantial suggest to rest them before use. Good safe practice. Couldn't hurt and I guess its better to be safe than sorry in this case. Thanks for the links and info friends!!! 
I had never heard that before, but I rotate between 4 batteries, so mine get charged, and then put away until I need a fresh one. Great to know that it actually reduces the odds of catastrophic battery failure!
Great to read where a local shop knew their stuff. I walked into a new shop around here and overheard employee telling a first timer she didn't have to wash tanks before using them out of the mfg box. Newbie asked about cleaning the coils as she heard others talking about it making them last and taste better. Employee told her that was "bunk and not necessary...just replace the heads which we sell here".
I've never let a battery sit after charging. Once i pull it off the charger, it goes right in.
I have a Vamo V5 myself, and have never had a problem. Granted, I don't use it as often as I used to since I got my MVP 2, but it still gets used now and then.
The question is this: What batteries are you using? It could be something in the chemical makeup of the battery, as well as the brand. There are a few brands of batteries that people have reported problems with, so that might be the case here.

I am no battery expert, but if you are using a quick charger and the batteries heat up then yes I would say let them cool for awhile before you use them. However if they are cool to the touch since you are using a regulated mod I don't think you are going to have any issues with using them right off the charger. If you were using a Mechanical Mod and sub-ohms builds, then totally different story 
After participating in this thread, it occurred to me that I had not checked the batt. I had been using all day and it was at 3.6 so I put that one in the charger and loaded a fresh one.
I am a believer in always being safe over sorry lolI guess that answers it. Seems from the link that there is no definitive proof but circumstantial suggest to rest them before use.

The guys at my local shop really seem to know their stuff. I have had nothing but good experiences with them.
I have two efest batteriest, one 18650 and one 18350 that came with the kit.
