I have a question. How long does the 18490 battery last. I see they are only 1100 mah. Kind of weak. Pondering the extension.

The mAh rating is provided to give a general estimate of how long the battery should last on a charge. 100 mAh = 1 hour. Heavy vaping will be less than 11 hours, lighter vaping will be longer.

I got the Pila charger when I purchased my Silver Bullet several months ago. Excellent charger. A very well manufactured device. I trust it will last. I don't have any other chargers to compare it to, but the charge times sure seem short.

It will last, mines over 2 years old and batteries come off @ 4.19 volts every time... it will even charge a 26650 battery...

I just have the cheap trustfire charger. Been using it for years with no problems. I figured I could get 3 more batteries with it instead of the pila. No regrets.
I want the best charger and batteries that I can find. No reason to skimp on them since they are so important for my APV's to function efficiently. Just think how many times a day you use press that power button. Not only is battery duration important, but so is safety and the total life expectancy of the battery. The recharging algorhythms used by the Pila and Xtar chargers are unique compared to the off brands. They just might prolong the expected lifetime of my batteries.

No regrets here using only the Pila charger and genuine brand AW batteries.

I don't trust any battery any longer that has the name "trust" in it, as I had a Trustfire "protected" battery go into thermal runaway when it shorted in my mechanical mod.
