rough stack battery question

[needtoknow]

I just got a maxi stack today, put the battery right in and did not seem to fire like I thought it would (power wise) so I put it on the charger, the question is are you supposed to put them on the charger for a certain amt of time for the first charge or just until the light turns grreen? Also is it best to completely drain the battery before re-charging after that?

I put mine on the charger until it goes green. I have the RoughStack that holds a single 18350. I often put them on the charger even though I don't think they are fully depleted, and over the month have had no issues. According to this thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...566-draining-batteries-before-recharging.html you don't need to condition lithium ion batteries. Hope that helps!

thanks that does help, now another question,
it sayes that it takes 2- 16340 to vape at six volts ( I see a 16340 rcr123A 3.0v) for that
to vape at 7.4 volts it sayes to use a 18350
but I also see a 16340cr123 3.7v, would that not be the one to use for 7.4 volt vaping? I love to use LR attys and have never used anything over 3.7v yet.
Also which cartos work best at what voltage??

Thank you for your help I am trying to finish my christmas list for myself, and want to make sure I give the correct info to Santa, as I don't believe he is a vapor, ( I think he still uses tobacco in that pipe of his) LOL

I would really try 6v out before considering 7.4. That is one hell of a kick and I found it to be way way to much for me personally. Don't forget High resistance atomizers at those voltages as well for that christmas list of yours

thx, as far as the resistance goes is it directly related to the ohms? ie .... the higher the ohm the higher the resistance?



PS put the 18650's on the charger right out of the box for about 12 hours and so far working like a champ

Yes higher Ohm equals higher resistance. basically with lower resistance those higher voltages will blow out the coil. With higher resistance then the higher voltage generates the heat necessary without popping the coil. If you have used a low resistance atty at 3.7v that is basically equivalent to 5 volt vaping. Now picture a regular 3 ohm atty at 7.4 volts your really working that atomizer. This is my basic understanding of how this works. No promises im completely correct scientifically but hopefully pointing you in the right direction.

You canuse 2x3.7V 16340 to do 7.4V vaping. But the 18350 is bigger so will last longer. That's why they say to use them.
