Yeah, I think the original I4 and I2 are more or less proven chargers. Haven't researched anything on the new ones
Get this one instead. Use LV20 discount code. pretty fast free shipping. I have had problems with the intellicharger overcharging also. none so far with the 4 bay model. And you can even charge at 2 amp in a pinch which the 25r's support. This isn't a good everyday practice for batteries (from what I have read). But in a pinch I could get a set juiced up quick. Pls it comes with the car charging adapter

All the chargers you're looking at now are good!
And the Samsung INR 25's are great batteries.
Just wanted to respond to something you said about the Sony's being cheaper - "DON'T DO IT" - if you're seeing VTC4 or VTC5's right now for a low price, they are probably FAKE. There ARE no VTC5's available right now - Sony is in the middle of changing the factory, right when they got real popular with vapers. So people started putting a green wrapper on other batteries and selling them as Sony's.
Batteries, you want to buy from a well-known vendor, like RTD Vapor, or Illumn (flashlight place, not sure of the spelling)...
Charger from Amazon is OK, but don't get batteries from EBay!!!

I already ordered the nitecore intellicharger i4 this morning from Amazon. Was this a mistake? I don't think I can cancel/return it. I don't mind spending the extra money if it's a better charger. But idk if I'll be able to cancel the order. My friend just bought the one you mentioned today and he loves it
The I4 is a good charger. I've had the 2 bay version for a year with no troubles. I usually run my batteries down to 3.8/3.7v and takes about 2 1/2 to 3 hours to fill 'em back up. It wouldn't hurt to have a spare set of batteries on hand. You can rotate them and not have to go vapeless while one set charges. Illumination has a great price on them Batteries, Chargers, and PowerPax Carriers
Use samsung INR 25 on sigelei 100w + and nitecore i4 to charge them and all has been great.
I can't definitely picture myself with 3 chargers in the end of this discussion. The totally wicked single charger, the Efest LUC charger, and the intellicharger i4 I didn't want it to come down to this. But what can you do?
I've heard mixed reviews on both the intellicharger i4 AND the efest LUC. Seeing how I already ordered the i4. I think I'll try it out. If it kills my batteries. I'll buy the efest LUC.
If it helps easy your mind with your purchase a little, I frequently check my batteries with a multimeter after they come off charge. I just checked two Samsung 25R batteries fresh off the i2 and they are both reading 4.21 volts. Used two different meters and they both show each battery having the same voltage. Mine is charging either 18350s or 18650s practically every day for maybe 4 or so months. This isn't that long of a period, but I see no troubles so far.
I too have three of those Samsung 25R in use on my mech and have absolutely no concerns about them. Great batteries. And as well I own a Nitecore Charger, the D2. It does the job well, no problems at all. And i guess you won't get a better setup for the money.
