Seeking Advice on Batteries and Chargers for SB...

[MrEDJay]

Ok, So, I'm very impatient when it comes to waiting for a supplier to "get stock"..While I would like to order everything from the same place, I am finding that the longer I wait for Altsmoke to get something in Stock, something else goes out and i'm forced to look someplace else

I plan on ordering an SB tonight.
There are actually a few questions that I'm sure that someone will be able to answer by 9pm.

1.I find that vaping is great, but Still going to analogs. Should I invest in 6v or 3.7v batteries?

2.Is there a universal charger that will charge rcr123a as well as 18650 Lithium batteries?

The only reason why I ask this is that I've only a limited supply of funds but I am tired of wasting it on cigarettes, and just staring at my 901 wishing it was something more. I mean, if 3.7v is a big jump over the standard battery that is on most Penstyles in terms of performance, then I'll just settle for that.
I just need to find someplace that sells a charger and batteries for a "reasonable" price.

Thanks in advance.

I almost exclusively now vape at 6 volts with my SB; I definitely recommend this option.

Vaping at 3.7 volts is a bit of a jump because you do not loose much voltage over time and the battery will last a day or two, but if you are still smoking I would definitely recommend the 6 volt option if I had to pick one (get at least 2 sets of the rcr123a’s).

I could be wrong, but I do not think that you can get a universal charger that charges Tenergy 3 volt as well as the 18650.

on the universal charger, if you get LIFEPO4 tenergy 3v 123a's you can onluy use the charger to charge these as they arent like li ion batteries.

If you get the 3,7 v rcr123a's then yes you can use a universal charger for these and the 18650's

again as lawn said, batteryjunction.com ahs what you need with fast shipping..

Pm'd Me, and put a message in this post about it... Sorry dude, I don't do personal transactions and I most definitely do not do transactions that are inquired about twice.

I do thank you all for the speedy response.
And yes I am aware of the LiFePO4 and L-ion issues.

Go 6v definitely. At 3.7 I was finding it really tough to get past the early morning cravings and having to puff away to warm up the atty to get a decent hit with lots of vapour. At 6v - boom - short drag, huge vapour, big hit. The SB at 3.7 i s more like a really great standard 510 that lasts for days instead of hours. At 6v, it's the bomb.

Are you saying I've just spoiled myself by using the SB as 6v 1st? My batts aren't here yet, so I bought the disposable cr123a's @ Lowes to get me thru. I have an 18650 3000mah kit coming & sure hope I didn't waste my $$$.

And op - I can speak to the SB @ 6v. I was vaping 36mg all week to stave off any and all analog cravings. For the most part it has worked. But man, 36mg is wicked high!

Less than a day with the SB and I'm vaping 12mg and there is ZERO desire for an analog.

So there you go. My $.02 And gl man. Have faith.

I learned how to vape with a standard 510 and I graduated with a SB.... you just skipped a grade.

I ordered my 18650 batteries fro Deal Extreme. Free shipping. They also have the Trust Fire universal battery charger. It charges like 6-8 different types of batteries - two at a time. I think it's the same one Rob sells. It does take about a week for them to get to me though.

 

[JKBonin]

I started with an 510 too. I've had it 3 weeks or so. I just knew within days of getting it that I was going with the SB for my batt mod.

But thanx for the compliment. Skipping grades is never a bad thing. And I owe it all to you ecf'ers!

 

[MrEDJay]

SB is ordered, and got the 901 adapter since well....I happen to have a few 901's laying around here, and Didn't really see the purpose of buying new equipment.

SKU 01251 UltraFire 3.6/3.7V Battery Charger $12.30
SKU 13811 Soshine 700mA 3.7V RCR123(A) Batteries Pack with Carrying Case

I think that I'll be set for a while.
Though, the charger will need to be modded to accommodate the small size of the RCR123a's....I don't really think its gonna be much of a problem. I mean, either mod it or use Spacers to get the desired results...

So, eventually this week I'll get

Silver Bullet (AltSmoke.com)
LiOn 3.6/3.7 Charger (DealExtreme.com)
2 Sets of RCR123a's (DealExtreme.com)
15ml Tennessee Cure 24Mg Strength Liquid (Best E-Ciggy.com)

Hoping for Vaping Bliss again like when I first picked up my very first 901....
Really want to get the smoke smell out of my cloths.....AGAIN

Here's one rated 3000mah http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.21474. I bought the 2600mah (red) protected DealExtreme: $8.38 UltraFire Protected 18650 3.7V "2600mAh" Lithium Batteries - Red (2-Battry Pack). They also have the Trust Fire Multi charger.
