Should I be charging at 300mA or 650mA?

[Abracastabya]

So I picked up a sweet setup yesterday from Jason over at E-Cig City...I went with the ProVari and 2.8 ohm version 2 stainless torpedo tank ( I think that's what the tank is called please correct me if I'm wrong ...anyhow this device is 100% bad ...! I'm not new to vaping but I'm not that current with all the charging and battery specs/do's and dont's....the batteries I have are the standard 3.7V IMR 18500-1000mAh along with the WF-188 ultrafire charger...should I be charging these at 300 or 650mA? Obviously 650 will charge faster correct? But at the same time might not give me a full charge?

Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks!

The lower setting is for charging 3V batteries and the higher setting is for charging your 3.7V batteries.

I wouldn't worry about it that much. Just do the 650. My charger is a *fire at 500ma, same batteries as yours, but the barely larger 18650 size, and they last plenty long.

If you really want to get fancy (and I suppose technically safer), pick up a pila charger for $45. It will automatically swap outputs for you.

Thanks for the welcome! I've been vaping for 2 or 3 years and use to be a member here on ecf but it had been so long since I logged in I couldn't remember my user name and such so I just made a new one haha but yeah man I had just bought an ego-t a few weeks back and was very impressed with it...then surfing around YouTube I came across a review of the provari and in the description he stated that he purchased the whole kit at local shop in Laguna beach CA which about an hour away from me...so I went in just to buy some juice and walked out with a new setup!

This sucker vapes like no ones business! Especially with the tank system.

Congratulations!

I agree with bladebarrier, plan to get a Pila someday - it'll be the night and day difference between your eGo-T and your ProVari. My WF-188 started acting up after 2 months, so now it's an emergency backup.

I remember reading somewhere that you should charge at no more than half the rate of the total mah of the battery.

Cool deal. I'll try and order one up next week.
