I'm using an xtar VP4 as my main charger. My 6 year old Pila is now on backup duity.

Nice.

 

[Boden]

Nice.

I like it because it has selectable charge rate. 0.25A is nice to my batteries.

I confess that I cheaped out and got the LUC V4. I hope my batteries will survive the 0.5.

Efest LUC V4s work great! I have one right now along my Xtar VP4!

Edit* About every other day I use Meter to check them!

My Pila too is in the box and is my backup. I have been using the Efest Luc4

I have been using the Efest Luc4

Does anyone else have a problem with taking the batteries out of the charger without the spring-loaded thingy trying to scrape the side of the battery? I've got one batter sidelined now because of a tear in its wrap, and I'm trying to be more careful.

According to Mooch .5 should be fine. ! amp is fine as well. the main thing is that your batteries do not get hot. Warm is normal, but hot will shorten their life.

The ambient temperature in which they're charging is about 64 degrees. I can't imagine them getting warm.

remove to top end first and then raise them up by tilting the top up.

gt. Can you keep a secret? Don't tell anyone but my first charger was the Trustfire, and guess what, I still have it! The Mrs. had bought me a Vamo for a gift and didn't know that it took batteries since she doesn't smoke or vape. So I had to go to the local b&m and buy something pronto because I was excited to jump from my ego to a "mod"! So I bought what they had. A Trust fire charger and those lovely blue wrapped batteries. I think I used it for about 2 weeks before I bought a Pilo charger and better batteries. But that's between you and me ok?????

Well don't tell anyone, but I had a pair of Trustfire and a pair of Ultrafire 18350 batteries that I used in my old VAMO for 2 years. Never had a problem, but then I doubt if I was even vaping at 5 watts back then.

I have an old Trustfire charger..two port number I got probably in 2012. Also have a Nitecore I4 that I consider my "good" charger. Not that I've used it in quite awhile, since my mods right now all have built in batteries. It'll be there when needed, though.

 

[Woofer]

Never heard about that before. I've even used carto tanks on mechs...no problem. Can't imagine "premade coils" would be a problem so long as the ohms are compatible and all that.

I have seen this a few times on ECF for example

I've said it before.

1. Premade coil heads and mechanical mods are a disaster waiting to happen.
(That's a TVF4 tank with a triple coil head )
[...]

 

[Woofer]

I'm planning on making 1,6-2ohm coils on the subtank mini, vaping between 10-15 watts (depending on ohms)

10 watts is 10 watts no matter the ohms. Hope you like your new tank.

Indeed it is!

Eleaf iStick 30W Battery - $35.00 : Rocky Mountain Vapor, The Mountain top of Electronic Cigarettes

Surely there's a better price on those somewhere by now; I didn't pay that much for either of mine. Try Mt Baker Vapor, @crystalluv545 -- I got a full kit iStick30 from them for about $31. I got an express kit for less at myvaporstore, but they're out of stock on those.

Better yet, get a CoolFire IV -- much better mod.
