Vamo v5 battery

[Nick2415]

Okay I just bough the vamo v5 from fast tech and I'm looking at battery's and I'm not sure which I should get 18650 of course but I'm not sure which brand and if it really matters what kind and also the charger can I just get a cheap charger or is that dangerous?

efest if you want a cheap good battery. intellicharger i4 or i2 for the charger. i would get the i4 so you can charge more batteries at once.

xtar, nicore, or pila chargers are all good ones, I use the xtar myself.
For all my vamo's i use panasonic CGR18650CH, gray jacket batts and they work great.
Stay away from any battery or charger that has the word "fire" in it usually they are cheap and unreliable
Good Luck with your vamo!!!

I have the efest 18350's and they work good, make sure they have at least a 10 amp limit.

I'm waiting on 2 each of the following from FT - Vamo V2s with Nitecore i2 chargers and unidentified Sony batts:

...and some Panasonic 18650 batteries rated to 10amp:

I got generally positive feedback from the vets in a thread I posted a while ago on both the charger and extra batteries...don't have them yet, so I can't say for sure that they're the cat's meow. I'm also not looking to sub-ohm or do anything crazy off the bat, your mileage may vary if you have different intentions.

The "don't trust a battery with 'fire' in the name" meme seems to have such traction amongst the experienced vapers that I'm certainly trusting it...

CGR18650CH (I have heard these are discontinued so might be hard to get)

AW
IMR18650 2000 mah

Efest

I have had excellent performance out of all of them
