Is it safe for that size, rating, etc? I am just concerned about the output rate of charge and if it is compatible?? bnrk
I just got green on the TF 18350 3.7v 1200mAh, after just over an hour. I put it on the meter it read 4.17v.

I know MV sells some. Basically, you don't want the charger's requirements to exceed the USB adapter's output (but the adapter can be more). So, look at the charger cable. There should be fine print on it like input: 5v, XXXmA, output <whatever>. That input: is the draw from the wall adapter.
I'd recommend that you get at least a 2.0 amp one since you may want to use it for higher draw stuff too. 3.0 is even better.
Here's one possible link:
2 amp AC to USB Adapter
That's 2.0 amps. You have to do the math, or get whatever the vendor recommends. Also, make sure you use the same charger that came with the e-cig (put a sticky on the non-print side or on the cord that has the make/model on it).
Yeah, the PT probably just has a regular USB cord (charger is built into the device). Basically, if the AC adapter puts out at least 500mA it's probably fine (Can be higher for the AC->USB. Unit will draw only what it needs. The other way where the unit draws more than the adapter provides is a problem).
Saw this thread linked from the Colorado incident thread and figured I'd link it here as well:

I'm assuming that the number of eGo battery issues is in proportion to the number of eGo batteries being sold since they seem to be a very popular format, but I could be wrong.
Protection circuit will cut off at 8A (Over current protection), at 2.5V (Over discharge protection), and 4.35V (Over charge protection). Double short circuit protection, Overheat protection. Orbtronic 18650 Li-ion cell is very safe to operate with built in - INTERNAL, and EXTERNAL Protection.
