[scott44]

Also,which charger, nitecore I4 or LUC v2 ?

 

[scott44]

Anyone? I'm tring to fill my order out right now and have to make all these choices without knowing that much about it.

I'm not a fan of stacking any batteries, go with 18650.

ONE.

In fact, although there is some disagreement (not from me, by the way) the general opinion is that stacking 2 batteries is taking unnecessary risks.

I KNOW the Vamo seems to work with 2 x 18350, but on some mods it is verging on Russian Roulette.

Thanks! I got an extra 18650 too

Are chargers all about the same?

Get the best charger you can afford as well as batteries. The nitecore is good for starters and you can always upgrade.

I second the 18650 and Nitecore.

i use a nitecore intellicharger i2 never had a problem with it.
it will charge a few different sized batteries and is small enough to throw in a bag when i travel.

it highly recommend that you do not "stack" the batteries.

Yes. I have great faith in my Nitecore chargers. (better than my early "cheap" Xtar ones...). Xtar make good chargers, just not the entry-level ones i.m.o.

Make sure you get unprotected imr batteries for the vamo. It has a built in protection circuit. They don't work well with the protected ones and will cut off.

I would rather not stock batteries, get the new Sony vc5's and you will be set.

i have two vamos and p.busardos reviews indicate that two 18350s enable a measurable although imo undetectable advantage over one 18650. i use efest batteries and charger. i have sony us18650vtc3 and the vamo turns itself off occasionally. high end vendors are carrying AW and efest. you decide. happy vaping!

There is a review on youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/Meolms1 Mathew Olmstead Vamo full review, regarding the Vamo and batteries. I think you need two cells to get the full potential out of it.

These say IMR but nothing about protection

They are efest it says.

They look okay. Usually most sites will specify but since they are a vape site maybe not.

only icr comes with protection, imr are safer and doesnt use that.
get imr and youre good. you can find 2000-2000mah, i dont think 3000mah worth the risk of going with icr (less stable chemistry)
