Would upgrading be beneficial enough?

But made right choice with rx it will power most any build an tanks you wana upgrade to later on, i use my rx daily at home as well as the limitless , you be advised buying 6 " 18650 so can swap out batteries though so you always have a spare set to just swap out while others are charging ,its capable of charging the battery but not advised hence why i say recommend a proper external charger

Thank you, I wasn't aware. I was able to cancel the order for the Tomo in time thanks to you.
Could you recommend me some other place to order than amazon, their international shipping price is quite high and I'm unable to find the models you posted on Swedish price matching sites.

"All categories - £9.70 per delivery + £3.10 per kg. " - Amazon.

EDIT: Found this, seems to be what I need right?

Both are China sites delivery to to eu pretty cheap but most decent ONLINE shops or vape shops carry decent chargers, but you will always pay more from vape shops they have to make a profit an pay shop costs an staff,

I have the xtar dc 4 from Amazon

And the other opus bt 3100 v2 from gear best, which can run tests on your batteries an tell you the true mAh of batteries , as not always what tbey state they are most are rewrapped clones so buy from reputable company for batteries worth paying little extra so they dont go boom ,

The pics also say which cheap sites you can get from ive had original authentic products from gearbest and efuntop site , you can charge in mod until proper charger arrives , but its not recommend long term , using a decent charger will extend life of batteries , also every one states dont leave chargers unattended while charging batteries for safety reasons ,
Cheaper efest an such can vent explode , am cause fires , so stick with the big three brands
sony vtc4/ vtc5
Samsung 25 r /30q
LG ,HG2/, HE2,/HE4
All 18650 batteries all different amps an mAh capacity , depending on how you use them an what wattage an builds you make , but all good batteries if original ,

Is there a reason to pay the extra money for the opus bt? If I'm sure the batteries aren't clones I don't really need to double check their mah and it's the only feature difference I can tell. Thanks for the site suggestions.

It can run a lot of tests for all kinds of batteries plus can use all 4 slots an fast charge at 1000mAh , where as only 2 slots 1 an 4 are are 1000mah charging , the opus has a lot more features , thats why shame is it was recently on sale an price has only just gone back up thats why i got it at 22£ , but Amazon has fox novo 4 on sale an has similar setup to opus , thats on sale now on Amazon, but (Xtar are good chargers )

so are efest chargers
just crap efest batteries ,
but there chargers are good ,
Check online There might be a good local suppliers ,these chargers also fit almost all types of batteries sizes an the larger sizes down to AA am AAA sizes too

The xtar is the chsrger you would probably be better with it has a good balance charge and if using slots 123 its 500mAh which is fine but takes quite a long time 6 -8 hrs for LG hg2 batteries, but if using slot 1 an 4 only it will charge at 1000mAh its never failed me , i only have the opus so i put my batteries in tbere ive been using a while to get the memory effect set an up an run lots of tests on. My batteries then true capacity as i have lghg2 that are claimed to be authentic from Amazon direct an only 2700 mAh after tests , i knew they werent right so if not right capacity is it the right amps too , so i have retired several batteries now out of safety an reporting them to Amazon , where as my Samsung 25r from efunTop a cheap site turned out authentic an are real amps too

I think you sold me on the opus bt, might as well spend a tiny bit extra for something I'm not going to replace in many years to come.

Regarding coil kits, I want one with an ohm meter for sure. Would you say that the Youde Coil Mate is better than the Coil Master Kit v2? I can get the latter in a local shop for only a bit more.

EDIT: So if I only want 1 charger, would you still recommend the xtar over the opus? Found a cheaper xtar on slowtech and they don't charge shipping.

Both come kits you mentioned come with a basic ohm meter it does it Job well , i jist like the ud coil mate kit , the coil builder doubles as screw driver set , its a smaller fold out set , its decent quality , theres another geek vape set bigger than the one i pictured that includes a 521 tab thats nice as that ohm meter can take an 18650 , an can test mech mods ,build your deck on it ,its like a coil master 521 tab i show my glowing coils on as tbey can then both fire your coils pre burn test resistance an also you can vape off them too pretty cool ,

They both charge batteries great , i have both as wanted to run tests on my batteries , which you might not want to do , but if your planning on buying other stuff at later date of more batteries then testing then to see if they are genuine batteries ect becomes a must theres too many fake 18650 batteries with wild claims of 35 40amp 3000 -4000mah which is utter rubbish its either high amps lower mAh or
lower amp higher mAh
this is how things are with batteries cant have both ways but can get close with the top 3 brands , still not found any Sony vtc6 batteries yet ,
