Can someone spec me some 18650 batteries and a charger that won't blow up and not from FT (with the battery shipping troubles they've been having...) please
Nitecore i4 intellicharger - it's possibly the only thing I've paid full retail price for since starting this slippery slope
I bought mine direct from
www.nitecore.co.uk, for around £28 delivered, but there are cheaper elsewhere. I was prompted to invest in one after my Chinese charger, bundled in my Vamo kit, caught fire, on my bed side table! I'm a bloody idiot for even taking the chance with it in the first place and will never put my family's lives in danger like that again.
For batteries, Torchy the battery boy on Ebay and UKVapers (he has his own retailer section) is unbeatable - you can email your order directly to save 10% on his Ebay prices.
If you want highly rated, high Amp capable batteries, essential for "sub-ohm" vaping, I think the Sony 30A ones
www.fasttech.com/product/1315400 (link just for reference )are the go-to choice, but anything Torchy (Jim) has put his name to will be of proven quality. I have some 2100mAh Panasonic cells bought from Slowtech that have been excellent in the Vamo. They're protected too, so I can safely use them in my Sigelei 19B, but only over 1.0 ohm.
If you don't mind ordering from China, Efest are great:
www.efestbattery.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=883 don't post out of HK, (iirc) so the wait shouldn't be too hard. Check out the IMR, Panasonic, Sanyo & Sony cells and avoid anything with Fire in the name. I can email you some links tomorrow if I've got the site address wrong and recommended batteries to look at (on my phone now).
TL;DR Don't scrimp on the batteries or charger - spending a few more beer-nuggets could literally save your life.
I'm sure you'll get it sorted, did you get your Kayfun lite?
