    Hi everybody,
    I finally bought a charger for my batteries instead of using the broken evic to charge them :P
    So I bought the cheapest, trustfire I think version 1... anyway.. I can charge at 3.0V or 3.6V
    I am charging two 18650 batteries, one efest 2000 and one samsung, the pink one :P

    What should I use?

    3.6 Volts for your eCigs, I think the 3V is for rechargeable AAs which are Ni-Mh.....but please someone else add their voice to this, I have only recently started looking into batteries and I am far from finished...

    Both batteries are a nominal 3.6/3.7 (the charger charges them to 4.2v then cuts the power off).

    Depends on your use for the batteries - the efest are safer in a mech mod, the Samsung's'll work too but you have to be mindful you don't bump past the 5.2A limit.

    The efest is great for any use and they're both great for a Vamo, I said the efest would be good for a mech because I wouldn't use the Samsung in a mech mod in case there was a short.
