I have three of the MXJO IMR 18650's since December and have had no issues. They take at least 5 hr's to charge a single and about 7 or 8 hr's for charging two at the same time. The charge is a trust fire TR 001 which I will eventually upgrade to a Nitcore. I believe a slow charge is better for longer overall battery life, there is a very good battery website, called I believe Battery University. Check it out it has a wealth of information.

Actually you provided the particular reasons for a short or misfire I had questions about. Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it.

I did mean to say on the deck. What other errors will cause a short?

How do you tell if you have a short in a build? I have. Slug Clone with a Tobh Atty and a Magma Paradigm Atty. I keep my builds between .5 and 1.5 and always check the coils before I wrap cotton with a digital VOM. Wouldn't a short result from a coil grounding out on the tank? How can you check for a short with the VOM before you vape?
