BigClouds1021 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I agree with mvince^^^. I have a bite core 4 bay and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I have a nitecore 4 bay that I have had and use daily for over a year no issues. I also have a 2 bay Efest Luc charger, which seems to be like love, comes in spurts. Will work fine for a month, then magically the led goes nuts. I'll unplug for a few days and it'll be fine again.

Earthling789 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I don't have any MODs that require 18650's, but I do have several flashlights that do, and I keep my NiteCore 4-bay charger with at least 2 batteries in it at any given time... It has never let me down... never gotten hot... never failed to properly charge. Now all I need is to break-down and buy a VTR, and a couple batteries for it!

3Rutez Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I'm loving my Xtar VP2 charger. I have the Soshine 18650 rapid charger as well, and it charges my batteries quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushwick Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I don't have any MODs that require 18650's, but I do have several flashlights that do, and I keep my NiteCore 4-bay charger with at least 2 batteries in it at any given time... It has never let me down... never gotten hot... never failed to properly charge. Now all I need is to break-down and buy a VTR, and a couple batteries for it! I keep switching between wanting to part with mine and wanting to keep it. I can't make up my mind! ON TOPIC The Nitecore, definitely. Although I have been using my trustfire 2-bay for almost a year and a half and have had absolutely no issues with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richstag Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I wonder why I see so many vape shops that sell the nitecore brand chargers actually urging against their use for certain batteries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know at this point is that my charger functions..lol My buddy uses it too with the same batteries I use (sony vtc5) and he has no problems. I just see so many warnings against its use. I am a super paranoid person when it comes to batteries and chargers. Almost had the house burn down from a loose connection one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compenstine Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Right now I have a Trust Fire TR-001 that has been working well. I'm planning on getting a XTAR VP1 or VP2 to replace it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoevapekins Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 The only chargers I use is xtr and nitecore. When it comes to my 18xxx batteries. Lipo packs are a different ball game lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Rutez Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I got the Xtar VP2 specifically for my 26650 batteries. It charges them at a nice and slow .25A for a longer lifespan. The Soshine rapid charger charges my 18650 batteries in 45 minutes or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
