Hello and scs

Hi SCS. Welcome.

You are doing very well, some good choices made. Battery charger will be fine, don`t leave it charging `overnight`.

You will save yourself money and heartache by asking questions from this friendly Knowledgeable forum.

Enjoy your vaping .

Hello and scs

Hi Romelee,

Thanks.

You can probably guess I read your thread and took your advice on the tank and cartomiser

Great news for me, the seller will cancel the transaction so I can start again.

Before I go charging off and getting lost in threads again, does anybody have a link to what I should be actually buying (batteries and charger)? Google goes funny when you search for batteries nipples protection!

Is it this charger: eBay Item Number 221200252599

Once you get settled take a look at the threads about writing to your MEP (European Parliament) to protect our rights to vape.

Hi scs, Welcome

There are basically 3 types of battery.

Unprotected -- Exactly as the name suggests. They require a device that has its own built in voltage protection, like the Vamo, and should not be used in mechanical devices.

Safer Chemistry "IMR" -- These are not "fully" protected batteries, but do have a lower chance of leaking if they go wrong.

Protected -- These have a small circuit built in to the battery that kind of acts like a circuit breaker for the battery should it overheat etc.

That's a VERY simple description, there is a lot more information on the Internet about them. Google Torchy The Battery Boy for his website and you can get lost for hours in a really in depth explanation.

As for chargers, the Nitecore I4 is also a very decent unit, ecigwizard sell it for a very good price, and from them it also comes with a 12v socket lead for using in your car. It doesn't require using any spacers as it has sprung loaded bays to adjust to battery size.

Hope that helps some.

& hi, Steve! Sounds like you're really getting into your vaping, nice!

[scs]

Thanks everyone, much appreciated

I managed to cancel the eBay transaction for the batteries and charger and purchased these instead:

Nitecore i4 as suggested by monomach (From ecigwizard usiung 12.5% discount code). £21 delivered. Bargain.
2 x 18650 Panasonic Batteries
2 x 18350 Panasonic Batteries (Both sets from apolloEcigs using 25% discount code) £21.65 delivered.

I tried to find the codes again but I got lost in windows tabs and shut the pages I got them from down. There were easy enough to find though. Will update if I find them again. The kids are home now so I ran out of time for today.
