@alopezg1 - I have the mvp2 and can say it is a nice solid bit of kit. I also have mech mods and a vtr which use separate batteries; I use a nitecore intellicharger which I found well recommended online - it has behaved well for me. I also gather the Xtar VP1 and Efest LUC are good.

I found this video really helpful re batteries and chargers:


I get my batteries from:

There are several threads on this forum re batteries - type, protected/unprotected etc - this one is full of useful bits:

Hope this helps - it's a start anyway. Good luck with your battery research!

Received today! really good bit of kit - thank you chainmaker

decoy - it also may be worth looking at the astro - I have ordered a couple of astro clones from fastech (not due to arrive for awhile yet!) I have a nemmy which is really nice in 18350 mode but I didn't want to risk it for out and about, so was looking for something cheap and decent that I wouldn't mind losing (well not too much anyways)

www.fasttech.com/product/1467000 - astro mixed
www.fasttech.com/product/1622600 - astro SS

they seem to have consistently good reviews. Was also considering the atom www.fasttech.com/product/1570901; although there were lots of good reviews there were a couple of mentions of cuttingly sharp threads and loose centre pins - so I decided to pass!

I think size wise in 18350 mode its nemesis>astro>atom. Having said that I gather they're all pretty small so there is prob not much in it.

Really generous offer lairey - please count me in! And thank you for the night shift bump

@purple1234 - what topper do use use on your astro in 18350 mode? I have a nemmy and taifun gt for at home but have an astro en route from fastech which I plan to use in tiny mode for out and about - was thinking of just using an iclear 30s but just compared it to the GT - about the same size i.e BIG! Or is the astro so small in 18350 mode that a big atty is still ok for carrying about?

Hi again - minor thread resurrection!

Was going to order some Caramel Blend from Joose Juice but they are out of stock so was going to get some concentrate instead. As with all shopping, things mounted up - you know the story - must order more to make postage cost efficient... oooh yes can use discount code for concentrates so should order more etc... Before I press the buy button on a possibly daft shopping basket I was wondering how long concentrates can be stored in the fridge? Taking Brambles warning on board about certain flavour concentrates being affected below 5C I reckon I'll avoid the freezer!

I still haven't actually mixed anything yet .... got sidetracked by sorting out first rba and coiling etc (that was good - another step taken ) If you can't store concs for long, then fair enough - I'll hold off buying more until I know I'll actually knuckle down and do it! Just didn't want to waste good flavours by buying in a flurry of enthusiasm then losing them due to extreme procrastination

Thanks

chykensa lairey - I'm not really trying am I? Put it this way - I really. really like Jack Daniels. My OH buys me a bottle every xmas. Sometimes - I haven't finished the last bottle yet
