I prefer my pronunciation guide:  I haven't got one, but by all accounts the Erl is easy to build for once you get the hang of it. It can take a while to get the hang of. Basically, you need a good deal of wick in the coil, but a very small amount in the channels. Once you get it right, it works flawlessly and, by reports, tastes better than anything else. I haven't seen any reports of people using silica -- it's cotton or rayon only. Whereas the Kayfun is more fiddly to build for each time, but easier to learn. |

Sure if you want to vape at 20 watts  Although if you are asking the question, the chances are you are using a stock clearomiser, and there is no way one of those will wick the liquid fast enough in enough volume to support 20 watts. |

If you buy authentic batteries and authentic chargers and wall-warts, then you are pretty safe. Your chances of having a battery explode are probably over a thousand to one.
Which means you'll still have a thousand batteries explode on you before you win the National Lottery.
It has to happen to someone; it could be you.
So if you ever think you might be lucky enough to win, don't dismiss the idea that you might be unlucky enough to lose.
If you buy cheap, unnamed brands, the odds are much higher.

One method of rick reduction is to use a timer between the charger and the socket. or if charging from a PC, set the PC to shut down. Risk still there, but smaller. Make sure timer can handle the current you charger draws though, and operates reliably. My PC still powers the USB ports when it's switched off. YMMV. |

I have the XTAR VP1 and Hummingbird. They are great chargers. The VP1 in particular; you can't beat seeing a display of the battery voltage for peace of mind. The Hummingbird doesn't do 18650s, but it's perfect for taking to work.
The first charger I had was a Trustfire TR-001 from eBay. Absolute rubbish. So far as I can see, it is a constant voltage charger limited to 3.7V.
