I can with the firmest integrity heavily endorse my own personal after genuine direct experience and any body’s recommendation of this charger.
I’ll explain: I’ve used my Ispire since purchase in latter 2021 as a pass through 18650 charger only since owning it, with only 2 batteries too which arrived with the unit in 2021.
V rarely leaving home this approach surprisingly sufficed although never optimum, but very workable until I’d spend more time away from home.
I always intended solidly to get a decent separate 18659 charger and spare batteries too so can simply switch out in 1 second recharge dead 2.
I have exactly this really appreciable convenience now! But I was unprepared for a few specific features of this charger, vs pass through IH’s because I also have used much less though, to recharge 18650’s in Vapefiend’s excellent too YLL induction heater which IME charges better as a pass through and faster vs the Ispire, which still works except:
The Ispire can be finicky there like a variable unpredictable mind of it’s own, literally “now and then” it struggles to raise battery levels, for a day or half but never once has it failed to work every bit I actually need daily, even when it’s temporarily not recharging normally
At those points though I began using the YLL to quickly recharge then showed charged status and worked again in Ispire.
So finally I had an actual 18659 compatible charger and 4 batteries in total, 2 needed every 24 hrs about.
I’ve used only the same 2 18650’s since 2021 daily practically, performing seemingly well enough still.
Before using the charger I tried the 2 not used 18650’s surprised to see one was flat the other 1 bar only.
I just expected too, this Q2S charger, or all external chargers to recharge v fast.
So I was surprised seeing actually it does take a little while this charger which I also believe may charge slightly sooner vs others unsure but I know the difference is minimal.
Maybe 2 hours. But, I swear the 18650’s hold notably more power, more longevity and slower bar dropping with use, vs passing through any IH.
I cannot discern any performance or longevity between charges, between the OG 2021 batteries and the 2 unused until recent.
However- the 2 original batteries now last notably longer than maybe ever since I’ve owned them?
As if this Q2S Charger effectively revived them! Another surprise.
It’s super cheap too guys so so easy neat simple light small simple quick to use, it arrived with an awesome different USB adapter I love too.
And it charges my batteries much better than I’m used to or expected.
Was it worthy? Crikey yesss!
Bottom line IF you want a v good well built dead simple lightweight neat small so easy to use and still cheap as chips charger where like myself, 4 batteries rotating requiring maybe 2 hrs to fully recharge, I can emphatically recommend this unit here!
The other options offered here, I truly cannot speak for but if you wish to learn what might be different itr I suggest phoning the guys here? They’ll tell you instantly exactly.
Most amazingly friendly helpful super patient tolerant understanding allowing and most professional still too people holding up Vapefiend I swear, and without any single sense of sacrifice on the humanity level too, too rare in this growing cold ignorant Digital age.
