Positives:
-very lightweight, lighter than all my other chargers. Would be good to bring to vapemeets and comes with a durable carry bag.
-holds 2 26650's so there is a lot of room in each bay making it really easy to remove batteries from the charger.
-batteries charged on another charger will still gain 40-60 mah before showing full when put on the xtar VC2.
-digital readout shows you exactly how many mah have been charged into the battery.
-speedometer type gauges for each battery let you see quickly what the current voltage is for each battery.
-Charger and plug does not get hot during the charging process
Negatives:
-Took 1-1.5 hours longer to charge a battery than my other chargers
-device wire ends in a USB port. did not come with a traditional wall plug or wall outlet adapter. Supplier states that this is to lower the end cost to the consumer. Lititure from the supplier states that the chargers circuit detects what type of adapter you use safely. But, you must supply your own (like your cellphones for example). I don't feel this is safe and causes unneccisary risk. I can buy an adapter for $3 from a supplier, which means if i needed qty 300 to include with their chargers they could be bought for pennies each. Or, just end the wire in a traditional plug. It is common e-cig use knowledge to never charge a device off your computers USB port and certanily not off a USB to Car lighter adapter.
-One aspect of the VC2 that Xtar features in their documentation is the devices ability to "wake up" sleeping batteries. Sleeping batteries is the name they give for batteries that will hold no charge from being inactive and will not recharge on a traditional charger.
Even if this feature did work I would feel it is unsafe, mod batteries are only to be uses for say 300 charge cycles. If your battery won't hold a charge anymore or drops off its normal charge quickly the best action is to put it in the garbage not "wake it up"
Conclusion
This is a working well made charger that has some unique useful features and would be great for travel.
It adds the fullest amount of mah possible to a battery, more so than the nightcore d4 intellecharger by 40-60 mah. Most vapers already have a USB adapter so that is not a large issue but, i think the price should be 3-4 dollars cheaper AND include a plug adapter.
The Xtar VC2 is for sale at VaporKings.com for $21.95

This review is not biased because Fany still has not shown me her fanny!
