Anyone know where the VP1 is in stock? - or at least an estimate of when it might come back in stock? Every site I’ve tried has them listed as out of stock or backordered

[Ouchyfoot]

I just got one. I was going to give you a link…but…sold out too.

Edit:
Wallbuys had it in stock. (link and price removed)

It will take some time before the product is sent. If you are not familiar with wallbuys, you can read up on them in other threads. Some people are not happy with them.
(please, no wallbuys talk in this thread!)

That video posted longer up in this thread. The charger looks really nice! drool…

[myst999]

Thanks for the link! I will definitely read those threads.

could someone explain briefly what those charging levels mean?.
say if I place an 18650 in to fully charge, how long in minutes would each of those levels take to charge?.
if anything else could be added, much appreciated.

thank you.

Well, just divide 18650 or any other cell capacity. 2600 mAh / 250 mA = 11 hours of charging 0.3-0.5C charging rate is more than enough (i.e. 30-50% of total capacity. If your cell is 3000 mA, don’t charge it at more than 1500 mAh (50%))

[malkoff_junkie]

many thanks.
appreciated that.

You can always check my review for current settings and charge time (My curves show charge time in minutes).

[malkoff_junkie]

It may be in the next months group buy for xx$ if they are able to get some in stock.

Edit: price removed

Interested Thanks

someone might miss this good charger because of WB's our of stock.

I just got a news, a new batch of VP1 has arrived. Here

[kuoh]

Guess I’ll “Gegister” with WB and get one, unless the group buy is going forward. In which case, I’d be in for one.

[RaceR86]

As people have seen. The charger is now in stock. Unfortunately Wallbuys can not put it in their group buy in the beginning of next month.

“and now our supplier just give us 10 pcs to us, so we can not start a group buy plan , but in the end of April ,we will try our best to do it”

Edit: price removed. They sold it too cheap.

Could always turn your FT $8.00 charger into an $11.00 charger:
