I have a nitecore i4 charger and some AW IMR's I use for my ecigs. So I'm confortable with changing cells all the time. Just wondering, as the inhalater uses a 18650 cell as well, is it an option to pull it out every time and charge it in a decent charger?
I wouldn't unless they beefed up the wires that run up and down the unit. I replaced my cell with an AW IMR right when I got it(3 months ago or so), and while it wasn't hard, I could see repetitive openings would most likely end in the thin wires getting messed up. The cell they have in there is very good for this application. AW IMRs are over kill, but I did notice slightly quicker warm-ups, and slightly better heat retention, but was mostly noticeable on a fresh charge.
They also put out conflicting info on battery replacement. Initially they said its fine for you to replace it, but later stated its best to send it in. It's probably better for most folks to send it in, but if you like to tinker with stuff like this, its pretty easy, but delicate. Hopefully they have a more defined guideline for battery replacement for the XP.
I'm looking forward to reviews, but I'm pretty sure most folk will like their unit if its even only a small upgrade to the 0004.
I've been using mine nearly every day for out and about use, and have enjoyed it, but I don't think the polyamide is my thing, so I will be moving on, but I may be back, who knows...
