    Fix your electric before you burn your house down, and PT's are the least of your issue.

    Poor wiring doesn't cause power surges.

    Hope the Kensington does the trick for you. But please, look into getting the wiring fixed. There is something in NY called Bishop Sheen that gives assistance with needed home repairs. Perhaps Jersey has something similar.

    >>Batterys don't charge fully even when I leave them charging for 8+ hours. <<

    Not saying you don't have wiring problems. You do. So do I. I'm running more per circuit than you are.

    If you are charging your batteries off of your computer you either have computer problems or the devices plugged into your computer are defective. If you are powering the pt's off an independent charger your charger is probably bad. This all assuming you didn't get 5 bad pt's in a row. Unlikely.

    Battery chargers are a lot less sensitive to power fluctuations than computers and monitors. If the computer is working then the charging system should work. It's very very unlikely it's a house wiring problem. Forgetting the fire hazard.

    If I was there I could probably figure it out. Yea well. Try moving the system to another room or better yet another house and see if your batteries charge.

    You have a mystery. I'm betting on the charging system whether it's a computer or independent supply.

    By the way, how do you kkow the batteries aren't charging?

    i charge the batteries forever and they last 20-30mins tops and dont have enuff juice to get a good vape like a PT does, but then on the other side of the coin, The PTs are too powerful and overheat my cartomizers/attys and then they fry.

    Take your wall chargers for your 510 batteries and move 'them' into a different room on a different circuit.

    If you have a circuit breaker box it is easy to find a different circuit. First thing in the morning move that 510 charger to a different room--on the other side of the house. Plug it in, put the batteries in it. Flip off all the 20/30amp switches...turn the one on you think goes to that room. Go back inside and see if the charger lights are on--do this until they are.

    Now go into the living room (the room you are in) and see if any of your equipment in there will turn on...if they do, move the chargers to a different room. (and don't do any of what I said more than this one time).

    (my opinion).
