Trog, I have the pen usb ecig from bestecig. It works fine on my home pc but nowhere else. I just tried a stand alone battery powered usb port but used regular household batteries and it still didn't work (but does work on my pc). As I mentioned before, the led just isn't lighting except about 1/4 of the way so I can't get the power. It was suggested I get rechargeable, at least 2400 mah bats for that thing. So what are you saying? Something less should work? It does seem I need a lot of power. I do welcome any advice on this because I am totally clueless  Thanks! Lu |

I think the point being made is - if you are going to buy rechargeable AA batteries then you might as well buy some decent ones. 2400mAh is a good starting point to aim for. I have been successfully using some really cheap (3 for a pound) NiCad batteries but I have recently bought some 2500mAh NiMh batteries. The major difference is that the 2500mAh batteries will last longer between charges and that is really what we are all aiming for.

I suggested you go for 2400 mah or greater, simply because they will give you a longer runtime. With an external pack you will have to recharge the batteries sometime. Now these batteries are very, very common, I can't understand why you can't find them. Sure you could go for lesser batteries, but they won't be much cheaper and you'll have to charge them more often, so I don't see the point.

It's funny that I looked around at some local stores online and nothing really caught my eye. But I went to Walmart for something else tonight and thought I'd check out the chargers. I did find a pretty good lookin' one and some 2450 mah batts. I was waiting for my usb cigar to actually buy them so I'll probably get it Wed. I think I'm putting it off because I'm afraid if it DOESN'T work (as the other things haven't)....I will be stuck only being able to use these at my laptop. Bummer!  Well, once again, my fingers are crossed! I'll let y'all know. Lu |

LK, you are impersonating someone else intentionally. Is this not against the rules?

Sorry LM, I didn't realize this was an old thread.
