Im Soo Pi$$ed!

personally I agree with you "I cant afford to quit" between crap kits, attys, batteries and juice Ive spent a small fortune. Im tired of making others rich from my smoking habit

I feel ya, I was a hookah smoker and I only spent about 80 bucks or so a month on it. This is gonna end up costing me 200 a month easy! I could afford it, but I'll be damned if I'll pay that!

You can get a meter for like $10-$20... it's the only definitive way to see whether an atty's totally dead... but if you're running 6v and they're not heating up, that's a pretty solid indication... still, a meter's great for getting the final word :P

I'll get one just because, but I have a feeling these attys are D.E.A.D.

Lourel is the closes one I think, but thats still a 40 min drive. I'd rather go to radioshack and pay 10 and save me the hour n a half of driving there and back in marylands crappy traffic and roads. Thanks though.

40 minutes is a bit of an exageration for Laurel from Silver Spring. Anyways, you can find a cheap one in many places.

I was thinking of something else. lol Laurel still is a 30 min drive from where I am in silver spring. Anyway, I just bought ANOTHER 4 attys, but this time I bought them through RMV instead of Nhaler (drew gave me issues when I wanted to return just 1 of the now 3 dead attys, tried making me ship it back to him then pay for shipping again to get another, thats bs, its gonna cost me more in shipping then just to buy a new atty from RMV!) Plus I heard good things about Dave from RMV so I'll give them a shot. I'm currently buying new 3.7v batteries from Battery Junction. I'm getting 2 of them. 1 to sit in the charger, and the other in my chuck. So what is the best charger to use for the 18650's? Also do I need any accessory to run my chuck at 3.7v? I can only fit 1 18650 in my chuck at a time right?

Yep, one 18650.. If you get the charger at madvapes it does the little ones and the big ones, so you could use it on your 6 volt lil guys. Its like 10 bucks. Could probably find the 18650s somewhere for cheap, I've heard ebay is a good spot.

Decided to get the charger and batts from battery junction. They got 3000mah protected button top 18650's now... for like 10 bucks a pop, I got 2 of those and a charger and found a 7% off coupon code online. So ya, not bad.

So with the 4 attys and new batts and chargers, Im out almost another $80 bucks. How F'ing great!

Thats interesting - I figure with my 901, A battery / atomizer combo only needs to last 3 days ($30 smoking in NYC) to break even, and the cost of juice is worked into that.

6v is rough to keep atty's going even by experienced users. You have to drip and keep it nice and wet and even then it definitely shortens the life span.
If your mod can handle them 18650's are really nice, a charge last's about 2 days with pretty heavy use ( I used a prodigy v1) Freshly charged they come in a bit higher than 3.7v so they are pretty satisfying and most importantly much easier on the atty's.
