cybervex answered my questions regarding voltage drop off in a PM and validated my observations. Good communication with Jay all along the way.

I bought a battery charger last week:

Tenergy Charger for Li-ion Cylindrical Batteries $16.95

... and I think it's defective or the led lighting is messed up. I put two batts in and one light is green, one red. I switch batts and the same lights are the same color. If I take one out, then the light on the one the battery is turns red (as it should be) and while they do charge - testing with multimeter - sometimes the light changes to a 'yellow' and sometimes green or doesn't change at all. I'm guessing that's not usual. :-) Anyone have experience with this charger - seems to be popular. No manual.....

Jay also sells versions without the lights and USB options. Just a standard box mod with Button, on off switch, and choice of atty connector and color.

I don't have need for the usb and I prefer no lights. I have a charger for my batts already.

I opted for 2 510 box mods for 60.00. Nice to have a back up.

Price:

30.00 Shipped First Class

add 6.00 for Priority Shipping

I really like that matte green color.

Hey Gang!

I performed a "stress test" on my Bartleby this past week. Here is the test procedure and results.

Procedure:

1) Donned vest and snorkel gear on an island in the Caribbean
2) Forgot to remove my Bartleby from my swimming trunks pocket
3) Went snorkeling (saw pretty fish and corals)
4) Felt Bartleby in my pocket on a back swing.
5) Said "OH SH!T" while underwater
6) Swam back to shore
7) Took out my Bartleby and opened the back
8) Removed 510 Atty and Cart
9) Let air dry
10) Looked at it 10 mins later and noticed that it was corroding inside
11) Removed Battery (forgot to do that first)
12) Took everything inside and rinsed the unit in "fresh water" (if you can call it that in the Bahamas)
13) Dried unit with paper towels
14) SCRUBBED corrosion off of positive Battery terminal
15) Dried battery and put it back in unit
16) Re-attached Atty and Cart

Results:

Damn thing STILL WORKS!!!! Hasn't skipped a beat.

I will need to place a few drops of WD-40 onto the switch as the metal on the switch has rusted a tad and I can't clean it easily.

I hope no one else will be as stupid as I was, but if you are, I hope that you are as LUCKY as I was as well!

Peace!

Yeah, that green is pretty nice.

Wished I knew these come prepainted before I purchased mine.

The matte green looks sweet!

Jay built and shipped mine I guess on Monday. Got it this morning. I had just convinced my dad to try out a 510 kit when the package came. I opened mine up, inserted battery, filled cart, vaped like a mofo, and then gladly handed my dad my 510 kit. Nuff said. Great work Jay! Thanks a million!

BTW- does anyone know if the USB on my car stereo will push enough power to charge this badboy so that I could passthrough wile driving?
