Kinda off topic ... but I put a cheap 24 hour timer plug on my electric blanket on my bed. Don't have to wonder If I shut it off now.Even with a good charger, I back it up with a little $13 Belkin timed outlet switch, set for 6 hour cutoff
Is it an X-tar? I love how you can do different batteries in mine. Not that I ever use anything but 18650s, but you never know when tech will change again, lol.
That makes sense. I don't leave mine unattended while they are charging, but I do feel safe enough to use passthrough when I am in the vicinity. I even use it in my car (GASP!). I am always aware of what's going on with my mod, though, so I guess that's why I feel a (false?) sense of security.

Yes, I like how the display shows the current voltage and how many mah have been put on during the charge.
How, though? I guess that's what I don't understand. If the battery is going to vent (never have had that happen with any battery), would it not vent either in the mod or in the charger? I guess I just don't get why it's safer for it to vent in the charger than in the mod. Except that it might ruin the mod, but it would also ruin the charger and possibly the surrounding items if it went off in the charger, wouldn't it?
That's what mine does, too. I can also choose to rapid charge or slow charge so I use that feature a lot.
I love surprises!!!!Tik Tok...still have 3 days for this thread. Then we will select 3 to get secret prizes!!
I think there is something very attractive in the form of this Wismec RX200 (I prefer the White)
Initial thoughts are that would be quite heavy for carrying around but we go fishing a lot and the battery life would be amazing. I also would make a lanyard for it. Wismec make such good looking mods and have the Joyetech chipset (which I trust).
I also love secret prizes.
Good luck everyone

This is a pv that takes names and kicks ..... 200w and three full 18650 batteries. In a pinch it could probably be used to jump start a car. A simpler user interface than its dna200 sibling, for those of us who aren't too into the low level details. A price point that makes it accessible to a wide audience.
I have a feeling they say this due to how slow it charges the three cells....i plugged it in last night around 12....they were almost done this morning[emoji14]

Most mods now have the same type of protections...and this one does. Not only does it monitor for over voltage, it also monitors for balance between cells and will shut down for that.

I think it's more about using it as a pass through (vaping while charging). I read somewhere that it was dangerous. The science behind why it wasn't safe made a lot of sense when I read it. If I come across it again I will post it for you.
'zactly. The nearest vape shop is 3 miles. The nearest RC hobby shop is 73. THAT is why I prefer 18650s over replaceable lipo packs.
I don't think I would be overly concerned about charging in the mod, but wouldn't want to do pass-thru, vaping while charging. It seems it would generate more heat than I would be comfortable with. I don't vape in high wattage, but there would be some guy pass-thru vaping at 200w. I imagine that would get those 3x18650's pretty toasty, charging and chain vaping at 200w simultaneously.
Most mods...actually none that i know of....actuallu do pass through. They allow vaping while charging, but the current is still being drawn from the battery. Newer mods often shut off the charge current when vaping and switch it back on after (dna200 does this, dont know about this mod yet).

I have shops pretty close. Well, nothing is really close, i live pretty remote, but i have a couple rc car shops not much farther then the nearest vape shop [emoji14]

This may very well be true (I really don't doubt it) but the second issue is a bad battery. There have been extensive tests/issues about some companies who re wrap the lower grade batteries as their own, or inflate the specs. There are also some people who will try and use an 18650 made for a laptop for instance, "because it will fit," and it just isn't worth the risk. It was either Baditude or Mooch who said 90% of battery failures occur during recharge. This fact alone tells me to use the independent charger rather than rely on the pass thru. For someone with extensive vape experience it may not be a problem to try and/or use the pass through, when the manufacturer recommends using an independent one it's probably a good idea to listen. It could be as you stated above "I have a feeling they say this due to how slow it charges the three cells", it could also be a heat related issue, or simply a recommendation because of people trying to use under spec cells and thus the potential for product harm or personal injury.
