Battery Info for the Chuck

[Valentine Michael Smith]

Apperantly all the flashlight guys have "seen the light" .....

Can you imagine having a flashlight and PV obsession at the same time?

I can only imagine having to choose between being able to vape and blind my neighbor with a 30,000,000 candle power or whatever-rating-they-use flashlight.....

Combination flashlight and PV anyone? Wonder how many mah you need for that thing?

HEY DROZD, empty out your pm mailbox! You are stuffed full.

They exist. Some mods have little bulb attachments for the end cap. Good in a blackout I guess, but bad for stealth vaping.

Got a question... I saw where at one time you could us CR2 batts, but needed a sleeve that no longer seems available. I have 6 new CR2 Protected batts from MadVapes and wanted to know what I need to do to use them.

Edit: These are protected, or I would not even consider using them personally.

Best charger to buy for 18350's? And where to buy it from? These are too fat for my current chargers. I am guessing to just get one from mad vapes but they do have two models or is there a better model from someone else.

Thanks in advance!

 

[Poeia]

Amy, I think they only carried the cheap one (or that's the only one they had in stock) when I first bought.

 

[AmyB66]

The good one from lighthound that I had bought for my 18650's does work with the spacers. Whew. I had that out on loan and didn't think it would but found out it did. Thanks Poeia!

 

[AmyB66]

Yikes! I just grabbed my little cig case that I keep a set of spare batts in. I have a set of lifepo4's, about a year old, the plastic housing looks shredded off and the positive ends are blown out, melted, scorched. What caused that. Kinda freaks me out!

I am wondering the same thing as I never did do it before because it indeed did give me a headace..the more I read it the more I am lost even when I had gotten direct links to thing.

I also want to use my ego carts on the big chuck and cant figure that out either..

scratching my head...lol

 

[pnc81498]

Well I have been happy using the low res cartos on the chuck. And use the provari for 6v vaping so I stopes my search figure did I really need more batt to charge?

I am wondering about the new 5 volt battery from electronicstix.com
anyone tried it? Same length as 18650????????? HHhhhmmmmmmmm

Ihave used CR123s many times without the sleeve.............well, for three years anyway!

 

[AmyB66]

Sleeve? My protected batts need another sleeve?

PS, haven't tried five volt batts but I have a five volt chuck. If you are currently building, have Jeff fix one up for you.

 

[Poeia]

Bonnie, I haven't tried them but my impressions are:
1) They aren't Li-Ion or LiPo, they're NIHM. That's what drugstore batteries are. They are inherently more stable than lithium batteries and don't need "protection." You'd have to check with them if they use the same charger as your 18650s.
2) They come in 400mAh and 600mAh. A basic eGo lasts longer between charges.

 

[MastiffMike]

I have some of the 4.8v batteries (bought from Super-T though they're the same).

WARNING: Do NOT use a normal charger for them! You have to use the charger designed for them!

As far as how long they last, I have no idea because I don't have anything that uses that size (don't ask why I bought batteries when i don't have a pv that they fit in... it's a long sad story...). I have heard from others though that the mAh rating is very conservative and they last much longer than it would have you believe, but I can't personally verify that.
