was skimming thru my list of 'watched' threads and noticed the MVP Owners group was LOCKED wow!

how times have changed (in vapin' terms) - still have to give full recognition for the MVP making it possible, for me, to make the switch to vapin...



it was very sad to delete it from the list

The MVP is certainly one of the most iconic pieces of vape gear. I still feel it is a strong recomendo to newbs. It was also the device that allowed me to get off the stinkies.

My VV V3's (which charge at 500mAh) came with a THIN white USB cable (with that retractor thingie).

My iStick-30W's and iStick-TC40W's (which charge at 1A) came with a THICK black USB cable.

Would it be unsafe to use the thin white USB cables to charge my iStick-30W/TC40W mods???

Safety is a relative term. If you feel safe using a wire rated for half the current load that you plan on putting on it, go right ahead. Be aware that Ohms Law comes in to play here and the smaller the wire, the higher the resistance and, hence, the bigger the loss. In this case charging current. That means longer charge time as well as that loss generating heat. Now whether or not that's a lot of heat, relative to surface area, is a whole other question, but sticking with a cable rated for the current being used is always a good idea.

Incidentally, I charge my one amp rated devices with a USB cable that is rated for two amps. Delivers the current with minimal loss which results in maximum speed. I can tell you that I use that thin white cable, for convenience, when programming my DNA200 mods. When plugged into my PC using one of those 2 amp rated cables it charges at 500ma. With that thin one, all it can do is about 250ma. Just saying....

Or just use the thick black one to charge the VV3s as well?

Thanx awsum and David...

You've confirmed what I suspected was true...

I was hoping I was wrong...those thin Innokin USB cords (with the retractor) are so convenient/compact when plugged into my 5-port charging station.

Gerry, that type of wire is an inherently poor conductor. It's usually made of a flat, foil on plastic instead of wire or extremely thin wire to make it as flexible as it is. It sure is cornvenient, I love it when fooling with the DNA200, but for serious charging nothing beats a 2 amp, or better, cable.

 

[Katdarling]

Cornvenient.

I like it, awsum!!!!!

I just wanted to thank Innokin (and @Innokin_Ash ) for the great contest, and I am enjoying my new toy a lot. Still a fan, and still LOVING, the original CFIV, this is a wonderful addition to my vaping family.

You guys sure do make some great stuff. Thank you.

I'm never really in a situation where I need "serious charging".

I have enough Mods in my Rotation that I'm never sitting around waiting for a Mod to charge.

I just plug in the 5 Mods with the lowest remaining battery into my charging station before I hit the sack. So if they charge in 2 hours or 6 hours...it really doesn't matter...I'm sleeping...

[I'm aware of the mantra..."Never Charge Batteries Unattended!!!". But...there are not infrequent night house fires in The 'Burgh that end up being attributed to a faulty refrigerator...and I, nevertheless, continue to leave my refrigerator plugged in at bedtime... ]

There are actually 6 Ps, but I think the obfuscator would kill the 4th word. Rhymes with kiss, though...

Which reminds me that I've REALLY got to...

I just wanted to say Thank You to followers of this thread. You all have been generous with the links to
Innokin mods at great prices!
Life has happened lately and I don't get much time to read and post on the ECF, but I know what is going down in DC.
This is why I am thankful for the info. I have been prepared for deeming for a few months now, and can vape for the next 10 years. I would not have been if it wasn't for the great buys.

Nice kit. Decent price. Wish my personal set of rules allowed me to have more than one of any item...

Actually, you need 3 of each. You know, backups for your backup.
