    eGo T Mod charge time?

    One thing to watch with the eGo style charger is not to over tighten it, or let a heavy mod hand on the cord. Wipe the connector each and every time before you connect the mod. As with any Li-ion charger, keep flammables away from your charging station. Bad things don't happen often, but they...

    eGo T Mod charge time?

    Ha, I use the eGo charger to charge my home made 18650, parallel 18650, and 26650 mods (and a 32650 5000mah mod). Unlike your eGo Mod that charges automatically, I have to hold the switch down to charge. You have a couple more hours to go :) The little eGo charger will handle the job just...

    Is it OK to freeze unflavored nicotine e-liquid? Other related questions...

    and PG is an alcohol (C3H8O2). PG based or VG based unflavored will NOT freeze at 'home freezer' temperatures. Might seem cold to you, but it ain't really.

    eGo T Mod charge time?

    The chargers are usually rated at 420ma, but that is peak current. It will fall to almost nothing for the last hour or so. If you have a 1000mah eGo, 5 hours is probably a little long, Keep an eye on it, another hour or so then disconnect it, and go ahead and vape it. Try again tomorrow.

    How do the Chinese do it? Making Stuff for us?

    I think the biggest killer of Chinese e-cig products is the American consumer. The tobacco cigarette, not a cheap thing any more, is pretty darn delicate. You had to be a klutz to break a bunch of those. But when you see posts about my eGo just fell apart (in my pocket), or my tank just...

    Why did both my 14650 e-power batteries fail on the same day?

    The e-power switch should be able to handle 1.7 ohms. If they aren't actually 1.5 ohms. The older switch units had a problem with 1.5 ohms and a freshly charged cell. Max voltage/low ohms caused some failures. The newer switches seem to be better. Having a spare $10 switch wouldn't be a...

    Why did both my 14650 e-power batteries fail on the same day?

    I protect the top and bottom end of protected cells with a wrap of thin heat resistance Kapton tape (the yellow stuff) that can be bought from DealExtreme. Just don't buy batteries from them :). Theirs is probably fake, but it works. The thin metal strip that goes up the side in underneath...

    Digital Pipettes?

    My DIY Nic Juice costs me about 7 cents a ml to make. I use about 5ml a day. The $700 digital pipette would only add 1 cent per ml to my cost. (based on a 39 year life span). I would only have to use the $200 one for 11 years to make the 1 cent per ml cost. :)

    New 510 eGo Mega Dual Coil Cartomizer has arrived

    Most folks seem to cough and gag when they started smoking. Seems to happen all over again when you start vaping. Go slow, you're doing great :)

    Faulty Battery/Charger On My New eGo??

    I would vape each battery a while and put them back on charge and watch them closely. The transition to charge termination (red to green) isn't instantaneous and can vary depending on the state of charge when you started charging. When a cell goes from red to solid green take it off for a...

    Why did both my 14650 e-power batteries fail on the same day?

    By not taking care of those protected Li-ion cells and damaging the plastic wrapper you narrowly avoided a thermal mishap and possible injury. The charger (if it's the boat tailed looking one) cuts the plastic if you are not super careful. Do a little reading on protected cells, the protection...

    Mod with Safety issues???

    Hopefully not too far off topic here, but a laptop has one really good safety feature that a removable cell, user configurable (single or stacked cells) PV doesn't have: LIMITED HUMAN ACCESS TO THE CELLS. Most laptops packs with triple chained series/parallel Li-ion cells that I have taken...

    Connecting resistance to NR

    You could set up an oxygen free carbon powder pot like they use for welding thermocouple wires of different alloys. Sounds like a lot of trouble but they can be handy. Of course if you put it away and can't find it, it don't work. :) 1.5 inch pipe cap, variac, and an ounce of carbon powder...

    batterys and hot places

    From a strictly electronics standpoint (protection circuit, PWM circuit, Buck/Boost regulators) storage temperature is usually specified higher than operating temperature. It would be possible to fry an electronic circuit if powered up over the operating temperature limit. If operation also...

    Nicotine Comparisons

    I've found that a few hours is necessary for Nic juice from the freezer to warm, thin back to normal. I usually take it out, shahe the sheet out of it and let the bubbles clear. You could always make up something like my 'DR. Kavorky' to check thickness, and adjust your mixes to about the same...
