    Nicotine Comparisons

    I agree about heating in the microwave. Some, if not all of the ingredients produce flammable vapors (except the water maybe). WOW, microwave parts could hurt !!! I have now added some RTS Nic to my stash (Rocket has RTS Nic?). Didn't smell like no dirty socks to me, but maybe my dirty...

    SmokTech Telescope is air tight!

    Real men don't vape eGos :) (sort of a - bigger the truck - thing )

    Twice as good I bet :)

    Are Charging Bag's Really Necessary?

    HaHA, thanks for posting this. a 99 cent ebay bag. About as good as the free bags walmart give out at the registers :) They can get away with anything.

    Are Charging Bag's Really Necessary?

    Ever burn a BlueRay disk in your laptop? You think 4 to 5 amps is a light load? Even watching a 2 hour DVD depletes some laptop packs with 6 18650 cells. The ones with 9 18650 cells can almost run 2 movies :)

    Are Charging Bag's Really Necessary?

    I hear all this talk about 4 stage chargers. How many 3 stage chargers are there, how many 2 stage chargers? What are the 4 stages? How many stages does your cell phone have? Or your laptop? It's easy to 'Name Drop' or 'Cut and Paste', or say 'you get what you pay for'. How many have opened...

    bigger cells just mean you don't have to stop and fill up as often

    Are Charging Bag's Really Necessary?

    Somewhat, but no direct experience with that model. I have used 'Hybrid' 26650 cells, and the IMR ones. The protection in the literature is a PTC type device that will shut off current flow if the the internal temperature of the cell goes too high. Many cells use this method. The 'hybrid'...

    Are Charging Bag's Really Necessary?

    Don't question my credentials on this one, but I would think smaller cells that get hit pretty hard, harder than larger cells (notice all the specifics here) would see a shorter life span. Not necessarily getting more dangerous, just a blending of chemistry that when separated, worked better...

    Are Charging Bag's Really Necessary?

    I think most manufacturers spec life time using something close to 50% Too lazy to check right now. Here's something about a Tenergy Li-ion cell: # Cycle Performance: 90% of initial capacity at 400 cycles # Cycle life: > 500 cycles What does that mean? 90% @ 400 cycles ??% @ >500cycles and...

    Are Charging Bag's Really Necessary?

    capacity balance test for the penny wise :) If two cells come off the charger at about the same voltage, and , after vaping for a while, but before either cell reaches cutoff voltage, still have about the same voltage, they held up under load about equally. Those two cells have about the...

    Are Charging Bag's Really Necessary?

    Yes, I believe that dendrites are considered to be a primary cause of catastrophic failure. The separator (between the spiral wound electrodes), especially as manufacturers try to increase cell capacity by thinning the separator is an accepted weak point in the design. Extreme raw material...

    Home dry cleaning :) If you build it they will come, If you sell it they will buy it, If you don't think someone will try it, You is stupid :)

    Are Charging Bag's Really Necessary?

    documentation? expertise? nope, just making this stuff up as I go along. The separators inside a Li-ion cell, degrade with time, storage at high full charge voltages stresses separators, and they leak ions between the electrodes when at a low voltage, and in general are eroded away with time...

    Are Charging Bag's Really Necessary?

    Nope. I can't even say for sure that the chargers are what cause old style eGos to pop and go rocketing around the room, and I don't know what voltage the cells in PVs that popped when they came off the charger, Or which brand of charger the vapers were using before they went to the...

    Stretch them pennies :) Two lines of thought here: These old cells have demonstrated excellent long term stability, or These old cells are getting old :)

    Are Charging Bag's Really Necessary?

    Breeze, Hitting the little 18350 cells with vaping current will warm them up more that a charger. A charger and cells will work properly, until they don't, duh :) When cells start to lose charge life, it's obvious it's time to replace them, but when a charger fails, the use immediately...
