    Wizard Labs Nic Base Reviews

    It's a shame you have to go to a Chinese website to get a single page from a U.S. published document :) You can do the same thing for the UK EP6 Monograph.

    Wizard Labs Nic Base Reviews

    You could contact a qualified vendor. They could e-mail their lab which could look up the test procedures, limit for contaminants, and the range of purities that meet the USP monograph for L-Nicotine, CAS 54-11-5. Or, you could just guess :)

    Wizard Labs Nic Base Reviews

    Correct, for now. The FDA has put very stringent controls on Glycerin, and Propylene glycol. The applies to sealed containers, shipping and distribution, and repackaging for sale. Even Chinese VG and PG must meet these requirements when imported. The foreign source must be FDA approved for USP...

    Wizard Labs Nic Base Reviews

    There are several 'chemical' methods to extract nicotine. Most of them sound scary to me. It's not only the non nicotine in the tobacco that needs to be removed but also processing chemicals. Absolutely pure nicotine can have a yellow tint immediately after processing. Being water clear is...

    Just a chemistry question. What makes nicotine density exceed 1.009? In this test report it's 1.099 g/ml.

    Riva charger

    The Riva charger, if it is a 'good' one is compatible with the eGo. What are your plans if your one charger dies? A 'spare' charger is just as important as a spare battery.

    I just killed a KGO battery and my charger in one shot. Help.

    My wife did that ONCE to an eGo charger. She has issues with "righty-tighty, lefty-loosy".

    possible to solder leads back on an ego?

    When you get it all fixed you will have a PV wilh a loose and weak 'nose' end to point at your face while vaping. The negative wire goes from the bottom of the cell to the bottom cap and to the board. The positive goes from the cell to a point on the lower end of the board across from the...

    Battery made a whistling noise when I tried to charge it... (AW IMR 18650 High Drain)

    It is most likely the charger making the noise. The DC to DC section of the charger operates at a high frequency. Although too high for us to hear, it can mechanically vibrate internal components at a frequency we can hear. It is most likely when charging current is the highest, often noticed...

    4.8v batteries in proVari?

    The 4.8 cell stack in an unregulated mod could probably handle a 1.8 ohm atty. Wouldn't last as long between charges (they are only 600mah, less at high current). Should be usable in any unregulated tube or box mod designed for a single 18650. Without any electronics to worry about frying a...

    4.8v batteries in proVari?

    The "power" from the battery will be about 10% higher than "power" delivered to the atty. In the example you gave that is right at the 2.5 amp output limit of the Provari (2.625 amps is pretty good). The input amps would be 3.3 amps, which is easily supplied from almost any good Li-ion cell...

    4.8v batteries in proVari?

    killo, the 4.8 volt Nimh battery is a stack of 600mah 1.2 volt cells. Drawing current to drive the Provari at 10 watts output is straining this little battery stack. I know that the 4.8v seems like a cure-all for the 3.7v limitation of the Li-ion but it really isn't. I'm pretty sure the...

    4.8v batteries in proVari?

    Still asking? If the overvoltage 4.8 volt battery damaged the protection circuitry inside the Provary would it now be a dangerous device to use with Li-ion? Why not ask the vendor if he would replace it if you killed it playing with strange battery combinations. I sure hope you get your 'herb'...

    4.8v batteries in proVari?

    Sort of like "can I get more storage space on my 500MB external hard drive if I run it on 12v instead of 5v from the USB? Or will it just run faster?"

    Exploding Njoy

    If this was an outright lie then some type of action should be taken against the little old lady and the "reporter". The reporter should lose her press card. The next thing you know the networks will be telling us who to vote for. How about contacting a competing station to report on the...

    Colorado man sues after explosion

    It addition to educating folks about battery safety how about power safety. Stacking 2 small cells to get 6 or 7 volts then slapping a low resistance atty or carto on it is 'pushing the envelope' even for 'good' cells and downright dangerous for less than good cells. Some 16340, RCR123A cells...

    Colorado man sues after explosion

    sailorman, I agree with your reply to my sarcastic comment about industry standards. I've belonged to most of the organizations I listed so I know how industry chaired Quality Assurance works and how you end up with a wide range of inputs from members. Voluntary guidance doesn't have the same...
