    CR123 batteries - safety related questions

    I am using a Buzz Pro, which is great and has many safety built-in mechanisms like: 3 vent holes, short circuit and over current protection, a in line diode that will heat up and melt off of the PCB from excess heat over 3 amps, plastic cap etc. But my concern are the Powerizer CR123A 650 mAh...

    Local NW Floridian with severe injuries from exploding ecig battery

    That's not the point. I am only trying to educate myself as much as possible and learn how to properly take care of batteries/chargers and stay as safe as possible. There is much more info available now about safety on ECF than before.

    Local NW Floridian with severe injuries from exploding ecig battery

    I don't think we can compare mobile phones with e-cigs. I am vaping way more often than talking on my phone. As about laptops, they usually sit on a table and only seldom we use them over our feet. An e-cigarrete is something much more intimate! It's a different product.

    Local NW Floridian with severe injuries from exploding ecig battery

    It is not a loud noise. You can hear only if it is very quiet or you bring it close to the ears. It is the noise of a transformer. It is probably the expected behavior with these chargers, $15. What actually bothers me is that it is not the PV which I am afraid to use, is these low cost...

    Local NW Floridian with severe injuries from exploding ecig battery

    Well, with the risk of everybody disagreeing with me let me tell you that I am afraid now!!!! Why? Because it's not the same as driving. When I'm driving I know that I depend on my skills and that if I do wear the safety belt and most importantly I am not speeding my chances of having an...

    How to Test a Charger?

    Thanks. I have also researched and found out about Pila. However it seems Pila is not officially supporting charging other batteries than Pila: source 1, source 2. However it seems to work just fine. Regarding how to check your charger I have found this to be useful.

    How to Test a Charger?

    I do own a Fluke 175 (don't ask why I do own one, I am not sure either) and I have measured the voltage on the TR-0001 without batteries and it reads 4.229 V. I did not test with the batteries in yet. You have mentioned you can test the mAh. How? I have set my multimeter to read mA - DC and...

    Powerizers and other questions

    I have several questions about the Powerizer batteries (I own for the moment only 2 of them ordered from Notcigs, and I am waiting for 4 more to be shipped): - What is the maximum discharge for Powerizer Li-Ion batteries (Ampers)? - Where are they made? China? USA? - What kind of built-in...

    vaporization - what's so special about it?

    I have read somewhere that we should have been vaping all along this time but we did not had the technology to do this so we where smoking. Why? Why was so difficult to build a vaporizer? Thanks

    The Powerizer RCR123A batteries are not protected, but the Buzz Pro mod is protected. What are the implications of this? Thanks.

    Question about batteries

    I am using Powerizer CRC123A Li-Ion rechargeable batteries in my new received Buzz Pro. I have seen that some people recommended checking the batteries with a Volt meter. Why? What are the dangers? How to tell when a battery must be thrown away?

    newbie and new Buzz Pro user, a few questions

    No. Maybe just the shipping time, it took about 3 weeks, but that was to be expected using the cheapest shipping method. And I paid a small amount of tax at customs (about 25-30 USD) as it was delivered from USA and not from EU, also to be expected. But no other problems at all. Here there are...

    newbie and new Buzz Pro user, a few questions

    Actually I do have some problems: 1. The maine one: air flow is obstructed somehow if I do not keep is a distance between the carto and the battery as seen in the picture. Is this normal? What is a "slotted screw"? What pin should I pry? I am using Boge 3.0 ordered from Notcigs along with my...

    newbie and new Buzz Pro user, a few questions

    Hello Buzz Army, I had collected my Buzz Pro a couple of days from mail and I had a few problems in the beginning making it produce vapor and getting some liquid in my mouth. I have tried a few things and it seems that the problem is that I screwed the cartomizer too much, now I made it work...
