    If you have two batteries in series that are discharging unevenly, it is because the internal resistance of the batteries are not equal. This could be due to one battery being older than the other, or one battery not being up to spec. I'd suggest charging both batteries and immediately after...

    V8 Issue/Question Been using my V8 for several weeks. New rubberized Black unit arrived at home, and I'm out on the Rodeo Circuit, so it will be next week before I can use the new unit. Had an issue arise today with my Black V8. Charged the batteries, filled a CE5+, set the output to 3.2...

    Tim, I stand corrected in that the term "Inductive Reactance" was not used. The term "Inductive Resistance" was used in Posts 32390 and 35741 (which I quoted). There is no such thing as "Inductive Resistance", but only Reactance, and I'll drop it right there as I was only trying to point...

    A more simple way to state the Inductive Reactance thing is "Just Vape It!" RodeoGeorge

    I've had Tim at Serenity Gear make a custom Drop Holster for my LavaTube, and also one for my Provari. This was before he put the Drop Holsters back on the site. The quality and craftsmanship rivals the Zenesis. Because of the Bottom Firing Button, the Zenesis switch would have to be...

    Gee I hate to get techie, but I have seen Inductive Reactance mentioned several time in this thread regarding the Coils. Inductive Reactance is, in laymens terms, resistance in an AC CIRCUIT. It does not exist in a DC Circuit. Inductive Reactance (written as X sub L) is equal to 2 times...

    FYI While waiting for the Standard, purchased the night of the Midnight Madness, I decided to purchase a spare Tank and some Wick Insulators. I went to the Web Site Saturday evening, and both items were Out Of Stock. I completed the "Notify Me" option for both of the items. I checked the...

    Looks like a microphone stand to me. Tomorrow when I'm out in Sound Trailer I'll dig out a few Mic Stands (I have several for various microphones) and measure the diameter of the "holders". Might be a souce for an inexpensive device. RodeoGeorge

    Eric, There are several chargers out there that use different schemes for the charge state. The UltraFire that I have (WF-139) uses only the Red and Green. Red = Charging, Short Green Blinks when checking status, and solid Green when charged. The Soshine (SC-S2) uses only Red and Green, but...

    bigpman, The green blink is normal operation. As you were told, it is when the charger checks the current battery voltage. On SOME chargers, the green will hold for an increasing period of time as the battery nears full charge, and then remain on when fully charged. My UltraFie charger for...

    I found out 33 years ago that I am alergic to alcohol, so quit drinking any alcohol back then. When I drank alcohol, I would break out in spots. Like Chicago, Georgia, Florida. Was drinking on Okinawa once, and woke up in Osan Korea. That was a real gaggle. LOL RodeoGeorge

    Mine is very similar to the one you have shown. A little more open on one side, and as Lord stated most likely a function of the mold. Unlike kalebk07, most of the time when I remove an eGo style device the adapter comes out with it. I then gently use pliers to remove the adapter from the...

    Next VIP Meet: Sunday, June 24, 1pm!

    I'll be in Santa Fe, NM on the 24th, but I'll be thinking about you guys (and gals). June and July are pretty busy for me, but I'll keep checking. Possibly drive down to a west side meet if I'm in the area for the next one. Take care, and enjoy. RodeoGeorge

    Followup on V8, after two week use. As I mentioned before, and substantiated by LordDavon, the V8 is a powerhouse. Far more vapor and taste when a device is on the V8 than when that same device is on another power source. Also, as I've mentioned before, I've fried several coils with the V8...

    Eric, What is the prognosis on resupply of items such as the Revive V2 innards? I was going to place an order, but many of the items I wanted are not in stock, and I don't want to piece-meal orders. RodeoGeorge

    Thanks LD. You have confirmed what I was expecting to find when scope gets here. Ordered a week ago from Seeed Studio and still has not shipped. I need to bug them. I've already downloaded the firmware you recommend, and I'm ready to install it when it arrives. It will be interesting to...

    It sure does. Just start out with a low voltage, move up slowly, and stop when you're comfortable with the vapor. I'm running mine on 3.0 Volts on devices that I run at 4.0 Volts on my Provari. RodeoGeorge

    I received my V8 today, and it is a powerhouse. I've been using a CE4+ and an E1 Revive V2 on the provari at 4.0 Volts. Set the V8 on 4.0 Volts and promptly blew the coils on those two. I'm thinking that the V8 is putting out more than what is indicated. Dropped it down to 3.0 Volts, put a...

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    I just finished my first bottle (fill) with my second favorite juice. Cleaned everything up, cleaned the Silo Cartomizer, and installed the AMG Hybrid to use while the Silo dries. I'm definitely loving the AMG Hybrid a LOT better than the Silo on this device. There is a much better draw (the...
