    You didn't set your multimeter to current did you?

    My husband's eGo exploded!

    I have to wonder if those VVs are the source of this issue. Were they failing in such a matter that compromised the eGo charger somehow? Since its out in the open, notice on the vendor website how it states that it recommends the 450mah charger "that came bundled" as the 420mah charger "can't...

    It sounds like they are handling it the right way so far, very good to hear.

    My husband's eGo exploded!

    I am pretty sure this involves putting a meter to it. Most DC power supplies (like for your wireless router, cordless phone, etc) actually displays a standard symbol to indicate the polarity, perhaps this is something these charger manufacturers should adopt.

    I wouldn't call it hot pink... maybe few shades lower :)

    My husband's eGo exploded!

    I saw Rolygates post about using a cookie tin, so I McGuyvered myself a charging container last night. I fashioned a hole large enough to drop an eGo battery attached to a charger into the container (I folded the edges so it would not scrape wires) and then drilled several vent holes in to the...

    LOL, that reminds me of stores that sell things "that are to be used for tobacco only"

    My husband's eGo exploded!

    Yeah, the whole 900mah product page going to the USB passthru page must be just webadmin error.

    My husband's eGo exploded!

    I have a question about that 450mah charger for the larger sized eGo batteries. On the Joyetech website I only see the 4.2v@420ma model, am I missing something?

    My husband's eGo exploded!

    Interesting data point. I just checked Joye's website because I could have sworn they made a 900mah but here is what I see: eGo - 900mah model available (note: eGo not Ego-T) eGo-T - 900mah listed on products but when you click on it, the info is for the 900mah USB passthrough. If you click...

    Failed eGo hardware registry?

    I agree 100% with what you say regarding checking your equipment and stop using equipment that is acting "funky", no argument there. However, I believe the notion of "use only the charger that was supplied with your kit" may be a little unreasonable since I think its a common thing to pick up a...

    My husband's eGo exploded!

    Looks just like mine with 2 exceptions, where that one says "USB Charger" mine says "eGo USB Charger" and the screws on that one appear to be a decent bit larger than the ones on mine. I am not saying thats right or wrong, just an observation. EDIT: Just saw your reply, the text and symbols...

    Failed eGo hardware registry?

    Would it be out of line to keep a running list of all the eGo batteries and chargers that have been reported as failing in one way or another? I know the information in such a list would only be as good as the ones providing information, but with all the recent threads about exploding eGos and...

    My husband's eGo exploded!

    Is there anyway you can provide pictures of these chargers? Preferably the sticker part too if it is not charred beyond recognition.

    Love my Stardust but....cracks-

    Correct. Decomissioned means that it goes in my jar-o-parts.

    vision ego stardust?

    My opinion is that the CE4+/stardusts have a few more rounds of evolution to go through before they are truly ready to replace my CE2s. The CE2s went through the same type of deal and I expect the CE4+s to travel the exact same path. I only ordered two of the latest batch, I was initially...

    "clearomizer" round up for 808s...

    I don't even attempt that anymore because of that fact.

    vision ego stardust?

    I had a so-so experience with the 2nd batch of these that shipped. I was originally going to order more, but at the moment I am going to wait and watch. I feel these units are a great design, they just need a slight bit more perfection before I trade in my CE2s for one.

    Love my Stardust but....cracks-

    A week in on mine and my cracks are getting more severe. One has not developed that you can feel on the outside and it looks like it goes all the way through. The hairline fractures are multiplying as well. I have just drained it and I think I am taking it out of commission at this point...

    Ego-T battery exploded

    I was scrolling down to post this as well. I have never seen an ego charger like that and mine is also 4.2v@420mA.
