    XTAR VC2S and Possibly Overcharged Battery

    Hi Folks! :) I have a XTAR VC2s that I just received and I looks like it has Overcharged one of my Samsung INR18650 25Rs and possibly Undercharged the other. The Batteries are a Year old. The VC2S detects the Charging rate so I can't choose the Charging Rate - I normally charge at 500 mAh but...

    Anybody Here Trying to Learn a New Language?

    I'm trying to learn Russian with Duolingo. Initially, I got a book from Amazon (no DVDs included) and managed to learn the Letters and how they sound. I have a feeling though, that I may have chosen a Level on Duolingo that was a bit higher than I should have, lol, so I am thinking about...

    Charging a 18650 < 2000mAh

    I know this is a totally pedestrian question...but I need some verification. In a nutshell as we know, AW IMRs are not being manufactured at this time because of some flooding over yonder. My Batts that I have had for a while now are dying so I bought some new ones (the only ones that I could...

    Looks like Next Payday is Going to be A Provari One

    I ordered a mod from FT and got it and it works great but the connection is well...strange. I don't feel good about using it (Luckily it wasn't spendy). Eventually I may fix it..who knows. What I do know is that I am tired of quality control problems-misfiring buttons mainly. I have worn out a...

    Regarding the Smoktech Fuse

    I was using my fuse in my K100 with my ST kick I noticed that the fire button was getting a little warm and after a couple more vapes the mod stopped working. I thought that was odd because I was vaping at 8.0 w with a 2.0 ohm carto like I always do. I was using an 18500 Efest batt. I took it...

    ZMax in Colours from Madvapes...Anyone Have One?

    I really like these....has any one bought one yet? It comes in both an 18350 and an 18650 size. I know its a garden variety Zmax but am curious about the build quality of it. i would like to get this in a mini.....would the extension ring make it long enough to maybe fit an 18500? I am not sure...

    Well So Much for That, lol

    I love my K100 ^_^ I think though, that I should probably get a kick because apparently I don't have the sense to STOP vaping and I have vaped one of my 18350s down to 2.8v. A kick should cutoff at 3.4v much like a Vamo or other VV device...correct? I can't believe I did that, lol Everything...

    Sig Kick or Just A Plain Fuse?

    After much indecision (lol) I decided on two mechs from FT.. a K100 and a TVS. I wanted to know what people's experience with the Sig Kick is...is it good? Is it crap? Sigelei Kick Clone I will, of course be using IMR batts with both. I also was thinking of getting just a Smoktech fuse Smoktech...

    Mod Spring Question

    Hi :) I was thinking of getting this mod (mech) https://www.fasttech.com/product/1410801 This would be my first mech and I have looked at them but this one seems a little different in the fact that the spring is in the atomizer portion of the mod and not in the portion of the mod where the...

    Subforum for Chargers

    I was wondering if there would be any way that a subforum for discussions on Chargers could be created. I had a question about the behavior of a charger I was using but wasn't quite sure where to put it. Thanks ! :)

    My Charger Is Acting Funny

    I have a NiteCore IntelliCharger I2. Lately I have been having some funny stuff going on with one of my bays (two bays in this model). Both bays have 3 indicator lights that blink...as the batt fills up one lights blinks and goes solid, then two lights, then the third when it is done. One of the...

    The K-Max

    Its a Max in colours! I guess these are from the folks who make the Vamo. Kinda retro with the display but I LOVE the green, provided that it is really the colour shown and not some lime coloured - thing. Telescopic, too! http://.........blogspot.com/2013/06/rollout-ksd-vw-telescopic-k-max.html

    The Provape - 1

    I was looking to get a Provari..I want a red mini but can't get that till August (hopefully they will still have them by then, it being a Limited Edition and all.) I would like to get one that I can afford right away and was checking out the Provape1. I know it is a 3.7v device and its nice that...

    Multimeter Confusion in Paradise

    I have recently started doing atomizer rebuilds. So far I have rebuilt the coil on my Vivi Nova. The first one was terrible..it had a short and the resistance was too low. not to be easily sullied, I built a second coil; this one was much better. it came out at 2.6 ohms. This is the issue: I got...

    Stainless Steel Mesh Wick Question

    I am considering an RBA (an RSST) and would like to experiment with stainless steel wick. I know this question sounds a bit pedestrian but I am a total newb. Do I HAVE to use a torch when oxidizing the mesh? I don't have a gas range that puts out flame (I use electric) and I don't own a torch...
