# 14 Super Slim has arrived, got some pictures

[silverrocks]

Today he came in the mail; absolutly beautiful. I thought it would be a 901 but it's a native 808 connection. I forgot that it is high voltage, used a 2ohm carto, got a great vape for about 1 minute and blew the carto. Put a 510 connector on and am now using 5 ohm cartos.
I love the SS, can't wait to get the right cartos; no need to use an adapter if I can use HV 808 cartos.
A few questions though (an sorry if they are rather naive again). batteries go negative side on button and anothet negative on top making connection with the carto?
My drip tip got very hot, had to switch it to a rubber one, any idea why?
Tried to get as close up as possible to show the top, but my camera isn't that good.
The SS is in great shape, a few scratches and it probably needs a good cleaning.
I would like to send it to somebody who really knows how to make clean it right and buff out the few scratches, do you guys know a good place?
Anyhow, it vapes great a 7 volts, lots of vapor and the batteriy life isn't that bad, thus far I;ve chain vaped since 30 minutes and beside the hot mouth piece, it's al good.
One more thing, I got a Trustfire multi charger and it seems that only one battery lights up red, the rest are supposedly charged, but i doubt it, maybe it;s the charger?

It's getting hot because you are running 7 volts and 5 ohm resistance. I don't know the amps, but you should be producing about 10 watts....That's no small amount.

Since are stacking batteries, it's a good idea to label them in pairs, rotate, and make sure you have a really good charger.

Nice, Silver!

Not familiar with those so can't help you there.

I do know that a trip to Imeo would have it as good as new though.

Congrats!

Don't forget to register it on the wiki too.

# 14 puts you right next to ole Hef for the super slims.

 

[rwechsler]

Wow, beautiful pv. No1 besides for imeo has the chutzpah to make a 7.4v dedicated mod, and I couldn't be happier because of it! I hope you really enjoy it silver, it's gorgeous!

So close

Congrats Silver! It's beautiful

i didnt know imeo made a dedicated 7.4 slim. that would have been awsome.

 

[buGG]

it's a 901/808...they'll both work just fine. keep the batteries in the same direction, neg. end on bottom, and pos. end of top battery toward atty/carto..that will keep the body as the neg. ground. even though it fits, you should consider a dedicated charger for smaller batteries like those 10440s. those batteries, despite any label, are only about 250mAh, which means they should be charged no faster than 250mA/ .25mA, and i believe the trustfire multicharger charger is pushing twice that. consider something like this one instead, or another charger that won't pump more than 250mA per channel into the battery.

Thank you. I might as well order 2 since I wil have to use lots of batteries throughout the day. I couldn't find protected 1440's there, could I use unprotecred ones? And since the threading fits both 901/808 would you by chance know of a vendor selling high voltage cartos so I don't have to use an adapter? Thanks again for your advice.

 

[buGG]

i wouldn't recommend unprotected batteries to you (even the imr variety, as i haven't seen any tests that show those batteries are any more capable and therefore of any different chemistry than a regular unprotected li-ion), but of course the option is there. and sorry, i really don't know of a carto that can wick effectively at 7.4V and not burn the filler, but i haven't used cartos in a long while so there may be something new and improved out now.

There is not much you can do Julia,nothing will look nice unless you can lay hands on a nickel Slim top adaptor that is,and that will surely come with a nickel Slim attached to it

Told ya its a collector item

On the unprotected batteries,I wouldnt go there as those dont like being overdischarged and recharged a lot (10440s are feeble);protected just shut down when down too much in voltage and since they have a very small power capacity,it is why they dont last on a Slim

I'm pretty impressed being able to vape 30 min at 7 volts (never done 7 , think I found my sweet spot). I don't care about the looks, I just care finding a HV carto with a native 808/901. The Slim brass cap would be for a 510 connection! I did get a free adapter from my vapor shop and it doesn't look bad, but the SS seems to draw better without an adapter. Worse case scenario I just have use regular 808 with the dummy battery at 3.7 and no adapter. Yes, the vaping time in annoying but the feel of the SS is fantastic. But probably won't be my all day mod. I'll see once I get the missing stuff

 

[buGG]

closest thing to the old GG adapters imeo used to make. shipping costs may rule it out, but it should help the draw on your 510 cartos a bit and complement your brass accents on the ss quite nicely. stay away from dual and triple coll cartos with those batts...stick with legitimately high resistance single coils...less amperage drain, longer battery life vs. going the low res. route with a single battery the same size. agreed it's a collector's item, but if you like it for regular use that's all that matters. welcome to the club!

 

[silverrocks]

Well, it's hard to admit but I did figure out that it is a collectors item. Darn, right when I thought I found the golden grail (which it is if you are a collector) it is not an all day vapor.
I just wanted something simple, beautiful and easy. But the battery life is just not cutting it for me. I ordered so much stuff for it, half of it has not even arrived yet.
Well, I don't know what to do from here. For now I'm going to put it back in its pouch.

 

[buGG]

put a nice polish on it and put it somewhere special. p&p may be the slim high voltage all day device you're waiting for. nearly identical in length (ss=163mm w/carto and p&p=165mm w/mouthpiece) and only 4 oh so miniature, hardly noticeable, completely negligible mm wider.

 

[martinc]

Yup,P&P,you will loooove the size of it no doubt...as for the look,well...that remains to be seen uh Imeo???

mmmmmm?

 

[sodapopinski]

by the way, dibs if you ever wanna sell it!!!!

You know how submarine ECF works,you must be dibs #393

 

[silverrocks]

Well, I am going to sell it; can't handle 25 min of bliss but constant refilling the carto and battery changes. I was so excited but I obviously need a big battery mod and not a collectores item (yes, I said it, really thought I could pull it off as my daily vape). Feel kind of bad for doing so but it won't serve me at all and somebody will obviously enjoy it. Have a great weekend.
PS: Got my COV package today and didn't even try the adapters or any of the other stuff I bought for the SS. It is pointless after using it with the right stuff last night and this morning (got an adapter for free from my local vaoe store and had HV cartos).
Thankfully I can returnn everything to Bruce or I would have spend about 100 bucks for nothing.

 

[Serpent67]

Trade it straight up for a excellent condition SS GGTS Julia. I think you'll be happy with that PV and someone will be happy to have a nice collectors piece.

Sorry it didn't work out for you. I know it's been a struggle for you to find "the one"

Maybe this way you will?
