510 battery charger

[captainbrianbeard]

ive heard the 510 batteries wont change on my blu pcc because the polarity is different. but how come the attys and cartos work? will they charge on my blu usb charger? i want to get a mega batt to use and use my blus for backups but i'll need a way to charge it. if i buy a mega batt and a charger i miight as well spend a little more and get a 510 kit :/

The batteries won't charge when polarity is reversed because you are trying to put (+) voltage into the (-) side and (-) into the (+) side. The atty's and cartos don't care because they mix the (+) and (-) to create heat so it doesn't matter which way it comes from as long as it gets there. I'd probably just buy the 510 kit. Once you buy a charger and battery you're looking at around $20. You can get a complete kit for $35 or so with 2 batt's, 2 atty's, charger, and cart's. The 510 is somewhat of a standard too so you can get replacement parts from numerous suppliers at very reasonable rates. But, that's my opinion.

yea thats what ive been thinking. im trying to shop around and find a cheap kit. i like having a PCC so im debating on getting a PCC kit with one ecig and use my blu batts as back ups

Very common situation to have. Are you against a larger battery mod at this point? If you are going to throw down the cash you might as well get an eGo or variant if you can handle the difference in size.

Yep....possible mod time...Love my eGo !!!

i would like to keep it as cigarette like as possible. im not going to cave and start smoking analogs again i just like the appearance and feel of an analog. i ordered a dual pcc kit that comes with a pass through last night 8] that should do it. i had to dig deep for the change but it comes with everything even a 30ml bottle of juice!

Ego or go for the 510 mega batteries....Either way,,,,you would save a lot of hard-ache and time re-charging...It looks like you are thinking of "moving-up"....Good Luck..and of course....Enjoy the Adventure...

So let me get this straight....you can't charge the 510 batteries in the Blu charges due to the polarity of the connections being reversed right? I have spare blu usb chargers and I was wondering if I could open one of them and reverse the polarity, would it then charge the 510 battery? Has anyone tried this before? Thanks for any info.

I've been vaping now for only a few months. I started out with Blu as it seemed to be the best kit out there at the time. In retrospect I would have paid a few dollars more and gotten a better kit but whatcha gonna do?

I don't see why you couldn't just switch the wires to the battery connector so you could use your Blu charger to charge 510 batt's. But 510 chargers are only around $5 new.

I've always been like this....I usually try to work outside the envelope, usually fail, and end up buying one anyways but I do get a certain satisfaction when sometimes things come together and works. =)
