Another Chuck Review

[donnellyk]

I, too, pestered Jeff with e-mails that went unanswered...I then learned he is not a large vendor that I'm used to questioning, he makes these in his "spare" time!

We just get so excited to get these things after reading all the great ECF reviews...I can't imagine his frustration at all the newbie questions! I made my payment, (hope that he got it), ordered batteries/charger, now have to sit back and wait ...we have to leave him alone so he can make those Chucks!

Relax. If you paid and sent an e-mail, he got your order. We're working him pretty much to death, so if you don't hear anything from him, that means there is not a problem. He'd let you know if there were any issues.

Now go down to the Supplier forum and check out the thread "How to Spend a Saturday", and you can keep tabs on where he is at in the production of the Chucks.

Yep, he's there, he answered a question for me on the thread. It let me know that he had gotten my order. I hadn't received a confirmation either, but by reading through the thread I got the impression that no one did, so don't worry, just wait for your order date to come up.

I'm almost going to do it. But, a few questions.

What are these batteries and chargers costing you?

Anyone know a good site for them?

Proud Chuck owners, soooooooo how long of a turnaround was it from payment to puffing on that bad boy?

About two weeks for each of my Chucks. Well worth the wait; I put in an order for a customized Chuck without expecting too much, and he turned it out better than I hoped. Bottom line, it's affordable, durable, personalized, and works really well. Sweat out the wait time, it's worth it

And no, I'm not a super Chuck fanboy, as I'll be buying other mods hopefully soon - but I firmly believe it stands right up there in the upper echelon of battery mods.

I ordered my chuck on the 17th; it'll be born today. Been pretty busy for Jeff lately, and I can see why- he's pretty much cleared his backlog and usually runs about 2 weeks from order to reality.

I bought 6 batts (huge 18650's) protected top shelf and the most recommended, versatile charger from dealextreme.com- woulda been cheaper if I had gone for cheaper batts or charger, and it was about 50 or so bux shipped. (batts were like 2 for 10 bux, they do have batts 2 for 7 bux- charger was about 12.50 so 3-2pak batts were 30 _ charger 12.5= 42.5 and instead of the 2-3 week free ship i ponied up for the 6 day EMS shipping.

Cheeeeeep compared to those damb 510 batteries at 180 maH that set you back 20 each and last like an hour of solid vapin. Gimme a 2600-3000 maH batt every time ;-)

 

[hecknaw]

ok, all you chuckers, i feel somewhat a little more at ease now knowing that this is the norm.thank you all so much for words

 

[WhatAClumsyGirl]

Thanks for the review ! I ordered my Lil Chuck today....and i also ordered the Copper....expecting huge clouds from both !

Love reading all the reviews...they really helped me with my decisions on buying the two that i bought.

Check here for the 18650 batteries.
Ultrafire 18650 3000mah BUTTON TOP Protected Rechargeable Lithium Battery Li-Ion UF18650-BRC

Pretty good deal, I think.

I ordered my Little Chuck on October 15; it shipped yesterday - got an email from Amazon with tracking info about 5 pm, and the tracking info says it cleared the Chicago sorting center around 10:00 pm - no further word from USPS, but I expect to find it waiting for me tomorrow after work.

I ordered 2 of the 18650 batteries and a charger for around $26 + $5 for shipping from Battery Junction in Connecticut - I got it in about 5 days (it sat around in a sorting center in New Jersey for a couple of extra days, but that's a quick delivery compared to waiting 2 weeks and a couple of days for the Chuck (even though I already HAVE a Chuck! Right now I can actually imagine vaping two-handedly IF I COULD HAVE MY NEW ONE RIGHT THIS VERY INSTANT!!! <g>)

When I first started getting intrigued by mods a couple of months ago, I looked at some suppliers and it seemed that the wait times for one were a month or more. Then I saw the Chuck, fell in love with the idea of having a good mod that was customized especially for me, saw he was quoting two weeks from order to shipping, and saw that other people were getting them that quickly, it took me a few weeks to come up with what I wanted on my Little Chuck. I emailed Jeff a few pictures - too many, really - that I wanted, gave him some ideas of what I wanted as a base color, and told him to design away. Sunday I saw a photo of my Little Chuck, and it's gorgeous. A different layout and a different background color than I imagined, but much better than I could have imagined.

So I'm sure you will love your Chuck or Little Chuck, even if you're only ordering it for the excellent vaping machine that so many people have reviewed and raved about.

Is there a solid copper one? Like the whole body or something. I don't know his line that well.

And, for everyone replying to my Battery question earlier, THANKS A BUNCH! You all rock!

 

[JeannieB360]

The body on the Chucks is all copper; the end caps are brass.

Great review. The Chuck thread is a complete mess with thread clutter and it's impossible to get this kind of information there.

For 6 volt vaping here a great set that I purchased for my Silver Bullet and will use in my Chuck. One set last all day, Rechargeable Batteries & Battery Chargers - 6 RCR123A 3.0V 750mAh LiFePO4 Rechargeable Batteries with a Smart Charger -Specials

I have to say I am so taken by my chuck....I have a silver bullet, a bulli extreme, a gg and the chuck and the chuck works the best with the 901.....good vapor and no burned taste....the bullet works good with the 510 but I still prefer my chuck with the 901. Thinking about ordering one for the 510 but I don't think I will be any happier than I am with my chuck and the 901.

Well I , in my ineptitude, dropped Chuck with the atty hittin first and then a tumble...I looked down and saw my atty hanging on with the wire to the batteries..I freaked...then I used some lock tite and pressed it back into the end cap, but now my atty is on at an angle, about 5 degrees off perpendicular...is there a better way to attach the atty to the end piece...everything works, but I didn't want to disect Chuck, cause it is all I have at the monent and I couldn't go very long with out it ...has this happened to anyone else...I guess I need to order another chuck, just for a backup and use this one to practice maintence...

So the connector on the head cap on the Chuck came out of the head cap? I have no clue how you did that since the entire connector is soldered to the headcap. Or did the connector on your atty come out of the atty tube?

 

[highping]

Larry...You should really post this over on the 'saturday' thread. I bet Jeff will help you out. He's a great guy, and some of the things he has covered on his warranty are just amazing.

 

[justrubl]

I did go ahead an order a chuck and a little chuck with the 510. I know I will be just as happy with it as I am with the 901. I am pretty sure that once I get them everything else I have will be going up for sale. I can't imagine using anything else.
