Are YOU a Tootle Puffer??

[YoursTruli]

Those bags were designed to have the charger itself outside the bag and the Li-po pack inside it.

As long as the chargers air vents can "breathe" and it is charging at a low rate (0.25mA) it could work. As yours has.

For someone wanting to push two bays at 1A each I suspect the charger would not last long in a sealed bag.

With LIPO cells only the battery is inside the bag, the charger is outside the bag. With our regular batteries we put both the battery & the charger inside, and that generates a lot of heat which can be a problem.
I set my charge box on top of a laptop cooling pad.

OK so now I am curious. I know with all of the lipo guard bags I have (purchased 4 years ago) there are 2 inch openings at the fold on either side and even with 4 18650 batteries or a mix of 18650, 18350 and 14500 batteries charging at the same time on my nitecore intellicharger i4 charger I have never felt the charger or batteries even get a little warm while charging? I also use the bags when I charge my isticks, coolfire, MVP2s, ego one, egos batteries and none have ever gotten warm while charging? Is is the norm for batteries and/or chargers to get warm or hot while charging? The only time I had any type of issue was with the (proprietary)wall wart charger I bought with my coolfire that got super hot while charging and after the vendor replaced it no more issues.

Let's talk about juices for a minute. When I started out DIY I was tending to lean towards more PG than VG and my recipes worked fine. Now it is more likely for me to make 50/50 juices and I'm finding my recipes a little too sweet. I suppose VG is naturally sweet - what do you all think?

Maybe, I never noticed VG being very sweet, but then I like things sweet. Some flavorings like the Cap VC V1 is fairly sweet, so is their Cinnamon Danish Swirl.
I have vaped straight VG.

VG is sweet but PG is sweeter.

Opps, I got that the wrong way around, sorry.

You know what, I am getting mixed views on this, I am going to taste both and see for myself.

VG does have a naturally sweet taste to it. I found I have problems with higher VG content though so I usually make a 75PG 25VG blend.

When i was playing with the pg/vg ratio and vaping unflavored, I noticed that vg tasted sweeter to me.

 

[Rixsta]

Your all right, that was a bit of a weird experience, PG doesn't taste very nice at all but VG tasted quite good and is def sweeter, I won't be doing that again anytime soon though.

The things I do for you hey

What ratio do most of you vape please ? I'm just wondering if tootlers use a higher PG or is that a myth..pretty new to the tootling world

Great! So how does one do that? I mean taste and see?

 

[Robert Cromwell]

drip it straight is the easiest way. i used to vape some unflavored 30/70 PG/VG. Just to get nic.

I stuck my finger in the PG bottle and tasted it and the same with the VG bottle, like I said, I won't be doing it again..

I didn't have time for dripping, dipping is much more quicker. Some say PG is tasteless, it most certain is not tasteless lol

Which is why every vaper using that stuff should have a Class D fire extinguisher in their home !

I had my friend who is fire chief here come over and give me some "pointers" on my property and home.

This is not the same Class A fire extinguisher you already (hopefully) have that puts out general fires.....this one is for metal fires.

If you use a Class A, or god forbid, water, to try to put out a venting battery, chances are you're going to create a disaster.

They are cheap.........get one.


Tootle puffer stuff can go out, too. Had a knock off ego clone that did. Also a bad charger that blackened my outlet/wall and cost me $200 in electrician bills. Now I use a charging strip, and flip the button (my hand was ON the charger when I plugged it into the wall and it went kaboom.....boy that was dumb of me).

Out of millions of things produced, there is bound to be an item once in a while where the wiring is just not assembled properly. That is with everything, not just ecigs. My elecctrician determined it was the wall charger......he opened it up.

This is exactly why I don't feel comfortable using my ARO Winder any longer; it's by smoktech, who make pretty decent stuff, but it uses an eGo charger rather than micro-USB.... The vast majority of e-cig accidents I've heard about have been attributable to those 80-cent chargers. They're just cheap junk, apparently every last one of them, so a quality e-cig becomes just as dangerous as those ego knockoffs... because of that cheap charger.

I go with 50/50 now, or close to it.

Thank you for you kind efforts (even if you have your senses mixed up . Joking apart, When I started it was more like 60 to 65 PG but in the last couple of months at least, or even longer than that, it has been fairly constantly 50/50.

OHH YUCK! Straight PG is bad enough vaping but tasting????

 

[Woofer]

One of the biggest cause of house fires are Toaster Ovens and Crock Pots.

That would be two of the biggest causes. (my maths is strong.
A fireman I know says driers are the biggest cause of house fires, I dunno I blame excessive heat.

 

[Rixsta]

50/50 is what I have mixed ready for my new tank, that's another great thing about DIY I guess.

 

[Papillon61]

It's not all that bad... it is a little bitter though yes. What I have noticed about PG is that when you get it on your skin it feels warm... I mean your skin gets warm after a few seconds. Might be a good idea in winter.

Yeah just a finger dab, for a second I thought I had got the nic bottle by mistake but no it was PG, I can still taste it haha

Very true, that warmth in my mouth was the reason I thought it was the nic bottle, coupled with the bitter, monkey .... flavor, your absolutely right. Not that bad, it was bad enough..

Oh dear, I hope KD doesn't read this, I have left myself wide open for all sorts of quotes and comments.. How did this happen
