Are you done stocking up?

[BillW50]

This is one reason I love my xtar VP2 chargers; they came with 12V "cigarette lighter" adapters, so the ability to charge batteries is never further away than my car.

Haktuspit still had to go to Starbucks to access WiFi, so the point is moot at best.

Btw, those xtar VC2 and VC4 just needs an USB. Either wall, computer, power bank, solar, automobile, etc. But even these won't give Haktuspit WiFi.

I was using my XTAR VC4S to drain a couple of dozen cells down to storage charge. But a day later, I too had a power outage. Now I could have used all of those cells I just drained. Live and learn. Luckily my power was only out for 8 hours.

Worst case, I just use the hotspot on my phone, which I can also charge from my car.

I don't even have to do that. My DSL modem is powered by an UPS device for the Internet. My many laptops always have full charged batteries. And dozens of half charged cells work just fine in 18650 power banks to charge anything else you like.

How many Serpents does that make now? I recognize the Profile. Is that the one that uses mesh?

Original Serpents... twelve...

Yes, but you can use regular coils as well, comes with one framed staple clapton and two mesh strips with bendy tool

Haha, this was only my third visit to this store but the guy there remembered me and said that they found more Serpents if I was interested.

I was like, "Ah okay, maybe, we'll see."
Translation: "Gimme, gimme, gimme!!"

If you like them then you may as grab them while you can.

That's pretty much how I was thinking, though I didn't grab the last two there.

Could just be my brain seeding an excuse to go back later.

You're probably right. That way you can go back next week for more.

I just recently started building and was figuring that tanks would be more of what I'd use but should pick up a few drippers for testing mixes.
But since this store is getting rid of their rebuildable stock for $5 each, I now have more RDAs than I thought I would!
Their clearance has been going on for a while so I'm guessing I missed out on a lot of what they had.
Pretty much picking up things that I've heard of plus the odd one here and there that seemed to me worth trying.
My first Serpent RTA was bought somewhere else and I really like it since trying it out, so that is why I went a little crazy stocking up on those after seeing them on clearance.

If you and other folks have some of these in your stash then I guess my picks were a little on the lucky side!

 

[gloopdegurp]

Haha, was just thinking that many shops in my area charge more for drip tips than I paid for these RDAs.
If I go back there again I should buy up a bunch of the ones with nicer tips!
Also get some extra o-rings, pins, screws, and possibly coils with some of them.

lol! A touch of the Stashers and of the Shinys! That’s a perfect description of me with vaping!

Although I just bought these at almost half price they won’t be going in my stash ! I’m looking forward to building and trying them out!

I just purchased two solar chargers. Something tells me that vaping uses power faster than a solar charger can recharge a battery. We'll see.

Technical Specs

Each Patriot Power Cell has the following specs:*

• Battery Capacity (mAh): 8,000mAh
• Battery Type: Lithium-Polymer
• Battery Life Cycles: Approx. 500 (5 to 6 years of average use)
• Input: DC5V / 1.6A
• Output: DC5V / 1A and DC5V / 2.1A
• Product Weight: 6.81 ounces
• Package Weight: 9.6 ounces
• Product Size: 5.4” x 2.9” x .74”

I think this very much depends on size/output of the solar panel feeding it, and also how much power you use to vape. A typical 18650 cell holds about 10 Wh of power. How many 18650s do you need per day? How many days per week do you have good sun? If I was purely dependent on solar power for charging my vape batteries, I think I would want about 25 watts of panel for each 18650 that I used per day. Factoring in losses, that would make me confident that I one hour of good sun per day would keep me vaping.

I would suppose it's this:
Patriot Power Cell®

Unless I've missed something, there's no spec on the solar cell(s) that are part of the device, so no way to know much "off grid" capability it really has.
