at glance....beginner's mistake

[wolfsblood]

i have been stocking up on lr attys and been trying to keep them separate from my regulars, trying being the key word, anyway of telling the two apart by looking at them...i have already popped a couple of lr when i 6volted them to death

Take a magnifying glass and look at the underside of the threading and see if you can see LR written there. Other than that, I have no idea how you'd tell them apart. Not all apparently have that written there.

Maybe you could put a dab of nail polish or something on them, so you know which are which. Not sure if that would work or not.

Good idea mudder. Mark them up in some way. Could save you a few dollars.

I managed to get my attys mixed up and had to use a volt meter to get them separated.
Unfortunately not all the LR attys are stamped with the ID.

thanks gentlemen...im trying to make it a point to buy stainless lrs and black regulars but im got so many oldies...well you know...some are marked lr....the nail polish thing is a pretty cool idea

We have both standard and LR atties in our house. I'm the one who uses the LR's, so I started buying mine in different colors other than black. Now there's no mistaking what's standard and what isn't.

Funny I see the nail polish trick

I am not much of a girl in real life, and I've had a couple of nail polish bottles for ever...I finally found a good use for them when I started being a vaper. It's great on attys and cartritges, and the only thing I found that will hold to juice spillage for a decent amount of time.

Look at the bottom of the threads....it will have a LR stamped on it in tiny lettering (or at least mine do).

They have paint pens that work good for marking too.
