Batteries Vs Pass-thru?

[lilly1185]

I've been vaping the PT for the last few days, barely touched my battery. My question is;

Has the vapor always been a little lack luster or have I perhaps burnt out my battery life by vaping it constantly? It did take some 8 hours to charge, but I don't know if the battery starts to drain like the Volcano/Blu if you leave it in too long.

Also, if the regular battery is simply just weaker than PT (I can understand why being usb powered), is the xl battery stronger than a regular? Thanks for answering my questions.

I have an XL batt and I love it, and yes, it is more powerful than the normal sized ones, and close in power to the PT, in my opinion.

Now I just need one of the new 10 second cutoff ones...

Dont know if this helps and Im not for sure which battery you have but my autos (5 sec cutoff) have always been weaker then my usb passthru. Now my newest manual (10sec cut off) I find myself using that more they my passthru now. Its just a pure vaping machine.

The USB Passthru has always been a much more potent performer. I use a 12VDC Car Lighter USB Adapter (from V4L) and a USB Passthru in my car and I am a happy guy!

I agree with shall - love the 10 sec batt!

I can't believe I neglected to mention that I do have a manual. I'm not sure on the cut off because I never hit it,
I just wanted to make sure I didn't break it. I am practicing refilling carts and have leaked a little, not in the battery to my knowledge, though.

Hopefully a job will find it's way to me soon and I can invest in a car pass through. Anyone have any suggestions on a wall plug for the pass thru?

The xl is stronger than the regular and just slightly weaker than the passthru.

 

[lilly1185]

Heehee I guess I'll have to order an xl and hand the old battery off to my friend. I've made him hit off it a few times and while he tries very hard *not* to, he coughs everytime.

I'm no expert, but from my understanding, the XL batt actually puts out the same voltage as any other battery. The big difference is the length of time the battery produces that voltage. It's longer, so it stores more energy than a shorter one (obvious, I know). As it's discharging (powering the carto) it loses the stored energy slower than the short batt's, thereby producing better. Just my 2 cents!

I dont know the tech specs but jumbo manual is a consistent performer with more vapor than the regular auto. Passthrough will win no matter what because it doesnt depend on a battery and is getting power directly from an outlet. Not sure about the performance of auto vs manual pass but I like the manual better. I used to be a doubter lilly buut definitely give it a try you should not be dissapointed.

this wall charger for the USB PT works great. i've ordered from them, under $4 after shipping (i'm in CA).

hope that helps.

If you were using your manual or the PT, no need to worry about any refilling leakage--they're both sealed batts. The auto's are open ended, so for those you have to be a little more careful...

That makes me a little more easy for this next observation;
I was analysing my manual battery today, and noticed some black around the edge where the carto screws on. I tried to pick it out with a toothpick but it was too big.

I'm thinking it may just be burnt up liquid (from attempts to refill, and failing). I'm thinking. I'm hoping. Advice? I'm a little wigged that it might be leaking, but I've not read of this happening to anyone yet.

Edit; Oh, and flying low, thanks for that. Bookmarked for the future

 

[lilly1185]

Nobody knows? Aww

 

[Dawnfox]

Yep, it's most likely liquid. You can clean it off with alcohol on a cotton ball or a q-tip.

 

[keyzygirl]

Theres a battery cleaning video around here somewhere.

 

[Panda04]

It is juice that builds up on the battery. It can fill up the holes making the draw much harder also.

Thanks so much Panda! I was a bit frustrated that one of my batteries seemed to not work as nice as the other, yet having to use it half the day
Probably is a build up issue since I top off sometimes in battery end on refills. I'm going to clean 'er up today.

 

[lilly1185]

lol thanks guys. I was thinking that's all it was, then found the video, but couldn't be sure.

A small piece of advice, I wouldn't recommend using Bourbon to clean it. I was out of Isopropyl, and recalled some people using vodka for cleaning. What I FORGOT was bourbon has a bit of a smell. And water won't get it off. So it's off to the store with me later today :3 Hopefully that'll take care of the issue.

The only reason I worried so much was there were some issues with Blu pack chargers exploding, and thought I'd check in. Seems so far, vapor king is a totally stellar product with little to NO problems.

I am amazed day after day.

Our new batteries, ALL rock, and have MUCH longer cutoff's. So far we have Black, Pink, New Emerald Green standard length with 10-13 second cutoff's, as well as shorties, in White, Blue, Yellow, with 7-8 second cutoffs. We will not stop till we are as close to perfection, as possible.

Our new XL's will be made MOnday, with 10-13 second cutoffs, and will be made BOTH Manual, and AUTO

We also have all colors on the way on our newest auto passthru's with NO cutoffs
