Battery life on the Buzz Pro

[my4jewels]

First of all, I love everything about my Buzz Pro Veneer. It looks great, feels really good in my hand, and vapes beautifully. I wish I could get more life out of my batteries, though. I timed it this morning, and I got about 5 1/2 hours out of my new fully charged batteries before it shut down. I went through less than 3ml of juice at around 4-4-5V in a 3.0 Boge carto in a liquinator. I wasn't constantly chain vaping. I find that I go through a lot more juice with VV.

Just curious, how long do your batteries last in your Buzz Pro?

Jewel the stock batts ( silver UF 880mah ) get about 5-8 hours per charge , I just finished some tests on a BUNCH of batts and the Powerizers I have on my site double my charge life , they are more $$ but last longer . I will post the results of the tests soon .

If you have the grey Ultrafire charger (WF-138) check the switch on the side to see that it's set for 3.7v charge as well.

I can't wait. I gotta get some of them batteries. I am very frustrated today. Do you mind if I vent a bit? It doesn't matter, I'm going to...

I can only ose my Buzz Pro when Hubby is at work 'cuz I don't want to show it to him because I got him one for Christmas. Two out of three of my liquinator tanks cracked in lessthan 24 hours, only got them yesterday. They cracked from my DIY Banana Cream juice, no sour notes, no spicy notes, don't know what happened there... I'm afraid to use the 3rd tank. They're gonna replace them and take good care of me, but I wanna use them NOW, they were sooo good while they lasted.

I had finally found my perfect vaping combination with VV and a liquinator, but it's was snatched away.

I wish someone could design a Pyrex glass tank!, maybe you!! Is that even possible? I'd love, love, love to try something like that. I'd pay whatever I needed to do to get some made.

There's a million other things going on in my life right now that I can't keep up, and I just feel paralyzed. I just wanna be happy with my vaping in my own little vaping world to get me through.

Thanks for listening. Sorry, but you were just here when I had to let it out.

 

[my4jewels]

Thanks, but I have the Trustfire-001. They are charging properly. I check them with my multi meter after charging.

You will get incredible times with the new batteries. I was vaping about 3ml a day and getting a full day out of the old batteries (maybe the ones you got were a dudd, I had one set giving me about 4 - 6 hours, the rest a full day) I am going on day 3 with the news ones and have not had to charge them since forst charge.

As for the hubby and the christmas present, does he read the forums or visit notcigs. If not just tell him they were a special edition and you got the last one. Then he will not suspect his chrstmas present. If it were me however, I wouldn't be able to wait and we would be celebrting christmas in august!

Sorry about your tanks. I think I saw somewhere today that mike said no pyrex. I got a liquinator a while back that came from a bad batch and were to loose. They exchanged it for me and the one that came corrected the problem and is almost to tight. Hopefully yours was a bad batch of plastic and when the new ones come will be just fine. Might as well try that 3rd one, at least if it cracks to you will still be in a good time line to get it replaced. If it is going to crack, might as well get it over with!

 

[my4jewels]

Well, I have 6 sets of those UF batts, figured 3 sets for each of us, and I've been a battery charging maniac with that hurricane coming. We'll probably lose power, and I MUST have charged batteries. Analogs are no longer a choice.

My liquinators are just the perfect snugness. Is it even possible to get a bad batch of polycarbonate?

No pyrex, I'll have to see where I can find that, I wonder why. That would solve all of these cracking problems. I wish I knew a really good glass blower. I'd have some made. I don't know what flavor to put in the last one. I have some DIY grape made only with TPA grape flavor. I'm not using my banana again.

From the mouths of Buzz

You could use Pyrex But I am NOT going there sorry , specialized product .

I know pyrex wouldn't work for me. I drop my buzz now and again and the husband seems to drop it at least once a day (maybe more) don't know why he drops it so often. He is usually very coridinated. He is an amatuer marksmen for both guns and bows and coridination is needed for such a hobby. If we had pyrex tanks they would only last until the first drop.

I don't know if you can get a bad batch of polycarbonate, hopefully someone more knowledgable wil chime in. But something has to be going on with those tanks, so it could be possible. I have 3 liquinators, they have been dropped tons of times, no cracks. The hubby tripped over the puppy going to the garage and while trying to get his balance he pretty much threw his buzz with liquinator tank across the garage. It landed hard enough to destroy the cartomizer, but both the buzz and liquinator were fine, so I'm going with bad batch of polycarbonate until someone says it is not possible.

Try the 3rd one, it isn't doing you any good if you are not using it. If it is going to crack it is going to crack. But there is hope that it won't and then at least you can use that until the others arive.

Just had a thought... did you remove the caps (top, bottom or both) and replace them without greasing the tank? If so I read that will crack the tanks. If the caps are removed, you must us PG or Juice to grease the edges and slip them back in or they can crack!

 

[my4jewels]

The 1st one I took apart, cleaned it, and put it back together exactly like the video. I did lubricate the ends of the tube generously with pg/vg before putting the caps on. The 2nd one, I didn't even take apart. I just pushed the carto down to fill it, and pushed the carto back into position.

Just a thought... I'm going with bad batch until someone who knows what they are talking about corrects me as I can't see these cracking for no reason considering the abuse they take here.

 

[BuzzKill]

Well I will be on the lookout for a better material , He may have used a molded version vs extruded Poly ?? I here there is a difference in the properties.

 

[5cardstud]

I don't know how thick his is having never seen one but the MAP tank I converted I drilled a filler hole in and no cracks but it is a nice thick tank. Loft even shortened his Map and no cracks. Sorry for your problems.

 

[my4jewels]

I can't wait to try yours. I'm really in a pickle here.

I was at rite aid the other day, and they had a power inverter that you can plug into your car cigarette lighter. It should work fine for a tr-001. am going to get one come payday to put in my camping gear. if i remember right , it has 2x usb ports and 1x outlet.

something like this.

 

[my4jewels]

That looks pretty cool. We do have a couple of ego battery passthroughs if needed, better than nothing.

You can also get something similar at rat shack.

Pyrex is absolutely possible. If done right would be nearly as strong as poly or lexan. The real problem is cost. It would have to be custom made and that would be SUPER expensive. It would have to be lab grade to stand up to the abuse. I doubt were likely to see a production pyrex tank anytime soon from any vendors.

Sorry I am late with this link but this is a car adapter for your TR-001 that is available. I've tested mine this week and it works great - I don't know what it does to the car battery, but priorities come first - gotta have charged batteries for my Buzz in case of an extended outage!

The hubby has a power converter for his truck. He's been using it for years now, at any given time he has ran 1 or 2 nintendos DS's off of it, a computer, a battery charger and a kicker for tunes and his battery is no worse for wear!
