I have an IPro, and love it, and have been wanting to get another(blue). I like the size, except for the length, and only use it around the house. Sooo, have been considering the Buzz. Shorter, a little larger in dia. and would probably be just fine for me in all around size. I gotta say, that I think the new safer Buzz, with the slots looks pretty cool, sorry they had to go thru all that, but I like it for looks.
As far as the batts for these go, being 3.7v can these be charged on a Pila,(with spacers) as this is the only charger I use anymore. The Powerizers are Li-Ion correct, just unprotected?
Thanks for your input and info.

Yes, the pila is fine. I don't know what switches it has, but if they have them they should be set for 3.7V batteries (4.2V max charger voltage), and maximum charger output current < 650 mA. Spacers, as you noted, are likely needed.

(The xtar wp2 ii is another charger with very nice charge characteristics, much more affordable than a pila. I've been quite happy with the tr001, but decided to give the xtar a whirl. Like a pila, you need to the extra spacers option for it to hold a 16340 battery pair: they only cost $1.)

Thanks markfm, for spacers I use rare earth magnets for my different size batts. I figured as long as the Powerizers are li-ion and 3.7v, it should be fine, but need to be sure as I'm not all that knowlegible on this stuff.

Yeh, I'm thinking I'll love the Buzz also. I use a diy tank on the IPro. Might even go with one of the M1A1 tanks with matching blue end caps for the Buzz.

oplholik,

I believe you will LOVE the Buzz Pro! I love mine, the size is perfect for standing on end, and the added width is nice too. I also prefer the look of tanks on the BP as well. Go for it!!!

I'm gonna wait till the new Buzz's are out to decide which I want. Like I said, I'm thinking I like the looks of the slots in the "safer" Buzz. But anyway the wife and I are taking a train trip to Texas in May, so no major e-cig purchases till after we get back from there about the middle of May. It's gonna be a hard wait, but gotta do it.
