Cant't stand 60 watt istick up while charging no problem -pics

[thetrucker]

Hi fellow Vapers,

I bought a eleaf istick 60 watt TC mod and it has the little charging hole on the bottom.

Which means you can't charge the mod unless you lay it down on it's side.

I found fix for this problem. I took my little box that my atomizer came in and made 2 holes in it.

On on the top and another on the bottom. I fed my charge cord thru the bottom and out the top.

Now my 60 watt TC mod sets upright while charging.......

Neatly done. Three rousing cheers for ingenuity.

Thank you---with my genny tank if I lay the mod on it's side while charging then I come back to juice all over the place and mt tank........

this seems to work well......

There's a fella on here with a 3D printer that does small things like that. This might be a worthy project.

I will never understand why so many manufacturers insist upon putting the charging port in the bottom, it's not like there isn't space in most to place them on the side somewhere...

Been wondering why no one is taking advantage of the Cradle Market.
Don't even need the electronics.

Simple Snap together 2 piece module that Locks a<customer supplied> USB cable in place.
Easy enough, with 3-D and Talent(not me) to make a Variety available for today's
market.
This could easily be adapted for Side(slide in) Charging Cradles

I don't own the gear. But if I did-- I actually lean toward a CNC router, but once you have the table you could put a print head on it-- I'd be working on that, and a number of other things

Because it's hidden on the bottom

I personally like mods with the charger on the bottom. Between the 3 mods I own that have them on the sides, I always cut my finger on the opening of the charger (coolfire 4, tesla one, ijust2)

Plus like OP, there are some nice ideas for charging stands, if someone would take time to produce some in mass

There is less stress on the (already too fragile) micro-USB port. Putting it on the side causes a lot of stress if the user is vaping while charging (90^ vs 180^ angles of the cable). I personally prefer a charging port on the bottom

My opinions aside on placement, I've always wondered if some of the bad charging issues on mods with the bottom placement comes from people setting them down in eliquid or something.

odd... I lay mine down on the side all the time and not a single drop comes out ( and its a dual wick/coiled RSST)

I have a single coil RSST and have my little rubber fill plug removed for better wicking........and so if I lay it down.........drip drip drip--hahahahahah

ahhh yupperz, having the plug missing is a sure fire way to make a mess... I forgot to put the plug in and it did make a mess, now I make sure the plug is in
