Charging the batts with my BuzzPro...how long?

[FAAmecanic]

Got my BP today...WOOT!

So I have my batts charging up...and two questions

1) How long do they take (and I assume the light on the charger goes from red to green)

2) I take it this charger doesnt shut off automatically so I will need to charge the batts when I can take them off the charger when done? Looks like I need to invest in a better charger if this is the case as I like to charge batts when Im sleeping so they are ready the next day.


Ohh....the wait.... heh heh

If it's a tr001 charger, somewhere in the 3 - 3.5 hour range to charge.

If you are really eager, it's okay to pull the batteries after a couple hours, start using them while charging a second pair. The lithium batteries don't suffer the memory issues of other technologies.

After the charger goes green, I'll often leave them on another 20 or so minutes, since some chargers turn green slightly early.

I often have batts in over night, just like having my cell phone plugged in. The charger senses full capacity, goes to a trickle mode. Other people do what they want, but unless I have somehow abused the charger I view it as low risk.

Mark is right, no worries leaving them charge IMO. I ALWAYS have batteries in both of my chargers. I rotate six sets of 16340s and 4 sets of 14430s between me and my wife. Thers always a set in the charger.

If your a cautious person just check them every few weeks to make sure they are charging to right around 4.2 volts.

Go pull them odd and start vaping!!! Batteries usually come 50% charged or so.

The 50% may not apply here, as we're dealing with raw batteries as opposed to, say, a kr808 or a riva (a packaged pv). Trying them right off in a bp won't hurt them, just that they may not work until they get some charger time.

Woot Faa! Let us know how you like it! I have the same charger and leave batts on it overnight all the time.

All Correct above FAA !

Now fix my DAMN Heli will ya ???? LOL

@Buzz... lol Funny thing is I work with Helicopters

OMG... I LUV the Buzz!!!! I cant believe the TASTE difference. For example the Malibu juice from Halo...I liked it on my G6 e-cig, but it was hard to inhale (irritated my throat) and burned my sinues. Slap that juice in a Boge 510 carto SR, and around 4.5v .... SMOOOTH!!!! NO irriation, and the VAPOR production...JUST WOW!!!

Now my problem is Im blowing through a carto fill in about 1.5 hrs!!! (damn knew I should have got the M1A1 tank...lol).

In fact for the first time since I started vaping two weeks ago...I had to set my PV aside as I was getting a "drunk" like buzz from the 18mg juice I was using

Im one happy camper now....GREAT PV BuzzKill!!

SAWEET !! My dad worked for Boeing/ MacDonald Douglas / Lockheed for EVER , he specialized in Heli's and Rotors , He worked on all kinds of stuff, Apache mainly , he fixed big problems on the Apache rotor blade due to high speed vibrations that they could not figure out..
He also worked at the Skunk works for Kelly Johnson on the Sr-71

I inherited most of my abilities from him actually , mostly by osmosis LOL! I was DENSE as a kid.

So, why did you get a Buzz Pro???

Because some dude with a Lobster in his avatar and Navy Pilot Wings told me it was a good idea

Wow...sounds like your dad and I run/ran in the the same circles. I have worked for Boeing (F/A 18 E/F program, C17 field services) in St Louis and Charleston SC. Then went the US Navy in Pax River Md on AH-1, UH-1 Helos, then Lockheed on MH60R and now other Helos in Kentucky with LM.

Small world!

FAA, when I got my first Buzz I was vaping 18mg too and had the same over nic'd problem. Dropped to 12mg and have been there for over a year now. The higher voltage packs a bigger punch. Also remember to check your cartos more often for topping off since you'll be going thru a little more juice. The tanks are awesome and I highly recommend them!

Sad to say that the only dealings I have had with the FAA (not really dealings since I was just 5 years old) was when my Dad crashed his Piper and died in 1965. I still have the FAA report packet and pictures from the scene.

"a little more juice"? I literally doubled, from 3 ml/day for 8 months, to 6 ml/day, when I switched to VV

Totally agree on getting the tank -- if you end up doubling consumption like I did, and have an eliquid that is good enough for all day, a tank really simplifies life.

 

[Bovinia]

LOL Mark...I didn't want to scare him too much!

 

[markfm]

Doubled my eliquid use, but oh, it's worth it A good VV, with good eliquid in a tank, and you'll really never want to go back to anything else. I have my little stealth auto, for movies and the like, but as soon as I'm in an okay area out comes the VV/tank.

 

[Bovinia]

I walked around Lowes the other day vaping away. The fella who helped me find the saddle valve thought my BP and tank were cool so I gave him one of my ECF cards

There was no doubt in my military mind that you would be happy with the Buzz

 

[k5blazer]

I don't understand stealth vaping. I have a Buzz in my hand all day, everywhere I go, doing my vape thing.
