I need to go back and check the DNA250C again as I'm pretty sure it still charges when firing. The 250C would actually crash/reboot my power bank when fired, not just drops the amps to zero like the others.
All of my DNA250C drops the charge when firing and then starts when you stop firing. It doesn't go straight to 2A, but builds up to it like in 5 seconds. I am running older firmware remember.

And with the latest 250C firmware the charging stops as well.

Finally, a little common sense is entering the arena. I just heard a report, on the local ABC station, saying that smoking marijuana is potentially more harmful than smoking cigarettes. While cigarette smokers seem to take more inhales, they are short and relatively shallow inhales. Marijuana smokers take fewer inhales, but they are, generally, deeper and held longer which leads to even more absorption of dangerous chemicals and the byproducts of combustion. Who'd a thunk that without an "official" study?

With all due respect! There's just So many things wrong with this!
#1 nobody smokes 20 to 30 joints a day, I cant say for sure but I'm thinking thats average for a smoker?
#2 Weed is a plant, that hasn't been doctored six ways till Sunday by BT to addict you till Death!
#3 a joint is usually shared by more than one person, & all thou they may take a deeper lung hit, they take far less of them
#4 personally, from a 40 year smoker I don't think there is any thing as addictive as cigarettes! Except may be some really hard drugs! Weed isn't addictive it's habit forming. a lot easier to quit weed than quit smoking!

I could probably go on all day here! You get the gist of my point of view!

You question the methods and conclusions of an expert? Shocked, I am. You must be one of them thinker type people. [I hear tell that sarcasm should be in green]

Let's see, inhaling the smoke from a dried out plant is OK as long as it hasn't been doctored. I guess doctoring adds products of combustion, too. In all seriousness, do you really think that burning something and inhaling the smoke and fumes it produces is a non-damaging thing? The effects will happen, over time, with either MJ or BT.

not a fan of mj - all it did was put me to sleep years ago - but not being 'enriched' hopefully makes a difference ;)

''There are approximately 600 ingredients in cigarettes. When burned, cigarettes create more than 7,000 chemicals. At least 69 of these chemicals are known to cause cancer, and many are toxic.''

No, I do not! I do truly believe that it's MUCH less harmful than smoking cigarettes!
BT has used all it's $ & every bit of science it could buy to Kill You!
Weed is a semi harmless drug to get high on, you can also eat weed to not get the smoking affects :)
If anyone is trying to tell me cigarettes aren't as harmful as????? You better be bringing a lot worse than weed to the argument!

Well, again, there's a major difference involved in the inhale itself. MJ gets deeply inhaled, usually every time, and usually held for a few seconds, or more, to get the maximum effect. Unfortunately that leaves the smoke, and all its' byproducts way down in the lungs which, I suspect is significantly more damaging than a quick inhale/exhale, that is relatively shallow. The number of chemicals in a cigarette are mind boggling, let alone the number of byproducts they create but no one, at least so far or that I have seen, has analyzed MJ smoke tosee what's actually in there. I can guess "tar" for one thing and getting that way down in the lungs can'e be a good thing.

Anecdotally, a friends son has been "using" since his teens a few a day. He's now in his fifties and wheezes worse than I did before I started vaping. He's never smoked a regular cigarette to my knowledge. Granted, one anecdotal case, but I do believe it is indicative of what regular, long term, effects can be whether it's MJ or BT. Tar is tar.

I'm with you, Tibs. I don't need MJ to help me sleep and that's all it did for me both times I "experimented". Like everything, though, it effects everyone differently I guess.

I "experimented" for about 15 years.
But I must say it did change something in my brain chemistry. Violent anxiety attacks aren't something I bargained for. I also blame my loss of an almost....what's the word....eidetec memory. Lol I literally had too look it up. Oh well we reap what we sow and I can't blame anyone else.

Anyone notice any problems with the internet today? I keep getting DNS lookup failures then things come back. One site, wxforum.net has been that way since last evening.

On another, off topic, note. I went back to the gym today for the first time in probably eight or ten years. I have lost some, shall we say, endurance but I'm determined to get that back. The machines are, basically, the same and, or course, free weights are free weights, but it did feel good to do a little, light, workout again.

I used casually as a younger man. For Me it was fun, a few laughs with friends was OK :)
As I got older I quit it with no issues. Quitting Cigarettes was a different story :(
Today even thou it's now legal here I would never smoke weed again! Smoking any thing is Bad idea.

I never considered some one smoking weed all day every day! If you were to smoke weed like cigarettes I guess it wouldn't be any better?

When I think about smoking weed, I see a group of friends getting high laughing it up & ordering a Pizza :) Not a life long addiction like smoking cigarettes :(

I still think smoking cigarettes is worse than smoking weed :)

Nope! Everything seems pretty normal here in the far north. :cool:
