First Mod

[johnspack]

Since it will be 6 months I'm smoke free after 40 years on the 28th, decided it's time to treat myself to a mod. Currently running Davide tanks with Aspire dual coils on 1300mah spinners. Although an odd choice, I picked the E-LVT, and have chosen the Panasonic 3100mah battery upgrade. Also wanting to try out the Aerotank with Kangor duals, but that's another story..... Anyone else tried the E-LVT yet? And preferably with the bigger 18650 batteries? And no, I won't be dropping it in a toilet.......
Edit: I remember why I posted now... it comes with usb charging cables, I have a samsung tablet charger with 2a output, will it charge the E-LVT okay?

I always liked the look of that mod looks Dr Who Star Trek ish. That charger should be ok. I use a USB power plug with a micro usb cable to charge my Hana DNA 30 clone. One thing I would do if I were you and I do this is change out the battery that you use in it every so often as I noticed I have a tendency to not run the battery down all the way to the 3.4 ish area like your suppose to. Early on they said that LIon batteries did not have a memory but that has been disproved. So best to cycle batteries though it to prevent a battery from developing a memory. Memory fyi is when you say discharge a battery to 3.6 volts all the time and then pop it in the charger. Well the battery over time will learn that and go dead when it hits 3.6 volts at some point.

I know, I like the look of it too, so what the heck. Also like the idea of being able to fire my aspires at full voltage instead of 4.8 max... And the 3100mah capacity, c'mon! Just tired of charging my 2 1300s every night. And a flashlight can't hurt.....?

I'll just wait and post a review with the 3100mah battery when I get it. Also going to try the Aerotank with it.....

I hadn't heard about li-ion batteries having a memory effect so I googled it. Found this: http://www.psi.ch/media/memory-effect-now-also-found-in-lithium-ion-batteries. Apparently it only applies to lipo batteries, and it's only indicated, not definitely proven.
