Mine came...has a charge...and I'm a vaping fool!!!! So far so good and I LOVE this thing.

FYI...don't try using a 901 flat cart. It doesn't reach the bridge of the cone atty. I swapped out the blue foam from the 901 tip I was using on my passthrough into the standard round 510 tip and I'm in heaven.

I'm not a Marlb. person, so not sure what I'll do with the Marlb carts. Probably empty them and refill with my Menthol juice and blue foam.

Now to test the battery life over the next 4 days....

Tracking finally posted for my package. It is coming today!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome!

My tracking hasn't posted yet. And another order for flavorings has weird tracking as of yet, it doesn't make sense that it left the senders hometown and nearest big city yesterday and then it finally receives the electronic shipping info from sender this morning.

But it's not as bad as Hoogie's LR atty tracking. :unsure: Now that's turning into the Never-Ending Shipment Story

Using the 510 cartoz from V4L... so disappointing that they dont fit right on! Too late in the week to get em this week too :/
This is the ooops bit. Vapor4Life sells KR808D-1 cartomizers not 510 ones. Get the 510->808 adapter and you'll be set. 510 to 901/808-D Adapter

Those flashlights are AWESOME.

The ones he throws in? yeah, they are. My brother broke the first one I got in the first 2 minutes he was holding it :evil:

But i have two others for him to work on and now he knows how not to pry things apart. I'm not sure that he broke it beyond using it, but he just kinda handed me a pile of parts and said "oops"

Manufacturer warned me not to use the 016 charger with regular batteries..

hoog
the ego fast charger is the same way so i would not even think about it not to mention the amperage is more then double. avg 510 charger is about 150-200 Millie amps an then you got the fast charger thats 420 Millie amps nearly half an amp. if you did not know amps are like the force behind the voltage. example car battery only 12 volts but that thing has far more then enough amps to kill you instantly. note 1 amp can kill a human regardless off the voltage. for reference i took electrical engineering just one of many skills.

My mom told me that too, lol. She works with electronics (soldering cameras for yachts? or something like that). She's reminded me several times that amp are the ones that kill at a low number and other technical stuff that I try my best to remember.

We also use her to solder mods :D

Kealia, HI
Charging issues is one of my main concerns as well too. It would be cool to hear back from everyone who's ordered one over the next couple of weeks to see how everything holds up. Like the day they recieve it, after the first drain & charge, and then maybe a little while after.


Ok...I dont know if it's my battery or my charger or if I am just being duh....
My last charge seems to have gone ok...I charged it overnight... it needed chaarged about 7-8 hours later. My charger seemed to be acting funny =the light on the part you screw the battery into didnt want to turn red...I fiddled with it finally it turned red...I charged it for 3-4 hours the light turned green (I'm not exactly sure when) and I started using it...less than an hour later the dern thing is dead! SO I plugged it into the charger and the stupid light is GREEN....wont turn red no matter what I do...

So what do u all think charger? Battery?Am I doing something wrong? I am going to leave it all night charging to see if it charges...

I hope I am just being a dork and doing something wrong....
