Help: questions and answers

[firhill]

I need help!I gave someone a BB from Altsmokes a while back.They want to use it at 6v.I need to know what batteries go in it for that.I cant figure it out.Had I known it did higher voltage I would have kept it,LOL!!Can anyone help me?Which batts and charger do I need to do 6v??

You can find a pretty good deal on them here. Make sure you get the 750mah ones and NOT the 900mah ones.

If you buy, use the code TENERGYDEALS for free shipping.

I've never owned a BB/SB but do use them for 6V vaping in my Prodigy V2's. Some folks have said that they find the vape a little harsh when fresh off the charger at around 6.4V.

Thanks for that link and the free shipping code, I can definately use this. Especially since I checked out the site and it would be $8-9 shipping for the few small batts I want.

OK,so they are cr123 3v batts?Are those the same size as the icr 123's 3.7v batts?Just size wise I mean,so I can see if they will fit.

OK tried it,The icr 123 3.7v wont fit.way to fat.Are the 3v thinner?

All cr123 batteries are (or should be) the same dimensions, so if the ones you have won't fit, then the tenergys won't either.

I know Altsmoke doesn't recommend stacking batteries, thus the reason for selling the BB as a 3.7V device, but maybe post in their supplier sub-forum and see if a BB user will give you some input as to what batteries to use for 6V in a BB.

Thank you for all the info Firhill,I have asked over there before and it seems nobody really wants to answer.I wonder if I could sand the opening enough for them to fit and then drill a hole in the bottom for vent hole.I told my friend that there would be a risk of ruining it.What do you think?

keyz, I believe what you want is the CR2 3V batteries. Check this out:
Ultrafire Protected CR2/15270 Li-Ion Battery, 3 Volts

In the review of the batteries, the person says they use them in their BB. I used to have some CR2s, but sold them. They are smaller than cr123as.

Thank you Redgirl!!Ill check it out after Christmas.Im kinda glad they are out of stock,LOL

I showed it to my friend and he is going to look for some now.He said he cant wait,LOL!

cr123 batteries are also known as 16340...
that is they should be 16mm diameter x 34mm long (plus whatever the pcb adds if it has one)

unfortunately depending on manufacturer that measurement varies... and companies that are known for less than stellar QC are worse at that measurement varrying even from production batch to production batch (the *fire brands for example)...


and those tenergy batteries I wouldn't tough with a 1000 foot pole...
because of this right from their spec sheet:
•Maximum discharging rate:< 550 mA

the amp draw of just about every atty or carto at 6V is way more than half an amp

so the tenergy you're stacking and deliberately overstressing batteries...

keyz, I was going through my stash and I still have 2 CR2 batts. I had 4 and thought I sold all of them, but I guess I only sold 2. PM me if you want them.

 

[redgirl]

So keyz, did those batts work?

I just wanted to know if anyone has tried the different tobacco flavors at Vaperite and what you think of them. I think I may get a sampler pack. The 777 & hazlenut tobacco sound interesting.

I have a question about the PIF thread rules. When you take one do you need to offer one up that is about the same amount in liquid or is it just make it close or a worthy batch???
