Help with batteries

[Lisaf01]

Gotta admit, the JantyStick has that built-in USB charger option. That appears to be a nice feature .. You can charge and vape just about anywhere. For me, that looks like the only attractive feature. Looks an easily breakable looking instrument.

Yes, I get the feeling that if you drop it, it's dead.

I bought my batteries. Local store called BatteriesPlus. They are the CR123A variety, 3V .. The way the rudest salesman on the planet explained it to me is that the CR123A batteries, the ones that are NOT chargeable, are 3.7V .. the chargeable CR123A batteries are 3V .. why ?? I don't know but the package says ULCR123RK 3V rechargeable SIZE 123 blah blah ..

The charger is called a 'smart charger' with auto shut-off and LED charge indicator .. [that I shouldn't take in the bathtub with me ... ]

I got 2 batteries plus a 2 battery charger for approx $30 .. Batteries and charger have a 3 year warranty and a 1 year 'in store' warranty.

If I did something wrong .. I can take them back --- the packages are still unopened.

Battery salesmen are not well in health contition I think The same here in Greece. They dont know anything about batteries!!

There are CR123A rechargeable batteries 3 volt and 3,7 volt. Thats it.

I am SO clumsy .. I dropped my SD from high enough that it chipped the cart. I don't think it put a dent in the metal. Thing is, the SD doesn't have the "sexy" that the GG has .. That's all I can say about the GG until I get it in my hands and mouth . . sheesh .. sounds X-rated.

Is there no such thing as a protected 3v CR2 battery? Any reason why? Too small or something.

 

[funkybozu]

yup
CR2s are to small for a battery type PCB, but you can find PCBs sold seperatly that you can hook up to the batt, .....

I dont like so much the cr2 batteries. I used them for 3-4 months now They seemed to be unprotected and they broke easily. The best way for me is to put cr123A 3 volt in Trans

Guys, as I said before, we must find big batteries. We already have 1000 mah cr123A 3v. Try to find bigger ones. Thats one of the most serious purpose of a mod, we must have it always in mind! GG is much more than a battery holder but the big batteries is still a concern

 

[Vaughanie]

Is it just me or do you find batteries confusing?
