My new Blue G2 LE is looking and running Fantastically for me, though it started out a little sketchy.
When I first got it, I already had (2) sets of married Samsung Baby Blues in my battery drawer that I had earmarked for my Cuboid previously, but, only used each once, then put the Cuboid away for Vapepocalypse (still looking for a suitable dolly to drag it around on
), so I checked the charge, as they had been sitting for about 6 months, they were still at 4.15v, so good enough for me.
When I unboxed the G2 and did a thorough walk-around and saw nothing suspect, so I proceeded to load it up with a set of Baby Blue 25r's. Here's where things got a little weird. I put the 25r's in and saw the screen come to life then go blank, OK, that's normal, I'll just turn my new G2 on now. I pressed and held the mode button for 1,2,3,4,5,6, all the way past 10 seconds and nothing, so I kept holding for about 30 seconds and still nothing. Huh.... I took the batteries out and re-installed them being Very careful of the orientation, though the first time
was correct as I always watch out for that anyways. Still nothing though on the second try, so I got the 2nd set of 25r's out and put them in and tried to start up my G2, again nothing. Well Crap, did I get a dud ?? I took the batteries out and exercised the battery contacts in and out a few times, seemed to have a few catches that worked out and smoothed up by doing so, and looked the G2 over again real close this time, still no problems to find. Tried it again a 3rd time and loaded up the batteries,
Success !! Finally got it to turn on. Weird though, but Success this time, the battery meter read 100%.
After the interesting start with the battery drama, I decided to exercise the 510 pin in and out a few times to limber that part up a bit also, it too was a bit sticky, but smoothed out as I went through the paces. I refer you to this post;
HOHM Wrecker 151W TC ? but will note that when the G2 first read the resistance it got a 1.10Ω reading, which I thought to be a bit low, but wondered if this G2 was just gonna read low on all my builds, some mods do read a bit low and some read a bit high I have found throughout my over 2 years of vaping, so I'll have to keep an eye on that as I go along.
I was vaping happily along for about an hour then it hit me, according to the chart in the manual, NiCr is supposed to FSK a little higher than Kanthal right ? Mine is doing just the opposite. What's up here ?? Further research on my part is warranted I think. This G2 is turning into an adventure, for sure !!
Next post, as this is getting a little long. Ya Think ??
