I have two X6 Kamry clones two C-twists, and a vision spinner. Everyone of my variables, all five, have died on me today. I only charge my batts when they die, I'm not one of those that puts a battery on the charger every night whether it needs it or not, but I do switch around batteries a lot.

So... I can't really tell you when the last time each battery was charged.

I must have done something really horrible for karma to bite me this way. I'm reduced to using the ego T clones I keep for company or to loan out at work when some dimwit doesn't carry an extra.

Maybe this is the universe telling me it's time to invest in a Provari...:laugh:

Well if done on a USB port I can understand this. USB is not the best source, IMHO. That said, can you say how many charge cycles has been done? Maybe they are at the limit and not holding charge as they should if any at all.

But a Provari is not the cure, it uses a battery too!:D

I've been vaping for 18 days now. I'm pretty sure most of those batteries have seen less than five cycles, except maybe my first C twist. And I only charge on AC. How do you acquire so many batteries if you've only been vaping 18 days you ask?

I'm a VapeMail/Ebay addict.

As to the Provari, it uses batteries that you take out and replace with other batteries, so it's never rendered useless while I wait for it to charge, therefore eliminating the horrifying experience of having to use a non variable ego clone :(

Because I know me, and the number of batteries I already own should be a good indication to everyone else, that I will have multiple sets of rechargables and more than likely multiple chargers. :D

Rechargable batteries are a girls best friend you know.

There are several possible solutions:

Invest in a passthrough. Then you can vape while it charges.

Or keep at least one constantly charging (cycle them through before they're dead, not just leaving one sit on the charger. Lol)

Keep at least one backup fully charged and out of the usual rotation so you always have a 'go-to' charged and handy.

Invest in a replaceable battery mod, charger and enough batteries for spares...but you still have to remember to charge! :p

There's a passthrough coming in my latest Slowtech order :D

And there again is the universe telling me it's time for a Provari....

If the checkbook says no to the Provari at least pop for a couple of extra charger cords for the twists and spinner.
I have more ego cords scattered around than I do cell cords.

Cari, you could probably make something like that at home. Check out this thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...show-us-your-girly-pretty-decorated-pink.html

I'm actually looking at Vamo's... and bling from the local hobby store lol

I'd like to do something like this, though not quite as over the top, and also a patriotic/military/USMC themed one, though that will probably be a box mod. I have a huge dogtag shaped pendant with rhinestones that says "Marine Mom" that will get adhered on the front!

I love to look at their pix but I tend to like the streamlined simple look. That thread has lots of pages and they specify the glues etc needed. I bet you could make a super marine mod.

Yup, I'm pretty proud of my kid for choosing to serve, and I'm sure I could find all sorts of goodies to bling it up, especially approaching the 4th of July

I would steer clear of Vamo...bad 510 connections due to soft metal used...I say this because I feel you probably change tanks often which would lead to greater chance of messing the threads up. Try a Sieglei Zmax or Smok Zmax, they have rather stout threading on the 510 connection.

I have 6 vamos lol. I love them but I use 510 adapters on everything. The threading is weaksince I buy from china hence the adapters and I have not had a problem yet. I have 3 sigelei zmax with button problems but I love their looks. If they could come up with a sigelei battery and a vamo config I would buy. I hate one button interfaces.
