Dennis, heres one on Ebay, but almost double the price
TrustFire battery charger 18650 17670 14500 16340 CR123 - eBay (item 230406848618 end time Jan-01-10 00:43:40 PST)


SCRATCH THAT HERES ONE FOR $9 IN USA!!!
TrustFire All-in-One Charger

That's the exact charger I am using for ALL my batts. Although, I just recently discovered that it's charging my 3V batts to 3.9V.

Edit: That custom saber shop is an interesting site...amazing there is enough demand for those to have a whole site dedicated to it.

No, they don't get hot and run just fine at ~4V. I bet I'm reducing their overall lifespan significantly though.

Yes, this charger is NOT for 3.0v batts. 3.7v only.

I would not charge 3.0v batts in this charger, you run a real risk of them exploding due to over charging, especially if they are unprotected cells

Crash,
last week my chuck stopped working, couldn't figure out if it was the batteries or the atty's. the photos you showed were for different atty's than I have. I'm using DSE-801's, I took a small screwdriver and pulled up on the center post all the way around and they work like new again. They obviously were not making contact with the adapter. Thanks for the idea

Yeah wonder what will come first 10k posts or highping's kitchen fire.

Seriously though.. we should start a 'just for fun pool' on when 10k hits. (I got 7pm tomorrow night) That's a tough call with this thread though.

that's what i heard...but then i heard that 'food grade' was better tasting...and possibly better for you???
no idea on that statement...

brouxman the stuff I buy is Wilton brand from Hobby Lobby (cake decorating section). It comes in a 2oz clear plastic bottle for around 2 bucks. If the stuff you have is sweet to the taste (mine is), it's probably the same exact stuff.

Crash, Big Thanks for those pictures! I got it this time and it must be me and tweezers(s)

I finally tried it with a strong paperclip - gently and the center post moved and they make a connection now.

If anyone is interested, Crashtestjeep posted pictures on page 967 on how to adjust your atomizers for a better connection.

I had no idea it could move.

Anyone reading along, I'm not saying this is just a Chuck situation, because now I'm thinking back to other devices I had and thought the atomizers were bad from the beginning...hmmm.

Thanks again and I really do appreciate your time in posting those pictures.

I bought the glycerine usp from the first aid section at rite aid

You have the right stuff there.

 

[crashtestjeep]

NO problem, glad I could help

Well put me in for 10 puffs that it's Sat 3:52p.m. Easter Standard time. lol. But, if Jeff announces any "surprise contests" heck it could it 10k in 2 hours times. But pending any surprise contest give a aways, I'd say 3:52P.m. give or take a puff.
