I'm New

[WickedGene]

Hello all, only been vaping for a couple of weeks. Smoked for about 35 years and quit when I started vaping. Got a great support group with plenty of friends that got me into vaping and haven't wanted a cigarette at all. I have really enjoyed it so far. Been talking with my friends and reading stuff on here and learned quite a bit, still got allot to learn though. Well any way, just glad to be a part of the community.

Kind of went a little vape happy when I got started and bought a good bit of equipment. Here is what I have been using to vape with. Haven't decided what I like the best yet.
E leaf istick 50w with kanger Geni tank
kanger KBox with a Kanger sub tank mini
Cloupor T5 with Kanger turbo tank
Caravela clone with tug boat RDA

I like them all and switch back and forth between them.
Guess I gave up a habit for a hobby..... Lol

Welcome aboard
From your vaping tool list, looks like you've got it covered. I'm guessing this is not your first day vapin'.

 

[WickedGene]

Been vaping for a little over 2 weeks now.

 

[WickedGene]

Got a question about charging batteries.
I got a Cloupor T5 which uses a 18650
And it has a USB charging port. It came with the USB charger and I was wondering is it better to charge it with my laptop or plugging it into a wall charger? Any info would be appreciated.

 

[Foggyroomz]

First off welcome to the ECF family second truthfully it is best to charge your 18650 batteries in an actual battery charger designed to charge these cells like a nite core intelli-charger or an Xstar intelligent charger the USB port will struggle to charge the battery or batteries properly but if you choose to charge it like that I say plug it into the wall using a wall plug adapter so you aren't taxing the board on your computer as it will take 4 or 5 hours to charge.

 

[Foggyroomz]

If it were a dual 18650 box mod I would tell you definitely use a seperately charger as it is best to alternate the battery location in the mod after using and recharging this helps ensure that the cells are taxed equally as they are run in series the left most battery in the mod is the primary cell and the right bay is a booster battery so the left one handles the brunt of the load.

 

[EBates]

I do not recommend charging 18650 batteries in the mod. I pull the batteries and charge them on my Nitecore I4. And Never charge using a computer USB port.

Thanks, wasn't sure which was best way to go.
So many variations and options on equipment and the endless variety of flavors is kinda overwhelming.
