Thank you everyone for your replies!!! Wow, what a nice thing to wake up to. =)

Mist,
Oh yes, I ordered an extra set of powerized batts. I almost ordered two extra sets...I'm one of those "have back ups for your backups" kind of gals! hahaha

Oh I simply cannot wait to experience VV!!! Been drooling about it since I first saw the concept. BTW Mist, Bo (my boyfriend) went nuts over those woody's you create! I just knew he would. He's an auto body tech by trade now, but he graduated from tech with a cert in cabinetmaking. He wanted to work for a guitar company fresh out of school, as he just loved the wood work involved. I see a woody in his future. (OMG that doesn't sound right!!) lol Let me change that to a woody-buzz in his future!:facepalm::vapor:

I would certainly hope so for both of your sakes........... and as for the veneered Buzz, that would be great. :)

BTW, as far as how much better the Powerizer batts are in this Buzz Pro, I just realized that I put these batts in at 10:00 am yesterday and it's 3:40 pm now so that's 29 hours and 40 minutes.

Oh my stars and garters, the thought of my Buzz being violated by someone thinking it's something else, sends chills down my spine. ROFL! Or better yet, I worked for many years at a United Way Agency here in the county. Know alot of the people here, including most in the local government. Can you imagine if one of them has my Buzz, maybe opened it (don't know why they would but it could happen) and thinking that I'm ordering *ahem* toys?!?!

Or my son is a well known leiutentant with Fire Rescue, my daughter works for the State Attorney, and their co workers know where I live (nice to be covered in case something happens) so they'd recognize my name and address. Could you imagine if one of their people got it and opened it!!! For once in my life I'd have a reputation, oooohhhhhhh I'd be scandalous!! LMAO!!

...Do you know (maybe I should read up more) if these types of batts do best to fully discharge before recharging, or can they be charged up each night after that days' use?

Congrats, Tracy & LD. From a bang-for-the-buck perspective, you've made the best of all choices.

On the battery-discharge question, Bov has it right. Battery University has this to say about that:

Similar to a mechanical device that wears out faster with heavy use, so also does the depth of discharge (DoD) determine the cycle count. The smaller the depth of discharge, the longer the battery will last. If at all possible, avoid frequent full discharges and charge more often between uses. If full discharges cannot be avoided, try utilizing a larger battery. Partial discharge on Li-ion is fine; there is no memory and the battery does not need periodic full discharge cycles...

Bottom line, you can vape-by-day, charge-by-night even if the batts aren't fully discharged; in fact, it's better if you do.

HA! Wharf and Bov are at war in UTC. :lol:

@Ma'am: You have a wonderfully cheerful way of looking at this situation. I wish you the best and fastest resolution. From what I understand, the NotCigs gang are top notch and will probably help you any way they can.

@PI: Can I leave a set of batteries in the charger or do they need to be pulled right away?

@Wharf: :lol::lol: Stop picking on me... :lol::lol:
(yup, I know where that is going)

LD, overcharge is an issue only with the unprotected variety; protection circuits shut the door on overcharge. I've frequently left mine on the charger all night. Having said that, I don't believe in tempting fate unnecessarily. I try to put them on the charger early enough in the afternoon that I can pull them when they're charged (takes about 3 hours).

Lithium-ion operates safely within the designated operating voltages; however, the battery becomes unstable if inadvertently charged to a higher than specified voltage...The cell pressure rises, and if charging is allowed to continue the current interrupt device (CID) responsible for cell safety disconnects the current at 1,380kPa (200psi)...

@Tracy: Watch out. We tend to find that line. We don't cross it, but we have been known to redraw it to our advantage when no one is looking. They will probably tell you that it is mostly me... but they all lie. Lies I tell ya!

@PI: Thanks bro. Luckily, Mike sells the batteries at a pretty good price. I may get a couple more sets and a charger for my office at work.

The powerizers are unprotected so should they not be left on the charger after they are done charging?

Theoretically yes, you should pull them off. In practice, the charger should stop charging at or around 4.2V. Personally, I just check, with a multi-meter, and verify that the charger stops charging by, at the absolute most, 4.25V and then I don't worry about it after that.
