Kanger Dripbox 160 TC

[jseah]

Does anyone understand the reason Phil Busardo is saying we should use dedicated batteries..... This is regulated right.... I thought you only had to do that with parallel mech boxes.
I do notice my batteries are charging at different rates so I dunno, I don't get it..... I thought regulated is supposed to take the thinking out of things like battery pairing and rotation??

Battery pairing still is handy with regulated mods since you will be ensured that the batteries wear evenly, the pair of batteries will have gone through the same number of recharge cycles. Generally you will get a slight variance between the discharge between the two batteries so this would be normal. For example, when I go to recharge the pair of batteries in my Dripbox 160, one battery may measure at 3.45 volts while the other may measure at 3.42 volts. On the other hand, my Laisimo L1 does discharge the batteries unevenly. When taking the discharged batteries out, one battery may measure at 3.2 volts while the other will measure at 2.8 volts.

I hardly ever use onboard charging with my 18650's. I recharge using an external charger and the only time I will use onboard charging is if I am out and about and my batteries are low, then I'll plug it into the phone charger in the car.

Basically as long as they were purchased at the same time and always used together. They always recommend married batteries, if one is older than the other with more cycles on it is where the problem comes in. One could discharge faster causing higher load on the better battery, and depending on your power settings that could be very bad. We have all heard the stories of regulated mods venting and many say it is due to random batteries being used.

Ok yeah I've never heard of regulated venting like I said I thought it was mods like the hexohm.... Anyway good to know I just bought 8 vtc5s from illumin. So should these new batteries be discharging at the same rate then

So I just checked my pair charging and ones completely charged and the other is @ 4.08 so I'm thinking when is see that the battery bars on the DB are half way I'll just switch them I used to do that with my hexohm...WIERD.

Eventhough I've read mixed reviews about VaporBeast, I just order a SS one from them in hopes of having it before June 24th. I've been burned by pre-orders in the past and hope their "In Stock" wasn't a scam. I'll keep y'all posted.

Had probably 15 or so orders from VaporBeast never a problem.

Never had an issue with vapor beast either...

I already received tracking and it actually shipped. i.e. Not just pre-shipment info sent, like some places, which is an extremely good sign!

I received my 160W a few days ago. Tried the stock atty and that lasted two minutes. Threw my Marquis on there and was good to go. It is a large device but so far I really like it. It is sturdy, not cheap plastic, ergonomically the squonk bottle and fire button are well placed, squonks easy, and I paid under $50. Only problem I had was I needed to dilute my juice for the first time. I went from 12mg to 3mg so I wouldn't get nic sick. I have been waiting for a sub $100 regulated dual battery squonker and it has arrived.

Congratulations!..I had the same problem a while ago when I started building lower resistances. Have you tried 6 mg nic?

 

[2buildawall]

Tamer, I will be mixing up a batch of 6mg this weekend! I had a bottle of 3mg handy and at 4:30am it worked out just fine. I usually use 50/50 pg/vg in my squonkers but the 3mg was 100% vg and it squonked great on this device. This was the first device I ever purchased as a pre-order and am not regretting it.

I received mine today! I can't wait to get home to use my new shiny.

 

[Tamer El-Meehy]

anybody got the silver one?

Shiney silver and smooth.

Does it seem like a decent metal? Hopefully it's fairly scratch resistant.
And is it a fingerprint magnet type of finish?

 

[rangerrobin]

I will fondle, I mean inspect it further, and try to upload photos when I get home!

 

[rangerrobin]

Not home yet, but busted it out at woik.

Metal = Feels sturdy. Fingerprints = Yes.

Thanks!

Okay, so I filled the juice bottle and put my Odin V2 on it. I inserted 2 brand new Samsung 25Rs, or tried to. One battery wrap grated off the side like a cheese grater!
I tried various batteries, but any two, new or old, grate and are such a tight fit, I have to use a tool to pull them out. I've tried to find reviews about this, but I seem to be the only one with this issue.

Also, my build is a .5 dual coil, but it's reading as a .3?

Anyone else experience or hear of any of these issues? Did I get a faulty one?
