Now I won't be able to sleep for sure. I'm excited. Here is the meter I got. I've had it for a few yrs. but it works good and the wires are attached. It don't come with glasses though.
That's the exact one I have, from Radio Shack.
KR808D-1 MEGA Beta test in progress.

I have a multimeter, hubby just got a new one last week.....and... I just took it out of his tool box
And yes I do to know how to work it
And now for some strange reason, I want chili cheese fries.......

I think it's a pretty good unit for the money although I had to re-solder the probes after they went this way and that untill they come off the wires. But you can't tell I did.
Them chili cheese fries would be better with hotdogs in them.
By the way I'm on day 3 with this same carto and it's still great.

day 2 at 5V here. Might have been a little slow out the gate, but they are good in the stretch
Switched, me and you joined the forum about the same time and our post count is pretty close too. Finishing day 3 and still good. I turn the voltage down a little after I vape for awhile because when I fill these I get them so full I turn it up to burn the overfill off.
I did not get to use mine today, woke up and hubs was gone and took both of them with him!
He has a 16 hour day so we will let it slide this time.

Speaking of, variable voltage, I met Mike Buzz today, he had nothing but good things to say about you. Keep rockin! Can you send me a Pm with your email, so I can find you in the system?
Thats cool, Mike is a great guy. I just sent you a pm and my charger works good. I had to open one of my other chargers and attach the ac wire permanently so I figured I'd better get a new one. Hey, chargers don't last forver I found out. These cartos do though. I'm wondering if I'll ever get to use one of the other ones. I'm going into day 4 and the vapor and taste is the same as day one.
Still vaping at 5V and there is no sign of letting off (yet). It has been a week for me.
One thing I did notice with these and this is common with many atomisers is that once you take them up to 5V they no longer perform as well at 3.7V. This is not a knock on the product just something that occurs with atomisers for some reason.
Metaphorically speaking, it is akin to switching an engine to reg gas after it has been used with higher octane fuels, it doesn't like it.

LOL So first he takes one and loses it in the battle of Bambi's daddy and now he just outright takes them on ya! I'll be sure to send ya double, so that you guys can share
That he is and that they do. Thankfully one only had gone bad after about 6 months, but then again the charger never has been unplugged
Absolutely Switcher! and Great analogy.
I always looked at it as the voltage creating a hole. The higher the voltage, the bigger the hole expands. Since 3.7v can't have that tight circumference due to 5-6V, it just trickles on through giving much lower performance.
Iken, lol hubs is sneaky that way....but I have both of them back and they are still working!
Hubs took both of them with him yesterday and a stompbox, he had a 16 hour day and was hitting them hard.
The newest carto I am cleaning and keeping until it dies, the older one that is going on OVER 2 weeks I am going to tear it apart and have a look at it, I know hubs hits these things harder and longer than I do, and he is a carto abuser and killer, the fact that he got 4 straight days on top of my 9 days is amazing and the carto is still ALIVE!

Well, I killed my second one. I was at the vaper's meetup in Altanta, and had it on my Wetbox. I put it in my tackle box while showing someone another mod, and forgot to use the kill switch. About ten minutes later, I look down in the box and notice the outside of the carto was "melty", and it was hotter than

I'll take it apart today and see what kind of damage was done. I'll post pics later.

Folks often use 6V to descibe vaping with a pair of Tenergy LifePO4s. This does not appear to be the case.
Here's a pic of a freshly charged pair firing a Joye 510. Note the actual loaded volts.

It seems you have a habit of jumping into threads mis-informed at times. Isaac did not require an explanation wrt to rig I used. FYI however, my Blue Tenergys put out 5.5V under load and the AW LifePo4 5.8V using the KR8 carto, not that it really matters to you one way or another now does it?

Ok, I ripped it open and checked it out. Ready for the result? NO burning. I have no idea how it could avoid being burned after getting that hot.
Some standard discoloration from the juice, but I couldn't find any spots that burned.
Interesting. I have two discoloured spot on my last one. I have been using it for 5 days now at 5V. No burnt taste and the discolouration is about where the atty is, and looking from the inside, the batting is thinner on this particular side.

Thats interesting. They must be using Kevlar or something. All I know is I like them better than any others.
I'm rather surprised. It got hot enough to melt the glue of the carto covering, but I couldn't find a single burn spot in the filling. I would have been willing to bet that I charred at least a little bit in there.
