[xsmooth69x]

ok ive been off the forums for like months and months ok

last time i checked they didnt have a PCC for the m401/2/3 and now they dooo!!!

so this is whats up use the m401 bats for the house and m403 out in public because then its the same size of the cig. but i want a PCC that can charge both!!!!

then it gets confusing

at heaven gifts there PCC only charges 401/402? why not 403? what is the foam to high up?

****and heaven gifts can charge manual batteries too****

This is the deal:

They should be the same except for the HG ones (i cannot be sure for those).

Check this thread out:

Yeah, it's confusing. As Fedor points out that thread will help you a bunch. In short:

402/403 PCC: Will charge all three batts, manual/auto, but the lid will not close on the 401.

401 PCC: Meant for 401, auto/manual, will charge 402 but can be cumbersome to get out. 403 is too short.

ya i try not to post or make threads without searching and i did read that thread.

absolutelyecigs doesnt mention anything about the manual batts fitting or working without the button not clearing.

HG makes it very clear that you can.

is there any mods out there than can make the 401 pcc be able to charge 403?

like i said in my situation i only use 401 and 403......

HG only offer the 401/2 pcc ****yet like i said the dimensions for both 401/2 and 402/3 pcc is exactly the same so is the foam size the only difference?

Absolutelyecigs did not mention it in the individual PCC page but does mention it here:

Starter Kits - *NEW* M402 SMART PCC STARTER KIT (M401/3 COMPATIBLE) - Electronic Cigarette | Electronic Cigarettes | E-Cigarettes | E-Cigs from Smoore

I can also personally vouch that it does. I don't know if there are any mods that can make the PCC charge M401 and M403 batteries since the size difference is quite apparent. If it can be done, perhaps they would not have bothered to come out with 2 models. Just mho.

Perhaps you can come out with a foam mod and bring an extra foam out with you. You also mentioned that you use the M401 at home so you would probably not need a PCC. In this case, get the M402 PCC that will charge your M403 on the go since the PCC is particularly useful when you are outdoors with no wall power source.

yes this is true but i still on long trips (i travel alot) use the 401.

the thing that i guess is the biggest thing is that both pcc dimensions are the same!!?!?!?

i would totally just get the 402/3 because it would be a smaller even more compact pcc than the 401 but the dimensions for both are exactly the same?!?!?

I think it comes down to the foam insert dimensions and what makes it compatible with which one. I'd be nice if they sold the inserts...

I pretty sure I can't answer all your questions but I'll tell you what I know:

I have both the 401 PowerPal from Electronic-Cigz and 401 E-Vaporizer from HG. Both appear to be identical except for the branding. Both will charge either an auto or manual battery - also the 402 battery if your fingers are small enough to get it in and out of there. 403 battery.. no way.

I don't have the 402 PCC but if you want to be able to charge the 401 & 403 batteries I don't really see any other choice. Of course, you wouldn't be able to close the lid while charging the 401 battery. The foam inserts on both of mine are cut out for manual batteries so even if the 402 PCC isn't it should be a fairly simple user fix with a sharp knife.

I'm not sure of your reasons for wanting to use 403 batteries (I have a few and never pull them out because they're just too wimpy), but if that's your decision I'd say get the 402 PCC. Otherwise, think about moving up to a 401/402 combo and get the 401 PCC.

ya i guess im going to get the one from HG..... they dont offer the 402/3 so ill just get the 401 and mod it for the 403 if not your right 403 is wimpy and i have like 5 403 bats ill just burn all those if im out....

ill post the mod on the site if its possible..... i dont see why u couldnt use the m403 other than the foam.

The foam insert is easy enough to get out... it's not even glued in place (it's press fit). The main problem charging a 403 battery in this thing is having skinny enough fingers to screw it in. If you had the right diameter rubber fuel line you might be able to push it over the end of the battery and use that to screw it in and out, but I haven't tried it.
