Another way to do it, is to have Harry ship the shirts together with any future order after 2 June of those who have ordered a t-shirt....

I have the excell list with the names of the people and the respective size of the t-shirt.

I could have Harry forward the USA clients shirts to JEFF to do the same over there.

Seems easier no?

The easiest thing to do would be for Jeff and Harry to accept payments for postage from us and for them to send out the t-shirts. I guess that might be too much trouble if they aren't processing an order at the same time but some of us won't need to order for a while or don't buy from the US or Dutch stores.

We also have members in other countries such as New Zealand.

Is there a possibility that Harry and Jeff would post them out for us?

 

[Ludo]

Then I prefer sending the boxes to 2 people from WTF rather... Harry and Jeff are too busy and sending money is not an option because of accounting...

Ok, I'll try to get something sorted Ludo.

My PCC tends to discharge completely when i leave a battery in it overnight. Could be that the button gets depressed when its in the case, however I do not hear it when I insert the battery.

Any advice, Ludo? The idea of the PCC is great but it is unfortunate that it seems to continue to discharge completely even if the battery charge is full.

Appreciate everyone's help.

I also have a PCC problem. I recieved my Dura-C and PCC today and I don't think I got the right PCC. The manual battery will not fit the PCC without being depressed and then squeezing the battery into place with some force. I assume this is not the "fixed" PCC that was advertised.

i have the same problem. i emailed janty a couple weeks ago about it and got no reply.

Look down the slot that holds the battery, there should be a "wide spot" and line up the switch with that and then push.

 

[ironlung]

thats sound advice slot should be @8;00 position 1/4" wide1/8" deep or so!

 

[HmmphSea]

Is that 8:00 am or pm?

Thank for the advice; I'll have to look at it tomorrow since I left it at work, but I did turn the battery around in the hole a bit trying to find an angle where it would pop in and there was nothing apparent.

Are you saying that the slot begins somewhere part way down the hole, and you have to initially press the button to get down to it (seems like that would deteriorate the button's life on the way back up)?

Also, I shoved the battery all the way down while the PCC was charging and there was no change in the indicator lights. I was at work so I didn't take the time to decipher whether a change should have occured or not, but I'll take the simpler approach and just ask you folks.

Also, does the PCC plugged into my USB port charge the battery as fast as if it were plugged into the wall? I.e., can I do the initial 8 hour charge with the PCC, or will it take longer than that?

Thanks for any follow-up.

I have one of the older PCC's that I had to mod to get the manual battery to fit, but it takes maybe 4 hours to charge up via usb if it was drained.

 

[HmmphSea]

I meant the initial charge. The user manual tells me to charge for 8 hours the first time and I want to know if that can be done via USB via PCC.

No groove on my PCC. is it possible that they sent me an old version?

Yeah it sounds like it. Email Jeff to see if they will switch it.......

 

[HmmphSea]

There's definitely no such groove in my PCC. Honestly, I'm a little offended, as though they've tried to unload their bad stock on the unsuspecting.

yeah, then they don't reply to emails.

...awesome.

I just received my PCC a few days ago. No groove. True, the Dura-C battery's a snug fit, but I think it doesn't depress the button enough to activate the battery. The PCC works great and I'm glad I bought it.

But even if inserting the battery in the PCC did depress the button enough to turn it on, it's not at all clear to me that this would somehow "run down the battery" or cause any other problem. After all, when the battery's in the PCC it's not as if the battery's connected to an atomizer (or anything else that would drain its juice). It's connected to the PCC, which should charge the battery whether its button is depressed or not.

You must have a bigger hole than me because I do not have to press the button very hard to activate the battery, whereas I have to cram the battery into the PCC's hole with force to get it in, squishing the rubber button.

But even if inserting the battery in the PCC did depress the button enough to turn it on, it's not at all clear to me that this would somehow "run down the battery"

OP is referring to the battery of the PCC, not the Dura battery.

 

[skyward]

the pcc will not give you the 8hr initial charge. also found that giving a 3 to 4 hr charge every now and then helps (ie don't rely on pcc unit exclusively).

 

[HmmphSea]

I seen people say that a typical charge takes one hour (with a wall charger). Is that your experience?
