I wish they made a multi home use one too. But, I make do with 3 PCCs. With all three plugged in, it takes about an hour and a half to charge twelve batts which is all I need for a day trip. With two PCCs it would only be about two and a half hours to charge that many which I've done. I usually watch TV that long in the evening and have them set up right next to the chair I do that in... no biggie.

Why do you need 12 charged batteries for a day trip? I travel alot and have only run the PCC down once - that's only running 2 batteries and one PCC... So I'm curious.

Its just individual preference really but some of my quirky reasons are:

1. I don't know how old any one battery is because they're all mixed up so don't know when they might go caput because I haven't had one go out on me yet.
2. Same goes for the PCCs except I do know when I got those but don't know their life-span.
3. I like the ritual resembling when I carried a pack of smokes.
4. To ensure I won't be caught out without a charged battery... the dread of Type A vapers.... carrying multiple PCCs and batteries loads me down too much. In the case I carry them in they're way lighter.
5. Then there's the juice thing. I hate carrying a bottle of it or filling away from home. If I'm gonna carry multiple filled tanks and have enough batteries, I might as well carry those too saving assembly.
6. If one of my tanks does leak, they're all in a closed up case so nothing gets on me or my PCC.
7. Which brings me to last (I think)... leaks... Joye says not to put the battery in the PCC in reverse, which I had been doing, as it may cause leaks... so when thinking about where I could carry two plus an empty PCC... I just said heck with it... I'm going to carry as many charged ones as is comfortable.

I'm sure I had other reasons back when I decided to do it this way but I can't remember them now. Now you have some insight into Type As. :facepalm:

Edit: Oh, I'm obviously a heavy vaper.

Honestly...it sounds like you need to upgrade to a "workhorse" rig instead of a cigalike...those cigalikes have 180mAh in them, some of the bigger units (yeah they are HUGE) have 10x that or more!

I bought a slightly larger cigalike setup for my wife they are 510-X and each one has 400mAh and I tested them and ran they really hard and they lasted 4-6 hours till they were exhausted...but I have an external charger as well not a PCC

Here are some 510-X batteries next to an eGo USB bypass setup (equivalent to a 900mAh eGo battery)

Thanks. Nice setups. Yeh, I use Ego C upgrades and Ego CC clearos at home (same atty so that's nice) but after getting caught out without (shudder) and trying an Njoy, I decided to down scale. I really enjoy the Eroll form factor. I vape with my Egos at home taking my Eroll outside when I used to smoke so it feels like I'm going outside for breaks just like I used to. Actually, using the eroll is really what got me away from smokes as size and drip tip of the Ego just never replaced that "feel" for me. The Eroll, with my particular tobacco juices, also simulates smoking the best.

yeah, I have often thought of just carrying a "pack" of erolls.
