My istick 40w TC will draw 2 amps if I use my tablet charger, didn't realize it at first but went to pick it up and it wasn't really hot just very very warm, and said it was fully charged but it wasn't, safe to say it doesn't do that with 1amp- chargers...
You were so right. I used a little less cotton and now using my coil at 40 watts and enjoying the he'll out of it!
Thanks for explaining it for my simple mind to understand. You are talking about simple wall \USB chargers correct?A bit of electronics knowledge doesn't hurt.
The power supplies on the market are VOLTAGE PSUs. This means that their output VOLTAGE is regulated, not the output CURRENT. (Let's not start a discussion about the quality of these PSUs, i.e. how stable the output is.)
A 5 V PSU will provide 5 V all the eay to its maximum current rating; however, the current drawn from it depends entirely on the load. This means, for example, that a PSU that can deliver 2.1 A will only deliver 1 A to a load that draws 1 A, but it is entirely possible for some loads (such as the iPads) to "block" charging if the PSU cannot deliver the expected current (2.1 A in their case).
As for the units, mA and A are for the current while mAh and Ah are fot the electric charge (1 As = 1 Coulomb, but Ah and mAh are more convenient). So, a charger delivers A (or mA) and a battery stores Ah or mAh.
Basically I'm talking about all power supplies for general use (e.g. computer PSUs, wall "chargers", even the Diesel generators). The principle is that the PSU internals are measuring the output VOLTAGE and react to its variation. The computer PSUs work on the same principle (the old models used to monitor only the +5 V bar; the expensive ones have dedicated circuitry for each output voltage).The leaking seems to be hit or miss or quite possibly user error. I couldn't get mine to leak if I tried. Laying sideways,over priming, light wicking in the RBA, or hot to cold transitions it still wont leak.
I have this unit in white....its awesome!!!!!! Takes an 18650 battery and the cover is magnetic, tank uses vertical occ coils, so, yummy warm vapes full of flavor. Kangertech has just unveiled its nano version as well that comes in pink, purple, and black which I preordered today for only 56.00. The finish is baked on, and I haven't had a problem yet, even though I tote it around in the factory I work in.
Yeah, I've owned one for a couple months now.
Is a fine mod and tank. Does need a springloaded pin though, as I have to pry the pin up when using other tanks (the subtank depressed the pin deep and it doesn't recover to contact some of my other tanks).
