Not sure if my setup is dangerous

[brittianm]

You should get an external charger man. Those internal chargers suck and unevenly charge batteries. They also take for ever. I have a luc 4 by efest and can charge 3 batteries in like an hour and a half. Pretty much everyone will tell you not to use the usb charging unless you have an internal battery. Up front cost of vaping sucks but it gets cheaper unless you also use it as a hobby.

How do I get a hot vape at low watts?

Very simple to do, use 32ga wire instead of 22ga wire. Restrict the airflow to that of a normal cigarette. Restrict the chamber diameter down also. Mix your liquid at a higher nicotine & PG ratio.

Here ya go (with a 14500 battery no less)

@brittianm that's a very nice mod in your avatar I like it alot

Some people like a hot vape, personally I don't lol.

The wismec comes with some kind of basic charger with a usb, i use an adapter plug and just put into the wall. Batteries arrived dead but they have been charging since like 7 hours now and only like 60%

I think I missed it as to which Wismec you got, but does Wismec even claim their mods can do balanced charging?

I find wismec mods actually unbalance the batteries greatly, I once stuck a couple in my Alien after us in my rx2/3 & the batteries were at different levels.
I got a bit wary an put a new set in!

Yes, external charger. I have a nitecore 2 bay, my batteries get charged in about 2 hours, and they charge evenly, as each bay has its own shutoff valve. It's not that expensive, I think it cost me like, 34 bucks at the time.

If I were not using external batteries and using something less powerful, I'd be fine with a USB charger, but on a routine basis, with heavy duty battieres? You can only charge at night (unless you have several mods) and it does take forever, plus I think I'd have nightmares about hooking up my USB to charge my mod, I think that has the possibility of major damage or minor damage (ruining my USB port). It's really worth the inital investment, and my batteries have lasted a long time, so far.

On board chargers dont work properly with removable cells because they aren't specifically designed for the battery.
Cell phones for example, use chargers designed for the exact cell used.
Same with laptops.

These cheap chargers cannot adjust for all the different cells available today.
They can actually damage the cells.

This is why quality chargers cost more than some mods.

The cells should've come near nominal voltage 3.5v - 3.7v, not dead.

A decent quality external charger is always a good idea with multi cell power devices.

 

[Skold]

They should be near to fully charged, they lose a little charge when stored but should be fully charged from dead in 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
I agree with above comments on a good quality charger.

I have the same charger. Have had it for a long time. No complaints at all.

The batteries we use are stored ( before purchase ) near nominal voltage (3.5v - 3.7v), they should arrive near nominal voltage, unless some uninformed vape shop charged them before sending them out.

How quickly they charge depends on depth of discharge & rate of charge.
A cell that is at 2.8v will take considerably longer to charge than one at 3.6v.
.25a charge rate will take much longer to charge than 1a charge rate.

That's right yeah, it's amazing when you compare it to mains electricity of 230v nominal voltage it just sounds like nothing haha.

Yeah but 7 hours?? That's extreme, the only thing I have that takes ages to charge is my evod pro V2. It takes 8 hours so for a 2500mah battery it's frustrating

I bought a nitecore i4 since your guys suggestions. I must admit though vaping really makes me want to start smoking again, I cant deny vaping always has problems. Whether its leaking tanks, battery problems, mod problems, ejuice problems etc. Vaping can be really stressful sometimes tbh and expensive

 

[Topwater Elvis]

Vaping is only as hard & stressful as you make it.

Jumping in way over your head before you're ready makes it hard & stressful.

Thanks man. Its the minikin boost. I love it

Vaping only felt hard and stressful when I was dual using and mainly when I couldn't smoke. I had no clue what I was doing back then and wasted a lot of equipment. Right now the only stress is being a floating parachute, hoping to land with what I need before the FDA tells me what I *need*. I think you will like your nitecore charger a lot.

Most devices that use a USB wall charger are regulated with a current limiting resistor to about 1A charge rate. I usually get about 980ma with an inline USB digital current meter whether it's a phone or an ecig mod.

I charge my Wismec Releaux batteries in a standard charger. It's much faster at 1A. The 1A USB wall charger current is split between the batteries. In a desk charger each battery gets 1A charge rate individually and charge time is reduced proportionately.

I only use lg hg2 and Samsung 30q. They are the bomb.com. lol. I know some guys that vape dual battery mods as high as 180 but 200 is crazy high. Do you enjoy the vape you get off of that ?

Don't forget about the Sony VTC5A. They are great batteries.

I've just never come across them. Or I would rock those no problem
