So which batts should I get for my Chrome V2 VV (that I bought from your site), the 18650 imr panny's on your battery site? Or the 18650 imr Efest on CCV?

Also, at what voltage does the Chrome V2 VV shut off at? That makes difference because the higher mah batts are no better in some instances because if the mah bonus comes in at lower voltages than the shut off, it is just numbers and a higher price tag.

(I really need to get a voltage multimeter :p)

Thanks!

EDIT: Looks like the Efest win out on the capacity at the 3.5v range...

Forgive me if this has been answered recently...

Was wondering if you planned on putting up the CCV VV V2 (Young June) with just the tube, not bundled with the kit. I've been waiting to buy one of these but I can't afford the whole kit.

Thanks!

He had just the tube up there a while back. But it was priced at about $68 dollars, so getting the kit is actually a better deal (I bought it when he only had the tube and 1 battery). I'd suggest to save up because the tube itself is not going to be much less.

Oh yes. I forgot about that. Now I have to save up for the kit because somehow I ruined the threading on the connector. Still works though, so no hurry, but it's scarying me.

Did you ruin the threads on your PV? If so wonders can be done with a short 510 extension and some fine wire. If you like I can send you some instructions posted by another party with bad APV threads.

Just got my pair of Efest IMR18650 2000mAh batteries and my HG-1412W Charger from CCV. Good prices and fast shipping! I should have bought a battery case! Doh!!

There's no English instructions (the entire packaging is in Chinese) for the HG-1412W, so I had to Google a bit but found some translated instructions...

Chinglish Translation of HG1412W Instructions said:
Technical parameters:
* Enter voltage: AC100-240V/47-63Hz, Car Charger DC-12-24V
Static power consumption: less than 0.5W
* Charging current: 1200mA (100-240V current)
* Charging Specification: NiMH / NiCad / Alkaline Charging / iron phosphate lithium / lithium-ion, the four categories. Comprehensive support
Holding different forms of battery, the charging type charger.
* Charge Size: The maximum supported length of 71 mm, 33 mm in diameter, these types of batteries,
Charging method:
View sorting battery, each charge to charge, only one type of batteries such as nickel-metal hydride must be all the nickel-metal hydride battery, the switch is adjusted to the type of battery charging profile.
The switch is divided into four files: one file for NiMH / Ni-Cd battery, two files for alkaline rechargeable batteries, three files for the lithium iron phosphate battery (3.0V lithium battery), 4 stalls for lithium-ion rechargeable battery.
Insert the batteries according to polarity, red light, into the charge, the red light is off, stop the fast charge transferred to the complement of the trickle, due to differences in battery, and some will put out the lights in advance, all the battery indicator goes out, and then together to remove if they continue to charge a few hours better.
Note and Warning: can not be different types of the battery Hunchong must be four of the same type of battery with Hunchong (for example, the four Ni-MH washed with four lithium with red, not two Ni-MH two section lithium Hunchong the different voltage)
The stalls wrong choice may cause battery leakage or explosion
Does not light, the wrong choice may be the battery is fully charged or stalls. Not installed the battery slot lights, battery over-discharge or wrong election stalls.
Battery power differences will lead to the other slot lights ahead of the lamp is off, all filled with with removed (that is, four battery voltage to wait for the same can be washed with, for example, four of them one or two than the other The two energy-saving down, the charger will give a low voltage charging, charge the two sections to four with two voltage about the same time with the red and continue the fight).
Charge the battery hot, stop charging, the battery has been damaged, please do not charge, or it may leak into the explosion.
Alkaline rechargeable especially alkaline rechargeable batteries, such as the use of ordinary alkaline charge, may be leaking at your peril.
Indoor use only, do not use in high temperature / humidity conditions, charging, not upside down and cover.
Stop method: progressive patented technology charge the MaxV control, and each slot is independent display charging /
Fully charged, intelligent stop. Use of patented technology (patent number: 200920025716.1), a comprehensive
Adapt to the 1-4 slot parallel charging. Trickle added that the battery can be unplugged for a long time to wait for the spare.
Battery, battery aging, small capacity battery, defective battery can guarantee full.
* Display: the middle of green power light. 4 lights corresponding to the battery charge indicator. Battery
Charging for a red light, red light is off the battery is full. .

Nice compact charger for the price, contact tab tension springs are squeaky but pretty smooth. Charging a few IMR 18650 2000mah batteries (including the new Efest batts) on it now. Been charging about 2 hours now, and the charger itself is pretty warm but not overly so, temp of the charger has stabilized. Considering the 1200mA charging rate, I'm not surprised it gets warm though. Wish I had a multimeter to check batts off the charger because from the Chinglish translation, it looks like the charger does a trickle charge? Also, I'm not clear if this charger has 4 independent channels or two parallel channels or if all the channels are in parallel???

I just don't want +{___:evil:___]- to happen. Well, probably not with an IMR battery...

If anyone has any further info on this charger's technical specifications and how it charges (CC/CV, etc), that'd be awesome. I've tried Googling it a bit, but nothing anywhere, or on BLF or CPF turned up any info.

That's why I put the switch settings in description on website.

What happened? I had the whole connector come loose and hang by the wire, it's only press fit and I guess I dropped it one time too many, a little two part epoxy and good as new though. Just have to be careful to not use too much or you will block the grounding connection.

Yes, I'd really appreciate that. I was looking to get connectors, mostly 510 to ego so I can keep the ego compatibility, but wasn't sure what adding extra connectors would do, like reduce voltage to the atomizer/cartomizer, or other problems. I'm not much of a tweaker but I guess I can ask my brother who's an engineer. I don't want to break this thing.

Something happened to the threading, so my cartomizers won't thread until they're really deep into the connector. So, I must have done something like strip the threading at the top half. But the cartomizers sits tight once it catches the thread near the bottom of the connector. If that makes sense? So, it's not broken, it still works.

Use any adapter you like but I'd do it soon while you still have threads to hold it in. At this point the only reason for an adapter is to protect whatever threads you have left. It will have no effect on your vaping except to make sure you can continue vaping with that particular PV. :) I'll PM you the repair instructions for when they really get bad tomorrow.
