Yep, I got it to. .......Thanks for the input.
Speaking of stockpiling against the ANTZ, have you received your canned response today from the White House? Sucks.
I just had to share. If you need a laugh, watch this: Cat vs Printer - The Translation - YouTube
I've not found anyway to take apart a Volt battery without destroying it because the threaded end is both press-fit and glued into place and that's the end that all the guts slide out of as one unit. So, if one of the wires broke inside at the threaded end, you cannot get to it. Or if one of the wires at the little chip end broke off, there's no way to pull it out far enough to solder it back on either.
Here's how the connections go inside of the battery. The "End Chip" as you call it, has both the tiny airflow-activated switch and has the LED on its little circuit board. When you suck in, the air passes through a tiny hole on this circuit board, activating the switch, and that switch turns on its LED and also completes the circuit to the positive center post way up at the threaded connector where the cartomizer screws on (+Threads). The negative side of the battery is soldered to the outside negative part of the threaded connector (-Threads). Here's my best crude attempt to give you a visual:
End chip <----------+ BATTERY- -------> -Threads, outside part of connector
|LED
V
----------------------------------------> +Threads, center post of connector
-------AIR FLOW -----------------------------------------------> CARTOMIZER -------> Vapor
i'm lost as to what most of this means.....but it made me giggle!!!My conclusion: The Arduino-powered microcontroller sensor array I just soldered together and deployed is easier to build and repair than a Volt battery.
Also, where can one find a good dual-voltage (120v-240v) soldering iron? All the good ones I've seen are around $100 and either 120v or 220v/240v but not both. To swap them over you have to change out the internal transformer which requires...a soldering iron. So I would need a soldering iron for my soldering iron. Sigh.
Unfourtanyley I found this forum after I bought my 1st ecig. I can be a little bit of of impulse buyer sometimes. However, I am still extremely happy with my descicion on my 1st ecig. I beleieve I got a good deal, and had a good expierence with my 1st order with SI. Shipping was quick. Got my order in 2-3 days. Honestly I don't understand why anyone would pay extra for the "Express Shipping" option. I paid $3.01 for the standard shipping, and got my order in just a few days.Welcome KindHead.
Volt batteries are KR808D-1 threading. 510 cartos would not be compatible.

So I'm looking at these cartos from healthcabin.net. They say 808 and not 808D. Are the 808 & 808D compatible parts? I thought I read somewhere that the horizontal coil cartos were better, because they didn't singe/burn as easily? I'm still trying to consume all this info. I should have research all of this before buying my first PV. In the mean time, I'm going to go head and grab some blanks with my juice order from SI.

I had a problem recently with points being deducted but no reduction in final price. The CSR at SI fixed this and redeposited my "spent" points. But then I was not awarded points for what I spent and was advised that, because I used a discount code, that points would not be awarded. Is that correct?
Is there a Blog with all the tips of the trade? For instance, which tanks, cartos, etc work on the Volt. How to clean the Volt battery. How to do everything, from Bling to meter reading.
(there's a lot of tips in this thread, but when it's my turn to use that tip, I can't find it lol).
Those should work. Wow, what a price. Make sure you get the 2.6 ohm and not the 2.0. They'd chew your batteries up and spit them out.
On a lighter note: Are those gold batteries getting any closer to the shelves Imagine? My cart is waiting for them. *want*
