well, my precious volt arrived today! ordered Sunday am

1st impressions. this is cool in so many ways! as a closet smoker, this helps ALOT


other impressions: I ordered the 24 mg cartos, they sent me 18 mg. Just thought it was weird that they did not even ask me if that was ok. or offer a bonus to make up for that- like some extra cartos or something

watermelon carto- eh. maybe because my taste buds are dead(I can taste food fine), but there is hardly any flavor to this. Just a hint of watermelon. Hopefully the juices I ordered from vapor god will be better. I would not order this again

vaping- good, but I don't get much of a throat hit(as compared to analogs). I think that will be ok for me when I get used to it

and yay- it seems like my batteries are charged so I was able to try it right away

I didn't think Imagine was here as a regular user before the SI threads. She was a new user in May when the first SI thread was created:confused: Did I miss something:confused:

If you are referencing my previous post . . .

Nope - I do not believe you did get it wrong . . . AND that "IS" exactly what I meant :). . . However, from what I read and understand - At first, I believe I read somewhere at the start of the "SI" thread that it wasn't able to be in the section "Suppliers Forum" until some of the "lesser" vendors/suppliers were taken off there . . . Correct???? :confused: Or do I need to actually reference the post/s that I read here and where I got that idea . . . Just let me know . . .:D


EDIT: P.S. To answer "Rave" & "laurae09", now I could be wrong (which I am at times ;) ) however, I believe "Keelalagirl55" was referencing one of my original post (#5728) without quoting me again . . . :)

I was and sorry I didn't quote it....it was a long post;) I just wasn't sure if I missed some of her posts that's all. Oh and hon...the Suppliers forum that was referenced was the one where the suppliers have their own subforum with several different threads (the use of Suppliers Forum in this regard is just generalized and gets confusing cause it's actually "Forum Suppliers" and no one ever calls it that:D)....she has always been in this Suppliers Forum. So...now I know where my confusion came into play...thank you for clarifying that for me;) But I am a bit confused on the "without quoting me again":confused:

Part of previous post deleted for brevity: No - problem at all . . . :) at least for me . . .

As for the words I use and the "again" . . . I said once before, I can make "errors" :facepalm: (many of them, matter of fact) . . . My wording of "Suppliers Forum" vs "Forum Suppliers" is just a mistake of an "OLD" Man mixing this up again (or because of my dyslexia and "turning around words" - which I do have, YEP - I am admitting another flaw :D) . . . Just as it is with my grammar and spelling - I have to re-double check everything :blush: . . . So I will use the same excuse for not deleting the word "again" (I was going to use it somewhere else in the post) before I posted . . . AM I forgiven - "again" for my "faux pas" ? ? ? ? :unsure:


EDIT: P.S. My applogies everyone that this has gotten - SO, :offtopic:
Okay - Now back to "SI" and more FUN :party:

lol Uncle.......gotcha;) Sorry doll, I have my days where I get confused kinda easily....and today is one of them days:laugh: Too much goin on in this head of mine and keepin it all straight makes me dizzy:blink:

No mistake on your wording with the Forum Suppliers....we all do it.....everyone calls it the Suppliers Forum, and it does make it confusing when incidents like this arise:laugh:....hence my confusion;) I thought maybe I missed something and love Imagines posts so I was gonna go read them too;) So anyway...nuttin for me to forgive, but if I came across as harsh or whatnot, I do apologize as well as it was not my intent;) :cry:

Hang on just a sec. We're mixing up apples and oranges. There's a big difference between mAh and mA. Milliamphours is a rating for batteries, it is their maximum current output that can be sustained for one hour. Milliamps is a real measured flow of current.

The way one of these batteries charge, they accept a certain voltage and then accept a flow of current. That current should ramp up pretty quickly to its maximum the battery accepts and then be sustained at that rate until the battery is fully charged.

Unfortunately, just because a battery - now I'm referring to the battery powering the charger, has certain specs, this totally does not mean that it can deliver the spec'd voltage or amps. This is why the common practice is to design in a much more powerful battery than needed, especially when using one battery to charge another.

So in this case, first the specific battery specs should be poured over. And you need to make sure afterwards that battery that shows up is the one you chose. And the internal circuitry should allow for 200mA to pass to the battery under charge. The battery under charge will only accept what it needs, for a Volt 78mm, this will be abt 120mA tops.


That depends on how fast you want the batteries to charge. At 200mAh at ~4.5V a 320mAh battery should take right around 2 hours to charge and a 280mAh would take about 1.75 hours. At 150mAh charging current it's about 2.5 hours for the 78mm and for 65mm about 2.25 hours.

Personally, unless it compromises the battery's design characteristics I like the idea of charging a battery at as fast a rate as it can take without overheating. So, if your batteries can take somewhere near 200mAh for charging, that's what I would shoot for.

Even so... If it has to go lower for some reason, anything under 3 hours charge time for a 78mm battery would do the trick.

awww I am sorry to hear that :(

Was it as bad as this passthrough?

So, my dog somehow managed to get his paws on my brand new pink volt battery. He decided it would be an EXCELLENT chew toy and teethed the thing all up, pulled off the LED cap AND the LED from the inside and bit the thing to shreds.

I was devastated. I picked up my poor pink battery, pressed the manual button one last time to say goodbye and to my great surprise?

....the thing still works.

The volt battery survived a mauling by a dog. Now that's a tough little battery! I'm hesitant to use it due to it being beaten to hell.... and the whole dog slobber thing, though.



(does warranty cover dog hazards?)

This is never done on purpose...it was most likely a packing error.. we have 24mg watermelon in stock. If you like pleae email CS.
I ordered the 24 mg cartos, they sent me 18 mg. Just thought it was weird that they did not even ask me if that was ok. or offer a bonus to mak

Oh my! That's just awful *cough - hilarious *. Did I say that out loud? Some fine steel wool and a little elbow grease would transform that into a shiny, stainless steel passthrough. It'd probably show the teeth marks though ...
