Maximum battery life can be prolonged by NOT running the battery all the way down between charges. I also charge them in pairs and keep them in the same pairs. I'm using 8-18350's in rotation and so far they've lasted 6 months with no failures or other issues.

Bac....Thanks for the info - I'll just change the battery every day. If I only use one, should I wait till there's two of them to get charged or is it o.k. to charge just the one? My charger is a Trustfire that takes two....

Anyone interested in a co-op for Kanker T-3's and extra atty heads there is one in the planning stage but is filling real quick. 2.50 for T-3 and .75 for extra heads is the approximate cost but might change a little up or down.. They are selling for an average of 6-7.00 and 2.50 to 3.00 for spare atty replacements.
That is less than half price. Minimum order is five.

Also moishesmom make sure you get rechargeable protected!

They are....I got Trustfire 14500 Li-ion protected. All these batteries scare the heck out of me, however, I had a joyetech passthru burn up while connected to my pc soooooo I guess it's just the nature of these beasts & treat them all with respect.

Good Morning Friends, mm..I charge in pairs because I read it somewhere and I couldn't think of any reason not to. I try to remember to not leave my charger unattended when charging.

That comment about the pass thru burning got my attention. I never considered that before. I am going to do a safety survey this AM and change some things.

Ii filled out an interest order for the T3 coop. Sounds like a real deal. Do we get contacted when it goes live??

Hey, at least Gordon was able to solve the mystery. Don't eat too much grass. All that roughage might give you another problem. Some people swear by the health benefits of wheat grass juice. I've had some - disgusting! Have some lemonade instead.

Smart move. Even with the best chargers we keep an eye on what's charging and unplug it as soon as we notice it's done. We'd never leave the house or go to bed if there was a battery charging.

Keep in mind that I don't constantly vape like I did when I first started.



That is good to know, lol. I have def reduced nic level but have found that I still seem to need nicotine in my system. Maybe it is work related and will not be the same when I retire. ? This is so much better than 46+ years of nasties but my goal is to quit all of this... e v e n t u a l l y!

Good Morning all. Heard about this thread so I thought I'd check it out... Whoa ! Too much info here for this ol' Trucker to digest at once. Maybe I'll just begin reading like a novel.... Would like to ask 2 questions- 1) Just ordered 2 twists and 2 T-3s. First VV and first Clearo's. What should I expect as compared to regular eGo's and a REO mini ? 2) Trying out vendor named AltCig- Great Flavor and Vapor but really lights up my allergies. Any thoughts on that ? Glad I finally found the thread.....

And that's why I never got into using a passthru plugged into my 'puter. I never trusted it, to not maybe damage the computer if something went wrong.

You should be Ok to charger 1 at a time. And it might even charge a bit faster when only charging one. Most chargers actaully alternate the charge from 1 batt to the other during the charge cycle when 2 are charging at the same time.

Welcome MPage. I thought the same thing when I first started vaping, but I find that I enjoy it so much that I don't know if I'll ever stop and I don't think it's a bad thing. So many flavors to try and it's become like a hobby.

Welcome PapawBrett. Glad you stopped by. Yep, there's a lot of info out there, but it's nice to have a lot of choices. Everyone finds their own sweet spot. People can have allergic reactions to almost anything so I guess you're going to have to do a trial and error to find out what bothers you. Could be something in the juice or even the PG. Eliminate one thing at a time and see if the allergies improve.

I don't know anything about the Reo, but I'm sure someone here can speak to that.

Love my lttle REO mini. I drive a Flat-Bed Tractor Trailer for a living. Tarping, strapping, chaining, hauling- lot of work involved. And everything takes a beating on a Truck. Whan I asked for a 'rough service' PV, Classwife suggested the Mini. I've dropped it in the floorboards and down the runningboards, even accidently drop-kicked it off the trailer once. Just picked it up, wiped it off and kept on vaping. The bottom feed concept saves me from having to drip while driving 80000 lbs at 70 mph. My mini will remain my at work PV, but since everyone speaks so highly of the VV features, I thought I'd try the Twist and T3 at home. Hope when they come in I'll be as pleased.

After the passthru mishap..I bought a Lipo-Safe sac for all my charging, even the Trustfire; I watch it like a hawk & as soon as I see green - it's pulled. I don' know how many times I've read where people charge theirs when they go to sleep...I've tried to warn them....

Good morning MPage & Papaw - glad you made you're way here. Always nice to meet up w/ new folks & hear their background and stories.

Mpage - sounds like you've got a good start on reaching your goal. And def a big YEP - vapin' sure beats the h3ll out of those nasties.

Papaw - I've used atty/carts, carto's, carto/tanks, Vivi Nova's and rebuildable geny's - but never tried bottom feeders. I've heard nothing but good things about the REO line. You're tender lovin' care of yours just backs up the good reputation of the REO.

LOL ! It's not like I do this things on purpose, but loading and unloading Flat-beds often requires a lot of work. I have learned to leave my REO on the dash when I'm on and about the trailer .
