Opinions between the big/little chucks & the Spade?

[fatalis]

Hi,
I've narrowed it down to either a Spade mod or a big or little Chuck... I would appreciate any thoughts or opinions on both? Thanks!

i use a big chuck, so i can't compare with others. using 18650's @2600mah i can go 2 plus days on a single charge!! and never once had a battery go dead any quicker!!. it won't let ya down. it is about the size of a cigar,not a problem for me! i only use the 18650's @3.7v i cannot speak for useage at @ 6v.

Get a big chuck but start at 3.7V then graduate to 6V

The Spade only uses 10440 cells, so it won't last all day on a single cell (unlike those big-... 18650 Chuck monsters). You'll need to carry another one or two cells in your purse/handbag if you get the VP Spade.

That said, it is a beautiful PV, lovely to vape and the build, fit, finish and asthetics are absolutely wonderful...it's a classy little piece of kit.

I'm waiting on my big Chuck, I doubt I'll do any 6V vapeing. I don't want to change a battery every four hours so the spade wouldn't work for me.The Chucks are well made and will last.

I'd go with a Lil Chuck... Uses 16340 batt, so kinda inbetween the 10440 and 18650... Ehhh, but then you'd miss out on 6v, so go with a big Chuck

From reading up on the use of cr123's double stack @ 6v on a chuck,there's a learning curve,in that you have to get on and off the manuel switch rather quickly or risk poping an atty!! but even using 18650's @3.7v you get a much warmer vape than a stock(oem)battery!!!

Ok, i have officially used an 18650 in my big chuck, and I can say, i dont know if I will EVER use anything else! it is absolutely amazing!

Here's a question. When using the 18650's or cr123's or 16340, how many charges do you get off of those batteries before you have to toss them?

i would expect many charges,but they are so much cheaper than stock e-cig batteries,i just keep 4 in rotation!!!

don't you have to keep unscrewing the atty with a chuck to stop it firing on its own and burning out the atty when its being carried?

The chuck doesnt fire on its own, it's manual =]

I guess if its in your pocket and gets activated, perhaps then it might start burning the atty, but it shouldnt be a problem.

nope i don't unscrew atty, i just put it in a holster on my belt and it goes every where i go!!

 

[MHR7331]

Dual Chucks at 6V = win

 

[andrewemblow]

nope i don't unscrew atty, i just put it in a holster on my belt and it goes every where i go!!

Thanks for that so it's not really the device to just toss in a bag or pocket then you need a holster or carrier case unless you strip it down.

the reason i asked is because of the big sticky out radio shack type button i just wondered how people got on with these as I'm planning on making a fog log

Cheers Andy

Big Chuck or Little Chuck will be the last device you need to buy..

The Chuck very well might not be the deviece of choice for all!! However it is what it is! and thats what sets it apart from all others! Even the creator of the Chuck "Mr Jeffakamax" has stated just backoff atty a 1/4 turn and it will not fire,so you do not have to take atty off the unit!!! good luck with the Andy Fog Log hope er happy wiff it!!
