SOoooo ... Just now, I charged an 18350 in Bay 1 of the Zanflare C4 ... AND ... the issues with Bay 3 went away and NOW everything "appears" to work normally in Bay 3 and I can't replicate the problem ... not right now anyway. I won't be shocked when the problem returns. NOT very reliable.

EDIT: I moved the fully charged 18350 over to Bay 3. The Zanflare C4 functioned normally and the display didn't flash when I removed the battery from Bay 3. Weird ... and not really in a good way.

I have to say I really like my nitecore 2 bay, it is slow, steady and while it doesn't provider anywhere near the amount of information my other charger does, it DOES tell me a piece of KEY information-- my batteries are charged.

I totally understand the desire for a charger that can "do more" but that ALWAYS risks failure in my opinion. I hope you get it warrantied and the next one is better.

I too like to keep it simple. "Charged" is good ... when done fully and properly. Until this issue popped up out of the blue with bay 3 (and now has gone away) the Zanflare performed full and proper charging better than my xtar VC2+. I've lost a bit of that confidence and can't recommend the Zanflare.

Reading all these posts, I hope my batteries won't need charged for a while.

@GeekyGeezer ... right on
Wish there was a charger made in the USA or Germany. At least something other than crap chargers.

EDIT: ... and I wonder which charger Mooch has for personal use / testing?

Though he's said the Patreon donations allowed him to buy the chargers and extra things needed for testing, he's never mentioned his personal choice. With the amount of battery equipment he already had, I would believe that he is charging with something on a whole different level than the mass market stuff we have access to.

This is why out sourcing call centers is such a bad idea. "I got other patients in the world," she said.

I am very glad you are okay.

I do got problems, 99 of um. I got 99 problems but a coil ain't one.

EVEN as it happened though I was like "Well, it made it this far, it's probably FINE."

My issues are nothing like not being able to BREATHE and I sincerely hope Steel fixies it for you ASAP even if he has to go on a little trip and do some BITING.

Anna

Thank you, Anna.
I don't mean to say my problem is special. It's not a contest and I hope I didn't come across that way. My Aunt says everybody's problem is still a problem for them. Sometimes a little perspective goes a long way. I'm a, "glass is half full" kind of guy. I mean, look, I'm 52. I made it to 52! I can still walk! Sure I have to drag a damn tube around the house and when I leave I have to drag these damn tanks but I can walk. I'm not in a wheel chair. There are children with cancer that will never live to see 12... I have a kick ... stereo and can rock until my ears bleed. I live in a 1875 house on 4 lots that is 304 sq. ft. shy of a mansion.
Btw, cost to clean up bat feces in attic is estimated at $1583.08. The guy said the amount of feces (we can still easily walk around up there, it's everywhere but not completely covered) is actually not that bad. The majority of the cost comes from replacing the insulation.
Back in the day, I used to point out to my grandmother how others were worse off than her and she would get so mad and bark at me, "Don't tell me someone is worse off than me, THAT doesn't me feel any better!" Lol
Talked to O2 service manager today. He said they would order a brand new one and have it to me possibly by Tuesday. He said the one I had was still under warranty and would have to go back to the manufacturer. He was concerned I could make until then. I told him I would just have to take my time, stop and breathe. If I have to exert, I have tanks I haven't used yet.
Steel - get this. When Jackie goes to work, if I'm sleeping, she puts Steel in his crate in case someone stops by and rings the doorbell I don't have to deal with trying to get him in his crate before answering the door. Actually, I just wouldn't answer the door. Now I can. We live in a town where people don't call first even though everyone has a damn cell phone. Back in the day, that's why I got one in the first so I wouldn't have to stop at a pay phone to call first if I was out and about and decided to go visit someone.
Anyway, Jackie and Steel were upstairs when she put her work clothes on. That dog knew she was going to work by her clothes and when she came down the stairs, Steel went in his crate ahead of her and laid down. We couldn't believe it!
When I pray tonight, I'm going to ask the Lord if Steel (and Bubba) can be with me in Heaven.

Yeah, ya know, anywhere but China, right? Seriously. Everything you buy made in China, $.02 of every dollar goes to their military.
There are game reviewers on YouTube crying about how much the cost of gaming consoles are going to go up. Weh, weh!
The new Xbox and PlayStation are due out @ Nov. 2020 Xbox is supposed to cost $599 or even possibly $699. The tariff would raise that another $149.75 or $174.75 Oh well! I plan on getting one 6 months after release (to let the public work the bugs out). If I have to pay it, I guess I have to pay it or not get one! Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo sent the US government some 7 page letter explaining what the tariffs will do to their business. WEH, WEH! There is one real easy solution: DON'T MAKE 'EM IN CHINA!

EDIT: Yes, I know, if not made in China the price will probably increase due to increased labor cost but I know where I'd rather have my money go...

 

[stols001]

Nah, you did not come across as competitive at all. No worries on my end I just hope you feel BETTER.

OMG OMG OMG YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!! I actually got off my rear and like, mixed 7 one shots that came out of my flavors BUT GUESS WHAT

One box was from Crème de Vape and it contained.... My Dani 21700 titan grey mod!!!!! I LOVE it so much! I actually put my NS2 on it which might seem like an odd choice but it looks lovely AND it vapes great. I like the handfeel so much better, and with that mesh coil in there... I just wanted to try it out because I was all fried from mixing but it is FANTASTIC. I'm super impressed.

I figured out enough of the um, way it worked to change my power to where it needs to be. I should take a pic, really I just suck at them so much.

I have to rebuild/coil etc at least 3 or 4 tanks but that is coming after yoga but WOW DANI SO LOVELY.

Sunday night in the Saloon...

 

[stols001]

I should eat early. I should go to bed early. It's my first day back full time tomorrow. Later (shortly LOL) and have lovely evenings.

Man, Grey's Anatomy is getting BORING. The characters all suck.

Kid yelling stuff outside yay!

Also, no more roaches but I have a CRICKET now. What the heck. Shouldn't whatever kills roaches kill crickets.

I hate them. I hate the horrifying noises they make, not outside where they're being all AS THEY SHOULD but I hate when one is all LOUD near my sleep and I'm like "If ONLY I COULD FIND YOU YOU WOULD BE DEAD."

Srsly though roach problem so immensely improved. Thank the goddess.

And by that I mean Mother Earth who for some reason birthed those terrible creatures. l am sure, like every other bug I hate, they have a purpose. I just don't know what it is.

I hate cricket noise in the house, and there's something about that noise that is just impossible to track down. It just comes from everywhere.

 

[Katdarling]

We name them. (The cricks.) Each one is Fernando.

I have no klue why, but that's what we do.

 

[Ceejay0875]

My cat eats them.

 

[Nermal]

My cat eats them.

My cat does not eat bugs. He watches them. If they don't move, or move too slowly, he will kind of nudge them along with a paw. So much for the apex predator.

Your cat must be Garfield.

 

[Hobbs]

Crickets drive me nuts if they're in the house. On the other hand cricket sounds outside a window remind me of quiet summer nights. We didn't have AC when I was a kid growing up in rural Alabama. Gets dang hot in the summer and drifting away to night sounds with the windows wide open is a fond memory.

Prolly why I don't mind the tinnitus I have. Too many booms and bangs, pump rooms and flight decks during a Naval career. I carry the sounds of crickets with me wherever I go. Sometimes they're louder than other times but never really bothers me, nor do I even think about it. Certain tones I can't hear at all though.

 

[Nermal]

Oh, you are so close. Nermal (the cat) was Garfield's young, smart mouthed nephew.

 

[Ceejay0875]

Oops. Sorry. Thought Nermal was you! Probably good your cat's NOT Garfield then, because he wouldn't like you and he'd keep trying to mail you to Abu Dhabi.
