Figure about 3 hours to charge them.

Three hour to charge? Are you talking about the 14500 batteries that you provide? I have yet to wait more than an hour for a battery to charge.
I usually change the battery out, and charge the used-up one in the charger that you sent. I was shocked the first time, figuring that maybe I was mistaken about it being "empty", but they've all been just about the same ~50 minutes to charge, after using them til they don't fire the atty any more.
With four batteries in rotation, they are each being used and recharged about once every three to four days.

Cool, first time to try the multi quote. How easy. Thanks Missy, for the tip over on the KBV thread
First of all, I estimate conservatively, and also, that is while charging two discharged batteries at once. Charging only one at a time is half the time, or about an hour, maybe a tiny bit more, but never put a stop watch on it.

I'm really loving my 3.7 box mod. I've been using it every day. It works amazing with an adaptor and my lr ego-t attys.

Glad to hear you are having good luck with the ego t system.


Thank you Steve! :)

Come on Steve! Don't set limits on yourself. You could solder a tiny inline 1amp fuse in the area where the LED resistor is easily. Do a little test on one using an almost discharged and a charged battery with that fuse wired in the parallel circuit, I'll bet you a cup of coffee that fuse will blow. It certainly would if one cell shorted or was completely discharged enough to create potentially damaging current exchange. Just an opinion of course, trying to help.

I sure appreciate your info Rob. Would use the type of fuse holder to hold a fuse like found in my car, or do they make tinier inline fuses. I guess I would need to include a couple of extra fuses with each kit, cheap enough for sure. I could easily build one and try it out. I maybe am being a little paranoid, because the batteries i use are protected so I am thinking that the protection circuit would kick in before anything dangerous happens, but there is always that chance that this could happen on a battery which has a protection circuit failure (outside chance, but nevertheless there is a chance)

It would be difficult in this case to replicate the condition, as I would need a battery without the protection circuit to try it. I will give it a go. I could also tell everyone that buys one to get a multimeter and meter the batteries when they come of the charger. I usually do, because I like to make sure my batteries are remaining close in charge. once they were not, so i charged the little lower one until the light turned green, and they were matched again.

I have to learn how to do the multi-quote thing, that's cool! Hey Steve, check out the pico fuse here, it's tiny and could be soldered into your circuit board (Not user replaceable), you could offer to fix them for minimal cost if they ever failed (at least at first to qualify the method, then add user replaceable fuse). Glad you're thinking about it!

Here's a kick-... Foxy Box if I ever saw one! It's sporting a 3.5ml 2.8 ohm cartomizer from nHaler. So far I'm liking this combo! It holds more than the GoGo and puts out plenty of vapor on this mod with no foul taste. I'll report later how I like this and the new 2.0ohm dual coils I just got in. The other picture shows the friends that the 5v Foxy has...

Oh, you will see a lite symbol to the far right, just drag over it and it will say multivquote. Click it and then place a check mark next to each post you want to quote and then hit reply
Hey! It works! Thanks Steve, that was easy.

Thanks for the link rob. I will check it out after I take the fam out to their Japanese favorite, a place where they chop chop and cook right at the table. The kids love the place
We have a sushi place up the street that does that as well but we haven't tried that option, sounds like fun though!

Nice video Mage. I ordered the set and they arrived yesterday. I did test the 3.7 to make sure it worked, but I can't put the 5v down. Just a little over 6 hours on the 5v now and I'm very impressed. I have some BRB Casablanca that was nice on the Riva, but is fantastic on 5v. Like you, I'm a fan of Boba's Bounty and it got better on 5v.

I'm looking forward to trying KBV Rice Crispy Treats and Special K at 5v. They have been ready for over a week, but neither one made my favorite list. They might now, it they come alive like the Casablanca did. I've been wanting to try a coffee flavor and Caramel Cappuccino Steve sent is great! I'll be ordering a big bottle of that one.

I'm playing golf tomorrow and wanted to take the 3.7 to check battery life, but that may have to wait. I just took the Boba's carto off the 5v and put on the Riva for a couple hits and big difference! Much nicer at 5v. Maybe a good battery test on both might have to wait, since I'm chain vaping. Went through a carto of Boba's in about 3 hours and a carto usually lasts me most of the day. Maybe go through more juice on 5v? I'll check back with a battery test when I can resume normal vaping.

Great review! OMG wait until you try the rice Crispy Treat. delish. I found on day two the Bobas tasted like it was getting to warm. Levitas and High, I would really love to hear what you find after 2 or 3 days in the same carto. Maybe I had a carto that was running too hot.

I am way too cheap to buy a vari device just yet. I am hoping higher ohm cartos and attys will become commonplace as I find certain juices i love, and seem to love the most dont hold up to high voltage as well.

Your thoughts?
