Question About TV's eGo Wall Charger

[radicaljd]

Does TV's eGo Ego wall charger have a sticker showing "110-250v" ?

I have the original charger I got with my Joye eGo kit, which says 110-250v. I was wondering if TV's generic wall charger works with the same voltage range.

The reason I ask is, I will be going on a 3-week trip to the Philippines next month. I ordered a few extra eGo batteries for the loooong plane flight, and I don't want to be stuck without my PV when I am in the jungles of Mindanao, so I need an extra charger just in case.

The wall sockets in the Philippines work with the same plug as the US, but are 240 volts. I'm sure my Joye charger will work, but what about the TV version?

Mine says 100-240v, so pretty close.

I managed to melt mine abroad - but it wasn't TVs charger - the culprit was my AC/USB adapter that I got from elsewhere and subsequently did the exact same thing to my cignot charger (this was how I knew where to pin the blame! lol). So make sure that the Ac/USB is compliant to any local variations in power output as mine wasn't.

My TV adapter says 100-240v as well.

Thanks folks! Hopefully my charger won't melt. I'd hate to be forced to revert to tobacco when I'm in the Philippines, especially the horrid cigs available there locally.

This is my experience with a Tasty Vapor wall charger-

My first ego was also one of those Tasty Vapor knockoffs - which I bought with the knockoff ego charger and the wall charger adapter. I then bought 2 Joye ego batteries separately (not in kits) because I have never see the green or blue ones in kits.

After a month one of my Tasty Vapor batteries died around the same time my Tasty Vapor ego charger would ltd would stay green and would not charge - I thought the 2 were and connected and ordered an ego charger. After a week of living off my old npros the new ego charger came - and it worked but kept flicking to green as it charged (which my tasty vapor charger had done also - so I did not think much about it.

I happened to plug my ego charger into my laptop one day to charge instead of the Tasty Vapor wall charger adapter - and noticed the ltd held a steady red instead of flicking to green - I dug up my old Tasty Vapor charger and plugged it into my laptop and it worked fine also. I then realized that all along it was the (greatly underpowered) tasty vapor wall adapter that was the main problem - not my new or old charger.

I got a much better wall charger at Mad Vapes - it was almost $10 but my 5V passthrough will run on it - while even my rn4081 passthrough would not work with the Tasty Vapor one. If I was going somewhere I had to depend on my hardware - I would not trust it.
