Questions about Chuck

[JeannieB360]

in your guy's personal opinions is the chuck the best mod you can get in regards to overall performance??

Since you're asking the question in the Thag Built / The Chuck forum, don't be at all surprised if everyone here answers 'YES!"

Anyone on the ECF, though, could vote in the recent VAPY awards, and The Chuck was the winner in both the 3.7v and 6v Best Commercial mod category.

My personal answer is YES!!! - I own four other types of mods and I've had problems with each of them.

Only one of those other mods would I consider purchasing again, and that's a laser-pointer mod that I like for its tiny size, but it seems to turn itself on even without the button pressed - so I need to partially unscrew the atomizer if I set it down even for a few minutes, and need to unscrew the battery cap if I'm going to set it down for 'a while' or it will exhaust the battery.

Before I bought a mod I read all the forums, all the reviews, and looked intensely at the "looks" of each device.

From what I gathered, the Chuck or Little Chuck were the way to go. I ordered two Little Chucks, one for me and one for my wife. I figured both of us having the same device would make battery issues easier to deal with.

And I was right! Little Chucks are awesome! The build quality CANNOT be overstated. The weight-to-size ratio is perfect--great "heft" yet totally portable. When you consider that PLUS you get custom graphics if you want, why buy anything else?

I use the 18350 batteries, and I get 17hrs 14 minutes on one charge!

ANother great things is while you wait for (and agonize) your Chuck to be born, you can join all the other sufferers/owners in the "How To Spend A Saturday" thread and let the nuttiness take the edge off! That thread is as addictive as vaping with a Chuck...

with regarding voltage how do i change the voltage from 3.7 to 5. to 6 and what parts do i need to buy and were can i find them. i want to be able to vape at 3.7 and high voltage THANKS

The big Chuck vapes at 3.7v with 18650 3.7v batteries and to get 6v you use 2 cr123 3v batteries.

As far as I know, it doesn't do 5v. From what I have heard, the HV atties will drop the voltage 1-2 volts. Maybe that will get it down to 5v.

I read that too on a (unnamed) supplier's sight, and being in the electronics field it made me cringe a little. I'm not sure how they even came up with that claim. It's just wrong and misleading.
All attys drop the full voltage applied across them. It's basic ohms law. The only way they could drop 1-2 volts is if the batteries are 1-2 volts.
The HV attys don't have an extra resistor crammed into them to 'drop' voltage. They are just higher ohm attys than stock attys. This will keep them from blowing as easily, but only because they don't allow as much current to pass through them.

Don't get me wrong the HV attys do serve a needed function, but the claim being made is inaccurate.

I think I'll just ask how they came up with that claim over on that supplier's forum. I'm curious what kind of answer they will come up with. (unless of course the thread just gets deleted)

LOL, well to be clear, I was not making an educated claim by any means. I was just stating the claims of the un-named supplier.

I am no expert in electronic equipment either, I just know if I push a button and it works...all is good. If it doesn't work, I need to get it repaired. So I assumed (yes, I know what happens when you dissect that word ) since the supplier claimed it, that it was true.

Good idea asking the supplier, I can't wait to see the response.
