ok so I posted a new topic but I'll ask here...
I need a good, somewhat cheap (though at this point I may splurge to get a better one) charger that can handle most battery types

the one I have is good but the 20700 won't fit in it and the 21700 barely fit, I couldn't tell you anything about it it's in chinese I think I bought it off of fasttech years ago and it's good...has a switch to switch between 3.6 and 4.2 and is an actual plug in not usb...takes about 6 hours to charge 2x 3000mah 18650s

the other one I have takes daysssssssss to charge batteries, LiitoKala Lii-402, you're supposed to be able to switch between 500ma, 700ma, 1000ma, and 2000ma but everytime that I try it just reverts to 500ma...and it's usb plug in not an actual plug

I have another one but it's crap, it was a gift from a contest MXJO....don't know if it itself is crap or I got a defective one but it only works half the time and it seems to be cheaply made....I really should just throw it away...

I would like a 4 bay charger but a 2 bay is fine
that can handle most battery sizes and aa/aaa as well would be nice

I wish I had my grandfathers stash...growing up he had a ton of rechargeable batteries and chargers out in the garage...looking back on it, which for the 80ies that was extremely impressive

This is the charger I purchased when I started using 21700 batteries recently. It also charged 18650's and 20700.

Got my missing MF flavors and will mix up their sfts, plus those for the three bonus flavors, in a moment.

In other news, I learned today, even at only 0.3%, cactus imparts a taste I do not like one little bit. I am sad about this. I've disliked the flavor in other mixes, but it was at a higher percentage in those, and I hoped that such a tiny bit of it would not bother me. But it does, so I guess I will not be able to take advantage of its legendary moistening effect.

Rats.

    I have two of these and really like them. I had a nitecore charger and hated it. It was too complicated and didn’t work like the instructions said. This one will charge 21700.

    Every time I have used it I get sensations of gummy, stringy aloe in my mouth... It's a no go for me too.

    Did I miss anything exciting over the last couple of days?
    Yes! I finally found a mask my elderly MIL likes! (Score one for moi). Cat is allergic to her food, and will only get wet food now (yes, that’s her you hear in the background doing a happy dance) lol. On, and I changed the coil in one of my sceptres finally.

    On the mixing front... (@Letitia I think you asked???)... the VTA frozen pineapple yogurt one shot is not a one shot for me. It needs more yogurt and another pineapple to round out the fruit. That aside, I have it would be a good base for a pina colada. That’s really more what it tastes like to me, a virgin pina colada.

    My workday is done. :banana: Whew what a busy week. It pays the bills I reckon. I did find time today to sit outside in the sun for a few minutes. Such beautiful weather. Son has been at school all day. I love him, but it sure is nice to have time to myself. :)

    Nice looking mod @hittman . I’m glad you were able to complete your collection. :thumbs: No vapemail here. I may order two more rtas and more nic during a sale but I’m not sure if I really need anything. I have a feeling I’ll vape this entire 30 ml bottle today so I’ll probably pick up more nic just in case. I think this mesh just drinks up the juice.

    To handle single USB charging I've used Xtar AC Wall Adapter 2100mA
    To handle many USB changing ports I've used Xtar U1 Six-U 45W 6-Port USB Charger Hub (2.4 A per port)
    To handle 500ma battery charging 2 slot I'm using for 18650 & 21700 is Xtar VC2
    To handle 2000ma battery charging 4 slot I'm using for 18650, 21700 is NITECORE Digicharger D4
    (the D4 is AC connected not USB and will automatically charge at 2A but is slot dependent and also has the ability to change charge rate from high to low depending on number of batteries being changed)
    Some of the newer charges for Xtar & Nitecore also have better change selection(s) & Internal resistance testing, etc.
    RTD is where I get my chargers & batteries.
    Good Luck with your choices.

    That's it! I don't get any texture, but the taste reminds me of the aloe juice I bought some years ago that ended up poured onto the compost pile.

    what can happen if you don't listen to the doctors/scientist to take the proper precautions, especially to wear a face covering, stay socially distant, and without fail wash your hands.

    The scientists didn't help much, especially in the early stages. I remember all (most of them) proclaiming on TV, as late as in March, that masks are not recommended and can even be dangerous. :facepalm: Dr. Fauci, dr. Adams (surgeon general), dr. Gupta (CNN), others... I also remember distinctly CDC botching the early tests, which set us back for weeks if not months in the fight against Covid-19. Not to mention our politicians on both sides who made everything political from the very start.

    I'm not trying to defend Trump and his hubris and bad behavior--he could have done better. It's just that the blame for this ungodly mess rests on many shoulders, not just his.

    yeah I only use a drop or two in a 50ml bottle
    more than that it gives a funny taste not exactly menthol but similar....

    It’s been vape mail crazy this week. I got the drag max, some coils, and then today got the blue Zeus legend, an order from chefs, and three more items for review.

    I think you and I are both way past the need phase. Right now I’m just picking up stuff here and there while I can.

    I’ve been outside working the last 4-5 hours. We got all the bushes trimmed and new mulch put down. I also mowed and trimmed some off of our giant maple tree.
    That counts as working out ya know.
