Yep good ol' Boise. No shop though, strictly internet sales. I don't see a VV coming soon but I am not the one on the front lines of production so I could be mistaken. And if we do come out with one I'll let you know and maybe we can meet up for you to test one out

Bummer theres no shop. That would be sweet to have a VV though!

Congrats Noah...Hope you're gettin' more sleep these days.

I wouldn't count on it haha.

Possibly someday. There's just way too much on our plate right now to look into that as well.

I just got the Ultra and the UltraMax. I am very happy. The performance is fantastic. The Ultra does not lose a drop of liquid and the RES is great. Great product. Congratulations to all owners.

Best Regards

Good to hear you got it safely over the sea and are loving it. Sweet pictures by the way too.

just got my ultramax yesterday sweet with a different tru-flow driptip

just want to ask if the charger is blinking red to green if charging?

 

[sashwa]

Yes. Once the batteries are charged the light will turn to a steady green.

 

[zypher30]

thanks sashwa

 

[sashwa]

You are welcome. I've also found that using the 300mA setting also seems to charge the 17670 batteries better than the 650mA setting. The 300mA setting takes longer though.

 

[zypher30]

so whats the different between the 2 settings?

 

[sashwa]

That I really don't know but I'm sure someone will know. I do know that the 300mA charges slower than the 650mA. It also seems to give a better charge to me so that is what I use. Sorry I can't be more help about this.

 

[Slo Ryd]

The general rule of charging is that whatever the mah you want to charge it on half. So you technically want to charge your 17670 batteries on 650 seeings how they are 1600 mah. But if you want to charge them on 300 you can it will just take longer, but give it a fuller charge. When you charge batteries on half mah its called a slow charge. It takes longer but will overall give longer battery life and charge more times before completely dying.

How much more do the volt go up to? I'm measuring my batteries to 4.15V of the charger. Is there any difference in how long they last even if the volt is the same of the charger or is it just that the volt gets higher?

 

[mwa102464]

The Volts don't go any higher, max charge on an 3.7 Batt is 4.2v if you have a good Batt, some may come off the charger at 4.19 this is Max charge.

It just depends on the battery how high the volts will go. No 3.7v battery will go above 4.2v though no matter what charger you use. The higher the voltage coming off the charger should have little to no effect on how long the battery lasts.

Ok...have had this a bit now....gotta say....I REALLY like the Ultra !!

Sliding has become second nature...so easy to maintain !

Great job !
