Ugh, I really need to order a new charger this week. I’ve been reading reviews and it’s all confusing. I just want it to charge a freaking battery. I don’t need to hook it up to my PC to program with charging curves, ones that do internal resistance are apparently pretty inaccurate, and I don’t want something with another wall wart to deal with. 1A charging is fine for me, 2A might be a treat but really unnecessary as I have a ton of batteries so I’m never really in a rush, and I only need 4 bays.

I would just get another D4, but it’s a 750 mAh at most for two slots, which has been fine but a little faster wouldn’t be so terrible. Especially when it falls down to 375 for 3 or 4 slots. I also want to see the actual voltage, not a percent full. Otherwise I’m not all that demanding, but the market has gotten nutty with these things.
Th Efest LUC V4 has done the job for me. Doesn't do 21700s though - I use a little Golisis i1 for that

    21700 is a must for me. There’s no compromise there. That MC3000 looks like an excellent charger but so much more than I would want to invest the time in to access all the functions. Xtar seems to leave me with wall warts and despite the dials and all only percentage charged.

    The Miboxer is probably in the lead for now but I do want to look at the Gryflcon as well. I saw a cheap Brilipower at 18650batteries that seems to check all the boxes but the price seems awfully low (good thing but I wonder about quality at that price). I’ll decide in the next day. It’s easier to decide on a new squonk than a freaking charger.

    Holy crapple.

    Vaping this tank is like getting violated by a box of lemony butter cookies. Everything about it is excessive to a ridiculous degree. I've lost sight of the far wall in the room :D

    I've said this before, but I really can't recommend the MiBoxer C4-12 enough. It's still going strong since I purchased it back in February. It handles anything you can throw at it and charges at 3.0A on all bays simultaneous. It's a game changer, really. Lightening fast. If you add up all the charging time it's saved me, it's paid for itself many times over. Under $50 on Amazon, too.

    BTW Anna miss @stols001 is completely to blame for my doggy RTA fixation ;)

    I saw hers after she finally successfully built one and went googoo eyed. I was still using a Zenith tank at that stage - went headfirst down the rabbit hole, and ordered a Doggy RTA. I had beginners luck with my first coil and wicking - and have loved it ever since :wub:

    Thank goodness Anna didn't show off a Berserker RTA, that day :blink:

    Yep ;)

    But! there's a new Animodz RTA out, that has an optional BF RDA kit :D:D:D:D:D:D

    It's called the Bâtard RTA (well kinda ;))
    Not citrus friendly. If I'm paying over 100 I damn well better be able to vape any juice I want without cracking it. :shock:

    Just sayin' :D

    I liked my Berserker fine but I can't vape the damn thing without the suction pulling my dentures out. Good flavor, easy build, not so user friendly for me.

    That's SO funny about the doggy because I had to be gently coaxed (over months) to try again, my first one was possessed I am fairly certain. I was pretty sure the flat head screws were gonna end up lodged in my skull sometime. I mean, the deck vanished all on its own.

    Now, I can build them. Heh. But with RTAs it can be a case of "If you buy it, they will build."

    Now, I love my doggies but I also pretty much loathe citruses, so I'm good.

    Trafalz to educate youth about vaping you could travel with the "Thomas the Tank Engine" train which (when my kid was small) travelled around the country and it was a real steam engine but you went like maybe 2 miles in a circular track but they probably timed it as "the amount of time your small child could NOT pee in excitement," tested it like.

    There was, most unfortunately, a carousel too. I had to ride it with the kid and I am NO FAN of those things. I like mountain climbing but I THIINK that's safer than um, carnival gear and also I am in charge of my OWN harness, gear, etc, and I don't have to look down.....

    Hmm. Maybe the carousel was better. But you could paint your face blue with a white nose, and blow clouds in kids faces and go "CHOO CHOO."

    I think this needs to happen for the benefit of vaping. IF vaping has a kid image problem, it can be countered by Thomas the Tank Engine. That train is Pure Gold I am telling you.

    Did you try to cancel the order? most sites will let you and give a refund.
    I don’t think I can. Now they won’t even get back to me. I’m starting to think I’m out 30 bucks I paid for 4 replacement 3.5ml glasses.

    Just a warning to others who buy from WoToFo . Be prepared to be screwed with. It was about 3 weeks before it even shipped and now it’s been about a month and half since I said shipped.

    Hmm. I forgot I ordered like 2 plastic or whatever crud they were made out of off Ali Baba a LONG time ago. I have no sense of time currently but the Dragon Ball ARRIVED and boy do I want to vape it but it's GLASS and I know it will break instantly, if I do.

    The tanks are probably poisonous anyway, but they WERE 8 bucks. Should Investigate.

    I wonder if I could get some of that plastic "blow up bubble stuff" and make a balloon with the tank inside it somehow. I mean, I suppose there's always bubble wrap and all but like OY that defeats the PURPOSE.

    That was a mistake. Oh well, one day.

    I don't even know how to investigate with Ali Baba. I think I tried to buy some medicine as a "research chemical" there, or maybe it was China Road or SOMETHING. IDK. I couldn't afford the meds. I'm kind of glad I didn't now plus it was like 2K and I was like, "I don't even know if it's REAL" plus yeah just a bad idea all round.

    That will niggle now.

    The MiBoxer C4-12 is all I've been using lately. It's fast if you want fast or you can charge at lower/slower rates.

    There is an updated version of the C4-12 charger out and about. It has 2 buttons like mine...

    I don't recall what updates were "updated" (lol) but @madstabber might know. Perhaps he can offer some additional info. Maybe the update is only the addition of the second button to help make operations easier. IDK, just a guess on my part.
