This is the one I found.. tiny bit pricey but probably worth it.

Miboxer C4-12 Mark 2 Upgraded Quad Bay Powerful Ultra Fast 3.0A Hybrid Flagship Charger (Ni-MH & Li-Ion & LiFePo4)

 

[Sloth Tonight]

I'm developing feelings of animosity towards all of you,

I've ordered a total of 5 vapor products today. I went months without ordering anything. What the heck

I gotta get off ECF for the night, and shred my cards. This is out of control.

No not that one. That is the C4. You want the 2 yellow button C4-12 Miboxer. The 2 button is the updated version. I've had mine for awhile now and it's a solid charger.


The one NolaMel posted is the C4 not the C4-12. Stupid Miboxer made it confusing with different models looking alike.

Yup ... very similar but --- the C4 does LiFePO4 cells but has a max 1.5amp charging, while the C4-12 doesn't do LiFePO4 but charges at up to 3 amps. (I have the former because I needed LiFePO4 charging and 1.5 amps is plenty for me). There are also earlier version of the C4 that have lower max charge rates, so take care in reading the descriptions.

edit: seems the upgrade C4-12 will do LiFePO4 ... note to miboxer: too many versions, too few names.

That's the one. I got mine from Aliexpress for $34.57 back in August.

Yeah, the two new ones both have yellow buttons. As @jandrew just pointed out, one is 1.5A max, the other a faster 3A charger. I got the 1.5A one as well, as it's fast enough for me, I wouldn't use the 3A enough to make it worthwhile. But both appear identical in photos.

Now even more confusing as I thought the c4-12 3-amp didn't do LiFePO4, but apparently the upgrade version does (according the miboxer site) --- I wonder if some of listings on amazon and elsewhere mix and match their descriptions (ie, are as confused as I am).

 

[NolaMel]

That's the one.



@Tralfaz vouched for it. Seems like he has every color in his collection except green, which they are apparently sold out of.

They all look alike . I’ll have to abandon y’all and look it up on the ipad. Phone isn’t cutting it for a confusing search

I’m more than happy to show off my lack of knowledge... LiFePO4???

 

[FranC]

Really sorry to hear that Fran... Hugs

Thanks, Charlie

 

[jandrew]

I’m more than happy to show off my lack of knowledge... LiFePO4???

Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry --- safer than other Lithium chemistries, flatter discharge curve, but less capacity for the size and lower 3.2v nominal operating voltage (just build a little lower to compensate). Not useful in most regulated mods (or unregulated with safeties) due to low voltage cutoffs, but work just fine in mechs.

See this thread for example:
Vaping with LiFePO4 (primarily mechs)

Yeah I try and stick with descriptions that seem more accurate according to the manufacturer..

but yes, some of the discrepancies could just be confusion on what upgrade does what exactly.. lol

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought the updated C4-12 did LiFePO4 but couldn't remember for sure. Now I can delve into LiFePO4's at some point.

the description says it doesn’t, but if you zoom in on the picture, you can see the mysterious LiFePO4 listed on the screen. I’m retired, so not pressed for time... is there anything different besides charging amps between the older and newer ? This is giving me a headache lol

I have one of those too Very hard hitting with a simple yet ingenious switch mechanism. The fire button is lockable, comfortable to hold, etc. I'd use mine more except it's white brass and turns out I'm not much of a fan of bare brass in general. Great mod though.

Do I need to make a funny face at the same time?

Yep, the newer/updated one has 2 buttons and the older is 1 button. Here I found this...

Every night and when I have to sew it up he cant watch because he loves his lamb and doesn’t want to watch him have surgery.

Oh man I thought that only happened with kids. My advice to EVERY parent I see whose kid has a transitional object, is "is that still on the market? GET at least two more."

MY son had this vile patterned like blanket from the 80s one day it became "Mr. Fluffy" and like, I hand sewed that sucker up SO many times. He still has it, I am quite certain. But, it stays in the box. LOL.

Also, my son's first need for stitches, I am afraid, I explained it to the kid, as "You know, honey, they are going to sew up your eye. It will be just like when I sewed up that cushion yesterday!"

"I DON"T WANT TO GET SEWN UP JUST LIKE A CUSHION ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH only the scream was longer." That one was bad.

The worst injury he ever got, they loaded him up with so much painkiller he puked everywhere. It was at my Ex's house who somehow felt that bouncing up and down on some sort of straightened WIRE HANGER and a physio ball was like.... a good activity for a 5 year old. I was MAD. All the docs were like, "Uh, we don't know this one is BAD we see tendon. We are just gonna shove everything back in and see what happens, you might need specialty later. But he turned out fine.

See now why my eggs be CALLIN me? Biology is a cruel mistress sometimes I mean I'm exhausted ALREADY. LOL
