    Happy you got a balance charger. It will resolve your lipo situation.

    It certainly did the job Mate:thumb:
    I got my little tool set out last night and took the battery out of the Big White Beast 20210713_182149~2.jpg
    That battery was in there bloody snugo_O
    Now back to 100%, Noice;)

    Morning everyone.

    A question about balance chargers for lipos -
    @Daniel Forsyth or @ShowMeTwice can you give me the gen?
    Daniel would know much more than I. My only experience was researching them per the recent thread Daniel started about lipo's. It's a very informative thread.

    @Daniel Forsyth or @ShowMeTwice can you give me the gen?

    Morning Mate:thumb:
    I'm not down with the flow too much with balance chargers but I do know that they are used for when a cell from a multi cell lipo loses balance and drops voltage compared to the others, like my 4S mod image.jpg this is a pic from EScribe, see cell 2 is lower than the other 3. A balance charge will bring this cell back up to 4.2v, the same as the rest.
    It's also good practice to charge lipo batteries with a balance charger if convenient to keep them on track.
    I hope this was some help Mate:) I might just think of a bit more later this morning when I wake up properlyo_O
    @ShamrockPat has some good lipo info stored in his noggin', he might be able to help!

    Thanks Daniel. I'm wondering how that will apply to my little 2200mAh lipo in the Delro clone. I think it has two cells in its lipo pack but not sure. More stuff to check out.

    @ShamrockPat do you know anything about the Delro clone lipo? SXK rate it at 2200mAh but I'm not sure if that's accurate. I know the authentic Delro has a 1800mAh lipo

    The only downfall of me being on holiday, is I shop. More than normal :facepalm:

    But I've been wanting something to try GTX coils in, so I ordered a ridiculously priced Vaporesso target pm80 locally :D

    I got the device and a 5pk 0.3ohm coils for $43.35nzd or $30usd.

    @Fredman1 I used the 25% off code REDDN490TF4C so see if there's anything in their hardware clearance you want, while the code still works. It's an off-shoot Vapourium site:

    I'm a little upset that I didn't find the glass tank version especially considering I'm on a I hate every juice I own kick right now which is tough because I only like two or three juices to begin with. And I really want to use my lemonade but I'm scared it's going to crack my tank...it usually doesn't It's not a highly acidic e-juice but I only have one tank. And I think I'll be pretty ticked if I bought a whole mod in RBA and a tank just to have the thing that I wanted the most break the first day I own it due to my own error lol!

    So I imagine I'm probably going to end up finding the glass tank.

    Did you find the bottom of the mod to be a little bit sharp? Like it could just be the heft of the 21700 and the way I hold e-cigarettes that are a little bit heavy on my pinky finger but it seems a little bit sharp

    Not sharp that I noticed but don’t put my pinky underneath when I hold it. I just wrap my whole hand around it.

    I have some of all resistance of the gtx coils but like mostly .6 and lower. I really like the .2 in the px80. Only thing I didn’t like about he pm80 you got was lack of airflow control besides the little rubber plugs you can put in the airflow holes. The new gtx go 40 and 80 use the gtx coils as well as the new luxe 80 and those three are top fill pod tanks.

    I honestly think you will be hunky dory with your Delro Mate:thumb:
    A lot of the reason for a cell losing balance is lack of use, you won't have any problem with that!! I'm not a big vaper so my lipo's don't get used as much as they should so I'm going to drop a cell every now and theno_O

    I've got an original Grus, and an Ursa. If ever a twit decides to burgle my teeny tiny house - I'll knock them out with my Lost Vape mods :thumbs:

    I don't find the bottom sharp on either of mine either. But it would make them even better to do the above :lol:

    I don't think this is the glass tank you're looking for is it?

    Hmmm, that's a toughie. Daniel Forsyth mod comes with a high end balance charger built in, which would have balanced his battery eventually. My 4S Lipo which I use daily has never gone out of balance. My 3S Lipo has, and it has taken, say 24 hours plugged in to rebalance, albeit slowly. All 2xx series boards have a balance charger built in and they're serial boards. The 75's just have an integrated charger, because they're parallel boards. A series board can show individual cell voltages. A parallel board, no matter if it's 1 cell or 10, only presents 4.2v to the board on the input side. The board has no clue how many cells there are. Now the 60 board does not even have USB port at all, but it is also a parallel board, which you can get an external charger board for. I have no clue for the original or the clone specs for the Lipo or the charger board itself other than the posted mAh. I offered to help 'JG' with his settings for his, but he thought he knew best. .... he didn't. ;)
    But there's more than one way to skin a cat. I have known people that have removed the outer wrap of a 3S Lipo, and then rewired the 3 internal cells in a parallel fashion for use in their mods. So your's if it is 2 cells will be like that. It'll just show 4.2v

    Not sure but I think that uses the smaller ub coils instead of the pro coils.
