Was about 2 years old. Actually was a Blu 6.

Yeah, bought a Bluetooth Efest charger. No idea why I had to have BT...

Bluetooth ? Did that allow for fast charging?

I've just started using the Xstar 4 bay...sorry can't remember the spec. It allows 3 amp charging on one cell, 2.5 for 2, and 1.5 for 4 I think. It's usb connected.

At the moment it's running alongside my nitecore which has been going strong for 4 years now. The Xstar seems a good charger and has some great features like giving you an idea of internal resistance which is useful.

Hope this helps

BT did absolutely nothing other than take up space on my phone and tell me the battery status. Basically it saved me a handful of steps to see for myself. Useless. I was lured in by the BT... Cause geek.

Perfectly acceptable.....after all we all like a gadget

Well today I found the crown jewel of my collection. I bought the beautiful Vicious Ant Spade 21700 Mech today. I now will be having huge amounts of anxiety waiting for it to get here. I got a couple spare bottles to go with it. I have the perfect rda for it. A blue Reckoning.

That's a sweet mod. looking foward to seeing photos with the Reckoning on top

Considering Nitecore UMS2

One thing I don't take lightly is charging. I'll have to use the mod to charge for the next few days and I'm not thrilled.

Looked at the Miboxer and passed. I don't know the name and I'm paranoid as it is.

I am a Nitecore fan. Been using my Intelecharger i4 Pro for almost 8 years now with no problems. I also have some really nice Nitecore led flashlights that I've had for years, and Nitecore batteries(18650, 16340, 14500, 10440). No problems with any of their products.

Good morning shiners! A tad behind this morning so likes to all until I catch up.

Next up, WiFi connected chargers you can control with Alexa and Siri, and it displays the charge status right on your Wifi connected smart TV.

A few weeks ago I stayed over at my daughter's when she wasn't feeling well and needed Dad around. We decided to watch a movie. She turned on her smart TV and had every app on it imaginable from Netflix to HBO to Disney+. After over an hour of searching through thousands of films we gave up and just put on one of those video fireplaces because it was cold out.

True. I’ve spent 4 months showing all my family the Chevy app on my phone. What does it do? Tells me where the truck is parked.

Now that's special! Enjoy it, I'll live vicariously through you. I keep saying I want one, then look at the pile of bills and think maybe next month. Now my daughter left her job to take some extra classes and won't resume full time work until March 2nd, just picking up freelance stuff. So there goes another 2 months. At this rate a VA will remain a fond memory.

Not that it's so terrible and I'm wanting for stuff, but that's one of those bucket list purchases. Never got a Dicodes either, but now that I'm all squonking it's probably for the best. I'd feel real guilty letting that just stay in the box.

now that i look that pink one has the look of the dark side Nitecore Q4 4 Bay Quick Battery Charger - 18650 Battery Store

I got my daughter the pink one for Christmas

So yesterday I got a couple things in the mail one of them was the NarCa clone and something that I didn't think I would necessarily like called The Firebird style rda. They were actually a pif from someone on another forum. The firebird RDA has one of the neatest airflow situations I think I've ever seen in an RDA at least amongst the ones I own. The only one that I can think of that is on par as far as uniqueness is the Aladdin.

But the firebird RDA has these little slits in the cap and you can configure them to be either dual air flow or single. I haven't tried either one yet.

And then my minikin Boost 155 I think is what it's called came in the mail and I think it might be my favorite asmodus product.. I don't know why but I'm really into box mods like the rectangle kind and the heavier the better and it's pretty heavy but all asmodus products are heavy if they're made of metal and I like that. I didn't think I would like the color I just couldn't pass up on the deal but I'm actually growing accustomed to the bright ... yellow thank you to the person that posted about the sale of this device

Well it's going to wait.

Little excitement as my Luc 6 just bit the dust with popping and cracking while charging a battery. No fire but, got out attention.

Off to buy a charger.

Not exactly relevant to your post but it brought up a question I have. Are you supposed to unplug your charger every time it's not in use like even if it doesn't have batteries in it. I have been but I don't know if that's what you're supposed to do it seems like it would be safer

If anyone is interested EfunTop has a “preorder” up for a Blitz Vigor squonk for $12. It’s hardly new so the preorder confused me, but maybe they’re waiting to get it from whatever clearance distributor they snapped it up from. Heard of it but no idea on quality. Any owners out there?

 

[AvaOrchid]

Mine were all made between Christmas and NYE. Second one just cleared NY customs. It was one of the later shipped. So, 2 through customs,4 left in limbo, one waiting to catch a plane ride. Hoping that means it’ll not get snagged up by CNY! Mine aren’t even that exciting... lots of small purchases so I could order as it came in stock. Orings, extra glass, DTs, and I think some wire maybe? I shouldn’t be so impatient lol. Does at least give me something to track, shiny or not!

My FastTech order seems to be just taken forever compared to usual I ordered it around Christmas and it's been sitting inbound into Customs processed through since Wednesday just kind of makes me nervous there's one RDA in there and a bunch of wire and coils. If I knew for sure it was going to make it through and not become lost I wouldn't worry about it but I have had packages that never arrived from Miami they call it the black hole for a reason I'd rather have it processed through New York even though I understand they have problems too.

I do realize that it hasn't actually been that long it's just I feel like I'm up against the clock here LOL

I only plug it in when charging. But that’s to keep a plug socket open for something else so I don’t need five power strips. Besides, I have a lot of batteries I rotate through so I only charge maybe twice a week.

Happy Tuesday!

Mine never gets unplugged and is almost always in use. I have a six bay Nitecore.
