I charge at 0.5.

Best way to charge. Problem is there's not many chargers around that does low amperes anymore. The charging world is speeding up, and that's good business for them...not so much for us

 

[hittman]

Mine can charge at .5. After I put the battery in then I press the current button to set the charge rate.

I swapped over from 2A to 1A charging about a year ago. Made sense with what I'd read.

Maybe you should be our guinea pig/scientist and while your batteries are still new, choose one p26a for the 2A charge rate, and the other(s) for 1A and see how they differ over time.

Sounds a good idea to me. I'd love to get a battery tester that actually measures the internal resistance. Something like this:
Universal LCD Battery Tester with Probes - Mr Positive NZ

My current scientific method:
Is Battery A more crappy or less crappy than Battery B

I recoiled my Qbix rba instead of sleeping last night. I stuck the wick in, then @Pigs I remembered I was meant to change the insert down to 3.5mm. So for now it's still for a 4mm id in there.

The was my first coil with VV's ni80 30*2/38. According to steam engine it should be warmer and have more surface area than my usual 30*2/40.

It is a bit gruntier and cloudier, but the heat capacity seemed to be the same. The flavour in the Qbix is superb!

Looks good Ange

I built the pulse rba and have been trying it out for the review. I used one of the included 2.5mm coils. It was a bit of a pain and seemed too small but I got it in. It’s not staying though. I’m going to put in a 3mm with some superfine Clapton next.

I’m still waiting for the replacement recurve 2 but still have the one with the loose cap on my Centaurus. I’m liking this rda enough that I ordered two more.

Evening Shinies

Been really ill all-day but still vaping on and off.....oh yes!! Feeling better...ish now but started the day with uncontrollable shivering....get ye gone foul pestilence

Pulse is on way but I noticed yesterday that my Pico wasn't listed in the shipped email....it wasn't pre-order so not sure what's happening. Maybe they'll send it separately.

Sorry to hear you’re feeling under the weather Charlie. Hopefully it’ll pass soon!

what was wrong with the 1st one? I have the Recurve 2 in a shopping cart waiting to checkout.

 

[Fidola13]

I haven’t put in an order from Fasttech for a few months and there seem to be more shipping options but wasn’t it free shipping at some point?

SO what is everyone choosing for shipping services to the US?

The review sample I got had the outer cap loose. Wotofo said they’d send a replacement to me before I did the review.

Hey guys quick pop in to get some feedback.

Friend from the vape shop in Seville sent me a mail saying they need push out the Recurve v2 RDA since they had a glitch and ended up ordering twice the amount they really wanted.
Told me i could get it just for 15 euros(almost half price so yeah VERY good deal),not a squonker but for home use i could be talked into using it as a dripper.

No double coil for me thou just single,about dripping...can i drip thru the drip tip or do i need to remove the top cap?
Removing the top cap for dripping is a deal breaker for me so i am hoping this is an RDA i can just drip without having to remove the top cap.

Hope y'all doing good,best wishes to all of you

I’ve only been using it as a squonk but would think you could drip through the tip.

You can leave the drip tip on. That's actually how they got their name.

Roger that

I only told you what you wanted to hear. A recurve at half price, you can't pass that up.

I don’t at all feel comfortable in discussing what at this stage falls within the attorney-client privilege.

At that price I'd get a couple. I paid more than that for the ones I ordered from sourcemore.

 

[chanelvaps]

I usually charge at 2a even though I know it reduces their life span. But I've been charging these new p26a batteries at 1a, just to see the long term difference.

Why does this read like Japanese to me? (not intended to hurt any persons feelings that might be Japanese)

I swapped over from 2A to 1A charging about a year ago. Made sense with what I'd read.

And this too. OK, I am out of touch

I have two recurve v2s on the way, hopefully arriving today.
