Snails - Response on Threads Part 7

[FranC]

I take batteries out to charge too.

 

[Katmar]

Kat, sorry, it wasn't in the manual, but I did watch a video of it earlier that showed it. I don't do anything other than basic ± 1.2-1.5 and rarely go over 8 watts.....yep, I'm a tootler!


I'd use either one; they're all USB and fit interchangeably.


I prefer to take the batteries out and charge them on the Intellicharger or whatever one you may have.

Thanks, Gracie, I appreciate it.

Depends on how hard it is to remove the batteries. It's probably safer to charge them in a good external charger since they aren't in a "closed environment" while charging. That said, probably doesn't matter too much.

My mod, I charge via USB because of the stupid Allen screws (Internal Hex). PITB to take the battery out unless you want to replace it with a new one every once in a while.

Yea, I think I prefer that, too, Fran. I bought the charger, and may as well use it. I trust the charger more, I think.

Battery comes out very easy. Magnetic lid pops open, pop out battery, done!

 

[AttyPops]

One thing I do is try to place the charger and battery in a place that's not too near other stuff...like middle of empty counter space. Technically, people use things like a bowl or metal box too. Just in case the battery goes up in flames.

Basically, don't set it on a stack of papers (I know you wouldn't, just say'n) or right near the curtains or whatever.

If this is the one with the little metal swing-arm...I'd worry about that thing wearing out with repeated use (like daily charging). Just a thought. I haven't seen it so IDK if that's even fair of me. Just thinking of what's "most likely to wear/break."

 

[AG51]

what if she just takes the magnetic cover off and that will let the air on it so it don't get too hot with the usb and leave the batt in there if it's gonna wear out the arm thingy ?

 

[FranC]

I'm sorta here,tib

 

[tiburonfirst]

me too, frannie, but barely! i still got all the animals to set up for the night
running way, way behind but had no choice! this was the first day i had any help and who knows when i see them again. with all the rainy days we've had during the week they have to work on sundays for their main employer if the weather is good.
so glad we got some stuff done today!

gonna try and catch up with my schedule now and i'll sign off from here

goodnight and sweet dreams to all!

hope dale got safely to TN and is enjoying herself!

 

[AttyPops]

And to be fair, the other thing that will wear out in mods...is ironically ...wait for it....USB charging ports. Eventually. And button contacts too. Those little circuit board buttons are probably rated for 100K pushes or so. IDK, depends on the exact part.

So it's basically nothing lasts forever, except maybe a mech that has a screw contact that can be replaced. (but vented!!!!!!)

 

[AttyPops]

Goodnight Tibs!!!!

 

[AttyPops]

Hiya Fran. I'm sorta-here too. BBL

 

[FranC]

Sweet dreams,tib Glad you got some help.

 

[Katmar]

Thanks again for all the advice. Have a good night, sleep well, pleasant dreams and a better tomorrow!!! I'm done in!!!

 

[AttyPops]

Yeah, I'm done too. Tomorrow should be a busy day. The grass refused to stop growing when I went on vacation. The nerve, right? Looks to be another nice day tomorrow, so I'll get prepped for it.

Goodnight to all snails. Sleep well.

Joyetech mods now come with "Flappy Bird" game. (Or, it will be installed
during software upgrade.)

So, if candy flavours don't entice the chil'en, the games will.

My poor poor watering can!!! It gave me 7 or 8 years of good service.

I remember when its spout used to stand up hard, proud and ready for action.

Now it's a flaccid, floppy shadow of its former self.

Some well placed duct tape and a few small splints would fix that
