What's the maximum charging rate of a nitecore?

Anyone have a issue with the battery cover/screw? I could swear it is/was/should be flush with the mod body, but it sticks out. I've tried unscewing/rescrewing but it always sticks out a bit and the mod doesn't sit flat on a flat surface.

Are you using flat top batteries?

One question how do you twist a 28awg kanthal wire to a 28awg nickel wire?

Another question, why would you want to?
If this was a good idea I expect Evolv and Yihi would recommend it, they don't.
There is no magic bullet, all you need is a 28 AWG coil about 3mm and 9 wraps and solid connections
I say don't make it harder than it needs to be.

Cordless drill?

OK how do you trap it if you are not looping it. My drill doesn't tighten down that tight. Just trap it like I do when straightening.

By the way now that I got that report from Phil I think I will pull the trigger.

It shouldn't matter. My S class if I have the threads right will go beyond flush even with button top batteries. Are you sure you didn't cross thread it? It should be able to screw on with just pressure from your finger. When its right you know it it screws on easily if there is any resistance something is wrong. I am sure it is the same as the S class.

When twisting wire I cut a 3 foot piece of it and fold it in half. Then Leave a slight loop and begin twisting slightly just above the bend. Chuck up a small Allen key in your drill and place the loop around the Allen and start out slow and careful and then increase the speed until the whole length is twisted! Just whatever you do don't accidentally try to remove the Allen under power because it can be painful

Also using a nitecore, recommend it highly.

But damn, going from a 4200mah battery to 2500mah really sucks! Worth it for the flavor, and I do like compact size of the mini. Guess you can't have everything in this world lol.

OK in your first post back to me you are saying that you have nipple tops (I think). Are they smart or protected batteries most of the real high mAh batteries are. You shouldn't be using protected batteries they usually don't have the current capability that is required by the SX. What is the max current for the batteries you have?

Also on the nipple top I don't know if they fit or not I don't know anyone that uses them. You said they fit originally or you think they did. You didn't cross thread the cap did you. It is pretty easy on the SX if you are not careful?

Donny,

I just checked the specs and it says what you have posted BUT when I put 4 18650s in mine it show 750 mA charging for each battery.

What does yours show?


Edit: I was completely wrong my with four batteries mine also charges at 375 mAh each. I had to edit this to prevent any one from reading this and thinking I was correct.

The V1.3 I was erfering too was on the info page in the software when I connected the M. It seems there needs to be an update to the driver software before it reads the M class correctly.

Ahh, I think I understand what your talking about now. I think if were looking at the same thing the V1.3.1 under the Information icon then I believe that is only the SXI Installer software version. Not the firmware version.

Yeah thats the way I do it too when I am twisting one type of wire but I want to twist NI200 to Kanthal
