Testament to the Big Chuck

[Chime]

Just figured I'd give this device it's due.

Had my black and silver big chuck since february, it's been on many an adventure with me, it's used as my bulletproof vaping solution for parties and bushwhackin.

I knew it was tough but until last weekend I didn't understand just how tough.

I was out at the local reservoir flyfishing and took a bit of a spill on a beaver dam. Thought nothing of it, it happens often when I'm slinging and not paying attention to my feet, till I go to take a vape, it's not in my vest pocket, panic ensues.

After 15 minutes of frantic scouring the area I find (wow luck) submerged at the base of the dam (not so luck).

So I dig it out, heart in my feet, sit down, open it up and drain it, wipe the mud and slime out of it and off the battery, disconnect the atty blow it out. Then I figure what the heck its screwed and I'm not going back to the truck unless I need stitches (usual mentality), so I reassemble it after 5 mins, drip some fresh juice in, and the SOB works just fine and has been ever since!

Try that with any other mod or commercial unit.

Thanks Jeff for sharing your genius, lol the coating isn't even scratched.

Yeup, had a little chuck get lost outside, got buried in the dirt, sat in the rain and the sun for a week! Cleaned it up and you'd of never known! Just one big reason for the many reasons I won't own anything but chucks!

Its the only mod I have sold -- and reacquired, its tough and reliable.

I just swapped for a big chuck and I'm loving this thing! I have a question, my chuck is 901 threaded and everything else I own is 510, I know they sell adaptors but I saw a video review where a lady messed up her chuck with an adaptor. Do ya'll advise using 510's with an adaptor or just buying 901's for the Chuck?

 

[AmyB66]

I used adapters at one time and was fine.
Get yourself another chuck with a 510 fitting. Can't ever have enough chucks!

I may have too! This one is black and I just checked out the website and saw the custom grafics...very cool! I've been reading this forum and see that mine is the old nonvented tailcap design...is that something I really need to stress about?
Anyhow I swapped two riva 1100 mah bats and charger for it, I think I got a great deal, I can have two kinds of atomisers if I have too and this puppy vapes like a beast!

Youll be fine with an adapter on the Chuck.. Go for it.

I still have my Big red Chuck. Had a switch put in it once and it is still working like a champ.. Great mod and Jeff replaced the switch like in one day and sent it back..

Wow! This thing is a beast at 6v but I'm useing the atty that came with it and have no idea what ohm it is. The guy I swapped for it said it's the one that came with it originaly. any Idea what atty / carto's I should get for it? I'm using HV carto's at six on my 510 VV box mod so I hoping I'll get similar performance with my Chuck using an adaptor. Any issues I should be aware of?

I love the dual coil 510 cartos at six volts. The regular 510 cartos at six are not bad either. (though I've been real spoiled with the dual coils)
I did get myself some tenergy 3 volt batts finally as those dual coils killed the lifepo's in less than 8 hours. Not sure how a dual will perform with an adapter. As far as the regular cartos, my favorites are the 510 high performance cartomizers by Boge. I've tried lots of others and they just don't perform, last or taste like these do.

If you are handy, you can drill a hole in the bottom endcap or after you get a 510 customized chuck, you can send your endcap to Jeff and he'll put the hole in it. It is just for added safety, in the mean time, make sure you use safe batteries.

Thanks! I'm sure y'all have been over this stuff a million times, I appreciate you putting up with the noob questions.
