The Disrupters

[RaceGun59]

WOW, what a ride that contest was. Lucky there was a great product involved or I would have bailed the first time a troll showed up. Wondering where they will go with the innokincell idea. I can see higher mAh in the near future. From reading on a flashlight site, I think I understand you make the cell "denser" to pack in more mAh.

I nwould buy a bigger cell even if it was half again as big. I'm so used to holding the VTR anything else seems so small.
Don't say it @Uncle .

I would dearly love to see a higher mAh cell in the future! I'd definitely buy a couple. I'm a chain vaper, so the longer the battery life, the better I like it.

Wow, I just noticed they took the contest thread down already. Too bad - I loved checking in there every day.

With 7 different colored cells @ 2000 mAh and no squeaky battery caps I can get by without a higher mAh.

There were trolls in the 400 Disrupter giveaway thread?

There were trolls in the 400 Disrupter giveaway thread? 

Just one Troll that didn't take the time to read any of the contest thread but only who won.

I seem to remember another one early on who was complaining about the publicity Innokin was getting from the giveaway.....

Question

I am using the wall adapter that came with my Samsung Galaxy 4 tab. It sayd 5.3V on it .. (I use the cord that came with the disrupter)

Is this Ok?

Oh yea I remember them, I believe someone said that was another vendor that was just jealous of the attention Innokin was getting.

The other troll that was complaining of publicity for Innokin won one of the disrupters as well and is an ECF member

I been told yes you can because the device won't go over what it can handle and I been told No because it can over charge it.

So I just did a test using a Xtar V101 USB Current/Voltage Detector

I got a Samsung Note 3 but it's cable is a Micro-USB 3.0 so I can't use that.

I used my Samsung USB wall adapter which has a 5v - 2A (2000mAh) output with my Innokin USB cable.
Plugged it into a iStick 30 (Didn't want to risk my Disrupter )

The meter read it was charging at 5.5 volts and was going up and down between 999mAH and 1.1A (1100mAH)
And I did the same test using my Innokin USB wall adapter which has a output of 5v - 1A (1000mAh),
And I used the same Innokin USB cable and the same iStick 30
The readings on the meter were the same.

I tried the same test with the Disrupter but my Disrupter was almost fully charged.
Some devices once the battery gets almost full will slow down the charge. Not sure if this applies here or not
But anyways the Disrupter showed a charged at around 5.15volts - 860mAh using both the Samsung and Innokin USB wall adapters.

So my test seemed to show that you could, but I don't want to be the one to say go ahead and do it

Me personally, I like to use the chargers that were made from the same manufacture.
But I have had three cheap wall Adapter burn up on me, no fire just a puff of smoke and a burnt smell. Two happened charging smartphones.
And I think I screwed up one mod using a cheap adapter It was a cheap eBay adapter not a brand name like Innokin or Samsung.

You can find USB current voltage detector for under $2 on ebay, I seen them as low as $1.29
But again they from eBay so I would just use them for quick test and not leave them plugged in for long periods of time.

If or When looking for a Innokin USB wall adapter you might want to add the word iTaste to your search.

I got a couple of Innokin wall adapters but they were under $5 when i got them.
The more popular Innokin gets the more expensive these wall adapters get

What is the amperage listed on the wall adapter? I tried Googling, but there are a variety of Samsung Galaxy tab models, so it is difficult to determine which is which.

I think what your tests have proven is that the devices have limiting circuits designed to prevent them from drawing too much power (the limit appears to be approximately 1 amp). That said, should the limiting circuit on a device fail, a charger providing more than 1 Amp could overwhelm the device, causing a catastrophic failure. So, while a higher amperage charger can serve charging duties, you are relying on the limiter circuit to function and protect your device.

I'm glad you explained that It always bothered me when people, especially vape shops, would tell people that any USB wall adapter will work
I burned up 2 after market cheap wall adapters charging smartphones, I ruined 2 Smartphones by charging them with my Verizon car adapter,
And I burnt up one wall Adapter charging a mod and I think it screwed up the mod. So I might not be the faster learner in the world but I think what you use to charge your devices with might just matter

The Mod (VaporShark rDNA40) I think has a problem takes a 18650 battery. I have two of them and the one that burned up the adapter seems to drain batteries for no reason now.
I can put batteries in both and not use them and within 48 hours the one is just fine and the battery is still charged, but the one in question drains the battery dangerously low. I'm talking 1.7 volts low
I had it tested and was told there is nothing wrong with it, But I don't keep a battery in it unless I am using it.

 

[Amraann]

Thank you both for answering ... It is 2.0 Amps

 

[RaceGun59]

I'm enjoying my disrupter. I just need to remember it's only a 2000 mAh battery. My 18650 that are 2900 and 3100 mAh have spoiled me.
