Tootle Puffers, Redux (The Sequel)

[Krisma]

FWIW, Blister pack goodness can still be found in something as old as a 1.5VOCC coil on a genitank Giant....Tootling.

On a 26650 Mech.

I still have genitanks in rotation.

I really don't like where all this regulations, illegalizations etc is going

For my new mod:

An original charger is included. Not an adapter. Does it matter what adapter I use?

Asking because I want to be on the safer side. With phones and stuff, I usually just use whatever I got.

You have to make sure what you want it in stock or ships next day and always upgrade you shipping to ePacket.

EPacket is no longer an option for Canadian shipping with fasttech. No idea if or when it will be returned as an option. My last order had to go Singapore airmail, left FT 10 Oct still have not seen it.

I would not go over 1Amp for charging. But thats just me

So as long as the mah rate is below 1000, I should be fine?

Yeah, I believe so! It has an 18650 in it so 1A is normal for 18650s..

Vape mail!

Only the aerotank unfortunately.

It appeared without 2 coils (only one) and the steel spare tank. I checked on the website and it says so with the tiniest words :/

Use a decent 2 amp adapter.
Your mod may want more than 1 amp and may cause overheating/failure of the mod or charging circuit if it cannot get enough current from the adapter

The charging current into the battery will be controlled by the charging circuit in the mod not the wall adapter.

 

[Vapez]

Aha, thanks

Bought 14 pack of glass tanks now, for the mega

True did not even think about that for the CF4.. I plug mine into a USB strip

 

[DPLongo22]

I could ... but my peculiar tootliness favors undersized equipment

Ummmm........ (nope, better not)

If you choose to better not, I fear the worst (it must have been profoundly improper language usage, was it?)

Not at all, nebulis! It was just me, being silly, wacky, predictably giggly me.

Boy talk about weaving webs!!!

Whattttttttt? Do we need this again?

No, I found a online gift card on 120USD! I got it for christmas last year and I thought I'd lost it. I found it underneath the tv bench.

I'll guess this goes for the vaping budget. It expires 1. December. I'd really wish I found it before my purchase yesterday

But hey, reappered money, is like new money, so I'm happy

Now THAT is what I call a GOOD DAY!

Any specific reason why? I use an Efest Luc4 and charge all my batteries on the 2amp setting. Am I doing something I shouldn't?

I think the original question was about charging the battery using the built in Micro USB charger. I could be wrong.
That was what my replies were based on. 2 amp charge for an 18650 should be ok in an external charger. If they do not get too hot it is fine.
Many new mods use over 1 amp of input current thru their internal charging circuit. If you only use a 1 amp USB adapter for those problems can arise. Cooked adapter or cooked charging circuit in the device. Also be sure that you re using a heavy duty USB cable. One for a cell phone may not be adequate for a mod.
Also if the mod needs 1 amp for charging thru the micro USB port and you only use a 1 amp adapter then it will not last and could potentially damage the mod charging circuit when it fails. Not a good idea to run anything at 100% all the time.

1 amp is safer and better for battery life.

Happy to be the original source for that .
I would LOVE to rejoice but don't quite know how to, without halfway comprehending what I did/wrote/insinuated by writing

But, I'll try hard, look:

You are correct about the original question. I was just wondering if charging externals at 2 amps was a problem.

The faster you charge a battery the more heat/stress it experiences. I charge my 18650's at 0.25A.

If they are a good 18650 it should not be a problem according to Mooch our resident battery expert. I believe he said he charges at 4 amps? on a Plumes of Hazard vidcast recently. I personally would keep it at 2 or less though
imho the cooler an 18650 runs the longer it lasts.
