Volt PCC and battery sizes-Let me know before I buy!

[saberhead]

Hello! I posted earlier in another thread about how disappointed I was with my Volcano kit. You can watch my youtube review on it by searching "Volcano e cig thorough review" if you were thinking of buying it. I think it has a lot of potential to be awesome, but I just got screwed over with two bad batteries (I know because my boyfriends IDENTICAL kit outlasted my batts and vapor by a lot, we even switch a battery to test and he said mine was awful) and BOTH of our PCC's malfunctioned in less than two days. VERY bummed out. Had to send em back for ...new ones...*shudder*

Anywho, I decided that Im gonna go with that KR808 thingy because everyone here and everywhere else tells me its pretty amazing comparatively and has very good reviews Specifically I like the Volts PCC better than V4L so Im gonna go with them. Financially they are about the same I think.

The only question I have is that with the Volt kit:
When you pick your two batteries it gives you the option to have a size 65mm and a 78mm. Does the Volt PCC let you charge the 78mm? Is there room for it? Also the space that holds the 1 fully assembled cigarette: does that only limit you to the 65mm size or also a fully assembled 78mm? Weird because they dont have the size specifications on the website for it.

Im at a loss. Let me know if you have this kit and two different battery sizes.

Welcome to the forum Saber.......

I would go with the 78mm batt since it gives you more vaping time. The regular Volt PCC allows you to charge that battery once and yes, there's room for it. Not a fully assembled one though. Only the 65mm with a carto attached will fit in there perfectly. Although, the PCC will charge that 65mm batt twice.

DO NOT get that big PCC since it doesn't charge batteries to well and is basically a waste of money. All in all, I suggest you check this thread out and ask some questions about anything else in the future:

Oh yeah, it's always good to see more Seattleites on here. Hope you enjoy the ECF for what it's worth.

Awesome thank you for answering my question
So if I choose one of each size, only one fully assembled will fit in the case correct?

Also Im sure these will outlast my Volcanos. I think Im a pretty light vape..ist....(vapist? That sounds odd) so I feel these actually might be better for me comparatively.

Its either these or make a huge mistake and buy Blu. I have a feeling this is a bad idea though.

No problem, it's the least I can do. Yeah, only the 65mm will be the only one you can fit fully assembled into the PCC. The VOLT will definitely be an improvement over the Volcanos. I own a few ego's, and kgo's. This performs just as well but, you will get a maximum of 4hrs of medium to heavy vaping from your 78mm battery.

Although, you will get an additional 4 hrs with the PCC too. So, that's a lot of vape time your getting.

As with the Blu, it's one of the ripoff kits that they sell to people that don't know about e-cigs. Made that mistake with a 51TRIO that I got in the mall. Plus, it was like 110 bucks for the kit alone and that's not including extra carts. Not sure if you remember those kiosks or not but, I wish I never bought one of those things.

Thanks again! Very glad you told me.
I think what Ill end up doing it probably just get two 65mm for the kit and just buy a 78mm extra. That way I can still have my two shorter ones for work/out and about, and the longer one for at home. I find when Im at home its when, obviously, I am vaping the most.

Yeah since Im new I dont know much about the battery models, but are the Volcano and Blu battery models the same? I believe i remember reading that the Volcanos differ but not 100% on this. Its also too bad for blu because their packaging, I admit, is just fantastic. I mean it looks like an iphone xD. Theyre doing the new 1000 premium thats supposedly larger...I might be into that in a few months time to try out. I doubt Ill get into box/mods seeing as how I am a pretty light...vapist (can I use this word? lol)

I noticed also we dont have much going for us in the market of e cigs here in WA do we? Or at least Seattle I havent seen anything moderately familiar.

I was under the impression that the PCC has been updated to fit a fully assembled Volt with the larger battery (based on a review I saw on YouTube). I ordered mine the other day with two 78mm batts, so I guess I'll find out when it shows up. Will let ya know

 

[dormouse]

The 78mm makes 120mm ecig w/ a carto attached. Same the the standard size of other KR808D-1's. This will have a 320mah charge life.

The 65mm battery makes a shorter ecig with 220mah charge life (just slightly more than Magma)

I know nothing about their PCCs.

 

[joshuadavid]

i have a volt and a ego the volt is awsome i can not fugger out witch one i like better so i use both

 

[Roach]

You might want to consider a passthrough also. Volt's is supposed to be pretty good. When you're at home you don't need to worry about batteries with a passthrough, they can even work in the car.

Please let me know! I think Ill just get two 65mms for the kit and just end up buying an extra 78mm with the package. Be cool if they both fitted.

 

[teknokreeper]

I'll post how the batteries fit in the PCC as soon as I get the package in the mail, should be within a couple of days.

Ah seems like they dont fit, I ended up writing to Volt today :

You can charge one of either size. Sadly it doesnt allow room to fit a fully assembled 78mm. But you can charge one while having two cartomizers in the top.
But it can hold an additional 65mm battery with a fully assembled one in the top if the rubber end is flush.
I normally have the 78mm on the charger constantly and carry two carotmizers with me

BAh! Oh well, still extremely excited to get this. teknokreeper: Post a review when you get it~!

 

[teknokreeper]

Hah yeah I guess I had wishful thinking. Certainly not a deal breaker for me. I hope mine shows up this week. I ordered it last Friday, and when I check the order status on their website, it still says "processing". Getting anxious

My bf just ordered his too

 

[teknokreeper]

Well my Volt arrived yesterday, and I can confirm that a long batt + carto will not fit in the slim pcc. It's not really an issue, because the thing will always be in your hand! I bet that someone who is adventurous with a dremel tool can rectify this little issue, until smokeless image makes a larger pcc. For now the spare slot does a great job holding 2 cartos.

I was considering the Volt Mega PCC but then SteelJan did a review detailing the charging characteristics and basically ripped it to shreds. So that leaves me hanging too. I need the 78mm batteries for when I'm at work.
I was looking at this one at Vapor Kings, but the magnetic clasp would need to be reworked with maybe velcro or a snap latch as it is said the cover doesn't close tightly with the stock clasp.
KR808D-1 XL Smart PCC
And it's ON SALE!!!

Hello little fox: I have a PCC and it charges both 65mm and 78mm. I didn't get it at SI tho. Model number is Megapcc-KR. It charges off of the adapter that's included or an iPhone charger. LOVE it.

 

[FishmanTx]

That model doesn't pop on a search. Where did you get it?
