Who has the PCC, for the janty? Is it worth purchasing?

[effigi]

The way it works, it has the capacity to charge a battery from empty to full four times. It only charges one batt at a time. So if you charge a battery, you could pull it out and put another one in to charge.
I use mine to charge my batt all day long. I pull the batt out long enough to use it, then put it back in to charge. That way i have a fresh batt for every vape.

So it charges 1 battery four times, not four batteries once?

Yes, I'd say a bit more than 4 times, if you're using it only as a battery charger. Realistically, it's nice to carry around, so your existing (using) battery is always fresh, or leave one in the case, and keep a fully assembled 510 handy, then you can swap out the second your assembled one starts to go low, if you 'must' keep multiple batteries.

If you're not vaping constantly, and using it more like 'smoke breaks,' the PCC works perfectly. If you vape constantly, and off battery versus a USB passthrough, I'd suggest keeping a second battery handy and rotating them in and out of the PCC versus in your hand.

The PCC that The Widow Widows Bead Work - charge has in stock are the NEW versions that have the slot for the manual battery button. I don't know if anyone else has this version yet, but I would ask before ordering to be sure. I tried sticking a long manual battery in and got the top of the case jammed... I wouldn't recommend it for the long battery.

I recommend that anyone who has one of these pay attention to the screw on the side of the case nearest to were you insert the battery... my wife noticed her's was loose a few days ago, and last night I noticed it was gone. I modified a little screw to fit in there, but I'm mystified how the screw is supposed to stay there since it comes right into the opening at the top of the case and doesn't seem very secure, unless it had a little bolt or something originally?

The one I got from TW does indeed have the battery slot in the PCC, as well.

Excellent. I just ordered one.

It does not work with the older style manuals. They are too long. The PCC also won't work with the new shorter manual batts if the PCC model isn't the current one (with the little groove for the button).

quick question about the pcc's. say you charge it up but dont use it to charge any batteries. how long will it retain its charge?

I just got my joye510 recently, but how do I determine if I have an OLD STYLE MANUAL BATTERY or the new SHORTER TYPE BATTERY?

 

[need_2quit]

for those that put the battery back in the PCC before fully discharged, does that shorten the life of the battery by charging/discharging?

ie: 200 charges on the batteries (life)

in/out/in out of the PCC. would that affect the total battery life?

I'm thinking about getting one from Widow, but wasn't sure about cycles

No. You can top off Li-Ion batteries as much as you like. For instance, if you were to use 1/4 of the charge, recharge to full and then do that three more times, the cumulative charge/discharges would be one full cycle.

By the way, my full review of the case is here:

cool - thank you so much!

Here's a heads up. I received a Janty PCC two weeks ago that worked perfectly with both the long and short manual batteries. This PCC from Janty did not have the slot in the side, the charging hole was deeper and a larger diameter which accomodated all the manual batteries I had just fine. Today I received two of the newer manual batts with the bigger button. These do not fit in my PCC, no way, no how. I wonder if Janty will take it back? I'm sure gong to ask them to. If they don't they've lost a customer forever and a Dremel mod will be necessary.

 

[KreeL]

I believe this is because, as of yet, Janty doesn't sell the shorter tall button batts.

However, it's easier to gently slice the rubber down on the tall button batts with a scalpel, than dremel the PCC case (if Janty won't give you any justice). Just MHO.

Thanks Kreel, good idea trimming down the buttton. I'm liking the big button now, I'll just go ahead attempt the slot mod to my PCC. Someone from the UK(igetcha?) posted a very good DIY video on this. I'm not a dremel master but I'm going to take a 'slot' at it......
