we have been here since midday monday and having a good time. BUT just before we left the house i took off my aw battery, it having been on charge for around 3 hours and the light staying red and i realised something was wrong. so then had too pack all available e kit in a hurry. i managed too find an old SD charger and hoped it still worked. im now on my last 18650 battery, with just 5 mini LT batts to go before im totally out of batts. ive tried the charger several times now but the light just stays red. i have the multi meter and it confirms that there not charging, so im hoping without yet trying it that the nano still works after being unused for 2 years ish. i decided not too try the nano until im down too 2 mini LT batts or it would just p*** me off even more which could mean a very sulky raggy . anyway by tomorrow i will know. why do things just happen right when you cant do bugger all about it. im not flapping honestly im not lol.

Don't know how long you will be there but a suggestion I can think of is expensive and not worth it if you're coming back soon. The suggestion would be to get a friend to post a charger out to you express service or indeed order a new one and have it expressed to you. This would cost a fair bit though and is only worth it if you're over there for a while.

.i dont think anything would find its way here by post, well not in the 2 weeks where here. im having a quiet day today with the kindle and tablet as most of our party have gone to a waterpark and the leg is giving me grief in the heat 40C today so up and down stairs to slides is out for me. i will pop in here every now and then but the wifi is a bit ify at best so it gets a bit agravating typing everything 3 times.

When I say express you could get somewhere here to get the charger and send it by one of the big carriers with guaranteed next day/48hours as long as they cover the area of turkey you're in - I mean DHL, UPS or one of the others. As I say this tends to cost a small fortune but is the only quick solution I could see.

Are there no freindly local resort staff who might be able to help you source an appropriate charger? I'm sure it would be the cheapest option, it's just a matter of finding the right shop.

I will have a look online but I believe there a ban here on ecig sales and advertising of them so the charger would have to be coming from either a torch shop or model car shops I assume , of which I doubt there would be many of them in turkey never mind where we are (fethiye). but I will have a look. raggy.....

right back in the uk now i managed too muddle through with the nano charger, although it was a bit of pain as you can only charge while your in the appt. anyway i now need a charger, Xtar seems to be the brand of choice at the minute. at present in need it to charge AW BLACK (slightly longer) 18650s and also 18350s. i did go through them a while back but im just looking for trusted supplier as i assume there are copies doing the rounds mainly via ebay i assume. anyway if you guys can point me to a few i can get one ordered. thanks.
raggy.
