TR-001 Charger sparks

[300]

Hi alvoram, no need to compensate me for them, i'm happy to let them go to someone who might get some use out of them.

Seems like i'm not the only one who can't bare to throw things away, that proves the wife wrong then!

It also seems like it's not just a 'Man Thing' either, which also proves the wife wrong!

Karma...... I also have so much stuff i can't find anything, i sometimes have to go out & buy stuff i know i've already got but can't find!

Do you sometimes hide your purchases from the other half 300?

[Karma]

That's the problem Alvo, all the hiding stuff. I'm so good at it that I can't find anything

[Deleted]

I don't hide things I just store them randomly ............ and for some strange reason I know where everything should be ............... and can even find it .... eventually

I'm not that brave! There's no secrets in our house.... I think

My TR001 makes a whine when a battery is drained but if it started sparking I`d throw it!

Indoor fireworks from a battery charger isnt a good idea

300, I also hate chucking things away.

My TR001 also makes a whine/humming noise But agree with everyone else, if it started sparking, I'd chuck it.

I bought this one the other day www.vapeescape.co.uk/xtar-wp2ii-charger~408 it's a brilliant little charger and I use it to charge my phone aswell.

For a few pounds more it is well worth getting something better than the TR001 - I certainly wouldn't want to depend on one. A significant problem with these, especially if you have had one for a while, is the mains lead. Certainly the one I had did not meet UK standards and had fake certification markings on it. Well worth changing the lead and making sure it has a 3amp fuse in it. I had several kicking around from defunct TV sets etc.

Simply put, I would no longer have a trustfire charger in the house - their charging algorithm is wrong, they fail far too quickly and are just not trustworthy. Like others in theis thread, I would always go for an Xtar or a Pila - their charging algorithms have been tested to be spot on.

Well the TR001 is now in the bin.Totally failed spark was coming from a little glass fuse/resistor type thingy.

Ordered an Xtar last night from www.safercigs.co.uk.Hopefully be here tomorrow A fully charged 18650 lasts me all day (nearly) so opted for just the single bay charger for now.My twist+vh dripper will keep me going till then Thanks for the input ppl
