Disaster !

[OneDay]

Smokeybebe I'm sure I will be shot down for this but I've always charged my batteries overnight

[stewarty]

When I first started vaping I used to charge mine overnight but plugged it into a timer socket so it went off after about 3 hours.

If the smoke alarm hadn't went off by 2am I knew I was safe for the rest of the night

I'm in Peterborough tonight. Will be visiting ecigwizard tomorrow. I might bump in to you, Sassy!

Yep, hopefully Jason will be his normal speedy self. I wil just have to chance charging it, at least untill I get my new shiny rainbow spinner

Did I mention Im getting a new shiny rainbow spinner?

CC has a rainbow spinner, you won't be disappointed. Looks stunning.

I cant wait .

The rainbow twist isnt as colourtful as the rainbow spinner, from what I can see of the pictures of the 2 of them.

I just want it, like, now!

Not that it will help your current plight Smokeybebe but it's always handy to have a battery that will work as a passthrough in your arsenal

at the moment, every time your e-cig isn't in your mouth pop it onto charge Good luck x

Thanks for the links karma,, Im going to get a passthrough, I dont ever want to be in this position again

Im plugging it in when Im not vaping...trouble is I do chain-vape. Will have to leave it when I go to bed though (I take it to bed, Im a chronic insomniac and as soon as I wake, 20 times a night , I reach for it. ) Will be popping in and out of the kitchen all night to have a toke

Oooh a timer socket, that might be something worth looking into, just for peace of mind in the future

Have you a metal biscuit tin you could pop it into just to be safer

Yep good idea ron, will do that tonight thanks for the suggestion.

I am using an old cast iron cooking pot to charge inside. It has a heavy lid and with the cables hanging out it is not air tight. I keep it in an area that doesn't have anything flammable around.

Smokeybebe this will put your mind at rest when charging, i don't charge anything without it, safety always comes first: www.vapegear.co.uk/product/bag

[vereybowring]

RCD (residual current device) adapter and charging bag/metal container for those worried about charging.

An RCD is a very sensitive setup which will cut power to the charger when there is any significant negative change to power input and output.
They should really be more common in the home, I think every socket should be RCD compliant as they give far more protection but are still quite expensive.
Models to plug into your normal socket cost about £8 but can be tripped thousands of times as they are basically very high tech resettable fuses.

EDIT: Oh and bleedin heck, I will buy more batteries when I'm down to my last ten (lots of 18650's) have about 16 at the moment. No I'm not paranoid honest !

Ordered Thanks romelee

[Smokeybebe]

Shiney new Rainbow Spinner has arrived (My god, how brilliant are Vape Escape!!! Thankyou SO much Jason!) and is grafted to my lip as I speak type.

Phew, disaster over! Ive got to order back-ups for my back-up-back-ups. Dont want to be in that position again.

Thanks to all who offered help and suggestions

Im going to wander over the the juice reviews board and ...well...review. Simply for the hell of it, and because Im happy

[Saturnalia]

Nooo! Not the Rainbow Spinner! I'm so happy you managed to get a replacement. I'm thinking of getting another to keep in a drawer for when mine gives up the ghost.

I bashed mine the other day. I had it stuck in a jeans pocket which was too shallow for it and as I walked outside and reached for it, I knocked it with my hand and it fell on the pavement. The Rainbow has 2 sets of 3 pinprick-sized dents, luckily not too noticeable, but still a bummer. My little Protank sheared off where the glass joins the base and I lost a full tank of bubblegum flavoured juice (the last of the bottle, I'd had it upside down to get the last drips out as well) in the accident.

I was on hols and had no idea where to get another clearo (yep, I had 5 coils but no spare tank!) but luckily found a nice vape shop in town and got a flourescent green see-through plastic one, bottom coil and compatible with Protank coils, which looks nice and is serving me well until my replacement Pro arrives.

Mind you, that's another story... ordered it from VaporZ last Friday and today they have posted on here about a 25% off all orders offer! Luckily I only ordered the one thing, I'd be crying if I'd placed a big order!
