Yeah Giz, and you are going to have to find some time to get to know your new LT well, lol!

Roll on tomorrow, well Friday when work is finished! Never got this excited over some tobacco and a lighter, lol!

I shall wait in anticipation of your modded tank It looked much more user friendly than your modded passthrough thingie

The cheek!
It was a perfect(?) ergonomic design that was only flawed by a lack of an adequate power supply!

Hey thanks guys

i'm not really going to get a tank, as an ex rollie smoker I quite like the faff of filling cartos! May get a tank at some point tho, lol

I thought exactly that!

I still don't like the look of tanks...

If you imagine when a carto is working perfectly, a tank is like that all the time and even more, it's slightly better than that!

Well it should be they are known for their problems, but get it right and they sing. Honestly, I am a converted.

It's here, It's here, It's here

Thanks Kev

Unfortunately, i'm out most of the day on a course, so no chance to play

Expect me back later with all sorts of stupid newbie questions, lol

OMG! How efficient is the Royal Mail where you live???
I don't expect to see our postie until at least lunch time! >
But then I do get the afternoons off and can play.......though it does suggest the batteries are fully charged before using them which may take 3 hours!??? Booo hooooo!

Thinking though Karma - are you able to get your batteries charging now so when you have time later they will be ready to go?

It may have looked shabby - i like to call it retro personally - but it was electrically safe, although after good advice a passthrough draws too much current to warrant it safe for a laptop/PC motherboard.
Now wait until I find a suitable portable power supply (Think rucksack and army field telephone batteries ) Perfect for the trail walking vaper!

OMG!!!! Still no post! What the hell has happened to Royal Mail
Generally if the post hasn't arrived by 12 then it won't come at all! Totally gutted!

I take it all back RM. It's just turned up! Postie seemed to have ditched his pushbike and used the van instead...think he may have missed me earlier???

Thanks Kev! What a fab service you provide - I'm very impressed and am very chuffed - thank you!

My first impression is that it's big. Not too big, but comfortably big. It's like an Led torch I have - a bit wider but not as long as a double AA battery Mag-lite.
The screen is tiny! May need a magnifying glass for it lol.
The fire button sits comfortably under my thumb, and the control buttons are reachable by my thumb without having to move the LT - great 1 handed device.

I'm yet to try it out as I have both batteries charging. I'm not sure if I could get away with using the batteries straight away, but the instruction manual (Weblink on Kev's site) says to charge them straight away. So i have.

Kev - I'm assuming that once the batteries have charged the red lights on the charger will go out?
Also - when I initially inserted the batteries into the charger, without plugging it into the mains, the charger lights glowed green - is this normal?
And finally - how long will this charger take to charge from flat?

All in all I am very happy. Its nice to buy something that actually feels like you have got something for your money. I don't feel the LT was overly expensive and I therefore feel it is good value. I also feel lots better about parting with cash when it goes to someone who you know appreciates your business, gives you their time and will offer future support if necessary, and in this case I feel it with Kev, so thanks again Kev.

Hopefully this will be my final hardware purchase for a long time. I do like shiny but I can normally resist temptation (in a none vape related sense).

Now I have to wait for the batteries to charge! (So impatient!)

[DiscoDes]

Get on and use it the batteries should have some factory charge. You cannot over discharge them as the LT has circuitry that stops them at 3.5v

Go on

Go on


Go on


You know you want to!

[gizmondothefirst]

Damn tablet pc - just wrote a longish reply and now its gone??!?!?!?!?!

Anyway - the crux of what I wrote was basically the batteries were green to go so the LT is flashed up!
New lease of life to cartos I've been struggling with.
A 555 diy mix I had made up tastes amazing at 4.5v, but being the monkey I am whilst waiting for the LT to arrive I mixed it with another juice to try and get something from them both, so I will have to mix a fresh batch!

Some burnt tastes coming through at higher voltages, but I guess thats to be expected at 2ohm? I must have subconsciously known I would get an LT when I originally put my GB order in with Perps as I got 2.7ohm cartos. Nice one!!!

This is fun!

Hi Giz

I didn't mean to be cheaky about your passthrough :-[

I'm glad your LT has turned up too

Newbie Battery Question -

Ok, i'm happily vaping away at 4 volts on black cat, very nice! Now the other battery is in the charger, when I put the battery in the charger on the right hand side, the left hand LED glows green, and vice versa? Does this mean it's charged? Also i noticed that the GB adaptor is 13amp, is this ok? I thought I read somewhere that they should be 3amp?

How will i know that the battery needs charged, before it completely dies?

I can't quite get used to nothing glowing when I take a draw

BTW, Hubby said when he first saw it 'Why have you bought a torch with your Birthday money?' LOL

[Karma]

Sorry, more battery questions

Ok, the empty side of my charger is glowing green and the side with the battery in is red? Does this mean the battery is charging?

[Deleted]

Yup battery is charging , if the adaptor has a 13a fuse in it , then change it for a 3a fuse.

If you press the on/off button 5 or 6 times it will show you the actual voltage of the battery , so as it approaches 3.5v it's time to swap over and charge

[Karma]

Ok, there doesn't seem to be a way of getting into the adaptopr, it looks sealed?

Thanks, my battery has 4v at the mo, so good to go

[Karma]

Ok, I could get into the plug, there was 2 screws, doh!

Unfortunately there is no fuse in it at all and nowhere to fit one

I will pm Kev!
