Can Anybody recomend a good quality wall socket usb charger for the hcigar vt200 I looked into some good quality multi output usb charger but alot or either expensive or possible overheat when too many amps go throigh them, but the original samsung ones seem to get alot of good reviews, theres some fake samsung ones though around on ebay/amazon that might not be as good. Also these are generally 2amp ones, I think if you want just a 1amp limit then maybe theres some others but not sure which. Thanks vapee, I wonder if VapingBad can come to the rescue on what charger to buy

I used a Griffin ( Tesco's ) 1amp device which is similar to the likes of the Apple units, complete with USB to mini USB cable, it was around £10 so probably not the cheapest.

Anyone know of plans to have escribe ported to Mac? Nothing soon, it runs on Windows in VirtualBox, Parallels, VMWare and the other virtual machines, but the Mac to VM USB implementation is not perfect and Evolv have just got a Mac to test this and increased the fw update time out to make it a bit more reliable. Now and again it may fail on an update, but that wont hurt the board. Latest Escribe with updateInfo on updateThread on Mac support

Looks a good charger, but just in this case would it not be a bit overkill m8, as I think that the onboard balance charger will only draw 1amp.
Great for other devices though that can take higher charge rates.
