A new GG - GGTB

[ragjoy]

well had a quick look at the beginning of the video.
it states keep the false batt just below the threads.
with the 14500s and the false batt wound right down it sits proud of the ggtb, it will allow the attie end to screw on but will this put too much stress on the spring?

Take the top section of the false batt off Raggy, that way it sits that bit lower in the tube, screws up fully and still works perfectly all ok.

charger now pulsing ??? is this normal.

perpy,
ive done that but then you have a roughish surface either touching the batt + end or the attie terminal, if the latter this will scratch the attie terminal each time you change the battery.
i can do it up with just using it normally but would/could this compress the spring to much.

Raggy, what do you mean by the charger "pulsing" exactly?

Must confess, at the risk of further confirmation of my slattern ways, that had never entered into my mind about the scratching, if I can't see summat, I don't bother about it. :-[

Just checked my atty connector end and I can't see any marking, even with my specs on . . . the pulsing shows the batts are still charging Raggy, mine does that as well. . . means they're almost cooked I think!

[Lilac]

Yes, the mark1's fit, either singly with the TB, or 2 together, altho as Perpy pointed out, you'd need a HV atty for 7.4...

If you've a few spare £'s Raggy, i'd try the black AW 17670 batteries...they last forever...lol

I'm not having much luck contacting Cam...

no reply to message sent through ecigz website, and altho i PM'd him on ECF, he hasn't posted since 4th Dec

[Perpetua]

Have you tried Lilac ringing or texting Cam, I've found that to be the best way of contacting him.

[Lilac]

I had the problem of the 14500 battery sticking up outta the tube too Raggy, so Imeo kindly sent me the new spring, which is bigger, but softer....i'd assume you'll have the new spring with yours, so i can't imagine it'll damage it, no

[Lilac]

I didn't want to phone, Perpy, in case he was busy, lol

i'll do it once i've finished my nights, if he still hasn't replied...

ive took the first set of batts out now, they didnt go green.
im using one at the minute, seems fine.
i put the next 2 in and 2.5 hrs later they were still pulsing, ive took them out and put in 2 sdmk2 batts just to see what happens.
i spoke to the supplier at lf and he couldnt enlighten me any, i will call again tomorrow.
im using the batt extender with both bits.

thanks lilac,
i dont know what spring is on mine, seems quite stiff but it goes on with the extender wound down just about.

[ragjoy]

what is the charging time on the 14500 batts?

[Chrissie]

From memory Raggy, I'd say about 4-5 hours from new.

Wondering if you either have a dud charger or some dud batteries

Lol hate to ask, but have you put the batteries in the charger the right way round? I'm sure you would have done but just had to check.
