A new GG - GGTB

[Scylla]

I was wondering about investing in the charger you showed us, but all my SD batteries now are unprotected.

However, I've got a dual and a single charger already so it would be extravagant to spend £20 on another.

scylla,
i know im being an old woman but i would be more concerned with making sure any charger is genuine (im not suggesting my dud wasnt) also to charge them in a safe environment, ie: a metal biscuit tin to stood on a floor tile, and maybe on a timed switch (when you know roughly how a charge will take).
we all know tvs washing machine etc cause fires, but think about it, there is many hours of each day a batt is on charge, and out of sight.
the thing is with our batts and charger there all from china, but we dont know how good they are really.
so try to buy the best and be safe.

JEEZ, whats with the speeches......

ive just used the first 3 blue trustfire 14500s.
the initial vape was great but it seems too really drop of very quickly, less than an hour.

i know lyn mentions some bigger batts from the place i got the charger from, and states how long they last, they were out of stock when i got the charger.
any other single batt advise out there.

Cam stocks the 17670's as well Raggy

I got some 14650's from Toby - which last that wee bit longer, I use them with earth magnets as there's not space for the false battery with them and they're a little short otherwise.

Raggy, I'm so pleased to hear you have the issued resolved with the supplier

Are you using LR atties? If so that could be the reason the batteries are loosing power so quickly.

perpy,

who is toby and what are earth magnets ?.
when you say they last longer, do you also mean the initial super vape that you get from a fresh one lasts longer.
or is it as well to just get another 4 trustfire batts and change more often.

thanks chrissie,

ref: the LRs, i dont really notice the very strong initial vape and the distinct drop off as much from the SDMK2 as i do from the GGTB, or to put it differently the drop off from the 14500s compared too the 18350s used on the SD, it is obvious "i think" that it has nothing to do with the hardware or is it not obvious and the GGTB draws it more quickly as its more conductive.

Toby is IVapour Raggy . . . although I've just checked Tim's new site and he has 14650's as well as earth magnets.

Really handy wee things if your battery is just a tad too short to make a connection.

I totally forbid you to feel constrained, Raggy!

I only wish I had experience with more mods 'n batteries so that I could join in with assistance.

thanks perpy, i will take a look, i now need a new battery supplier as my old one prefers not to sell them to me now ???

Hmmm, well it's his loss Raggy, there's plenty of other suppliers who will be happy to recieve your business.

[Lilac]

As Perpy says, Raggy, it's their loss......i guess a faulty charger could come from any company, but they have to be prepared for things like this, when they sell things that can explode when faulty....

On a positive note, Cam emailed me last night, after i'd unsuccessfully tried to call, then messaged thro his website again, so a new brass GGTB should be winging it's way to me, i hope so anyway, as i see they only have a couple of aluminium ones left on the website...

I've to send the worn one back, which i'll do when the new one arrives, so thank you again, Imeo

[Perpetua]

Good news Lilac, I'd imagine the chaps will be very interested to see your current GGTB to find out why the nickel plating wore off so badly on it.

[Scylla]

Great news at last, Lilac

now this may be a total coincidence but you know i said "the batt dies off very quick"
well i found the whole thing to be a bit missy on the hiss, well i dont never tighten my attys down too much "trog advice" well im using EM 901s and ive taken off the first 1mm or so of black from the atty and find im getting a better connection " might be just luck".
any comments folks.
raggy.

[Perpetua]

This will be of zero use to you Raggy, but I just screw my atties down till they feel like they're a firm but not over tight connection and away I go . . . never taken any paint off my EM atties nor had a problem with the draw on the GGTB.

I did say that would be useless info.
