I was worried about the charger supplied with the Vamo kit, on my one the indicator light was fast alternating red & green when the batterys got to 4.2V. so I googled the model number and found a thread on aussievapers forum: forums.aussievapers.com/vapour_tron/6807-warning-charger-model-kv-vv18350-overcharging.htmlThe OPs model number (kv-vv18350) is slightly different to mine (kk-vv18350) but the picture of it looks exactly the same. OP claims to be a vendor and has tested 12 chargers, 8 of which overcharged the batterys. There are some pictures of the charger and exploded battery but you have to join the forum to see them, so I have copied 3 and will try to attach them. Further down in the thread someone talks about 3 of the kk-vv18350 model number (my one), one of which overcharged and got hot. |

Got to go out in a min but I'll test it, either to destruction or not, on Monday. Either in the ammo box or under a blanket in the garden. Let you know what happens, I'm sure I'm just overreacting. edit 10,000 WOW.  |

I was wondering that, my Ego chargers do it. Just didn't notice it for the first couple of days and a bit nervous to wait and see if it turns green in the end or blows up lol. Thats why I was asking if others did it. Think I'll get theammo box and then try |

OK put one in at 4.1V and it's red. Keeping my distance and vaping like mad. I'll have to get one of those bags.
EDIT: Same thing again fast flashing red & green, battery at 4.19V.
Does anyone else have the same thing?

I think my kit charger might be going wrong. I'm sure that for the first couple of days it would start with the red light on and change to green when fully charged. Now it's flashing between red and green at the end. I was worried it might be a warning so I took the battery out and it was charged to 4.2V. Tried it a couple more times with different batts and the same thing.
What do you think?

TAKE20 is working now but its only giving about 17% off
Still not a bad deal on the lavatube mini though £12.49
EDIT: just realised it's taking the discount off the price before VAT is added, didn't do that on my last order though.

Thanks for your support Ladies and Gents. Thank you for your kind offers of juice. They were all 18-24mg, in different flavours as I don't know what I like yet? Have only been vaping 5 weeks. Was this close <-------> to grabbing one of the wifes Royals and.......... would you believe she sparked up in the same room whilst I was kneeling there mopping it all up! >  Anyway didn't do that, or kill her. But we have agreed that I'm stupid, so it's all good. you really should get a long handled mop ...grown man on his knees lol i see you have a mrs wtf you doin cleaning man ... joking aside i have some juice im sure you`ll enjoy ,,doesnt require steping either ,,pm me your addy and i`ll get it in post f.o.c ...asap He really should get a good spanking....grown man on his knees lolol for spilling all that good juice mrs can do that too lol |

Thanks Karma, A couple of them were interested. One wouldn't leave the ego+atty+el toro alone but the atty keeps leaking. I gave the 1p disposable from apollo to a mate who had a bad chest. |
