I've been using a couple of Trustfire multifunctional chargers for a while, they take quite a beating from me but I have never had a problem with them. However, a 2650 Battery takes about 12 hours to charge.
Apart from that so far they have been bullet proof.

Okay .... after a few days use I can now fess up.
My two Evics are without doubt my best purchase to date. They certainly need to be on their best behaviour because rumour has it that they are going to joined by two Smoktech sid's.
I should never have joined this forum, I've contracted shinyitis!

I've had the odd one or two that don't light up when they first start charging, but they do complete the cycle. You never know with these things, but at the end of the day if they charge, all well and good. Maybe?  Nah ... your battery is fine, working like a trooper. Jag.

Hi Smokeybebe ... The mAh figures that are quoted for any battery you buy refer to how long the battery can deliver a constant current of 1 amp (1000 milliamps) at a constant voltage of 3.7 volts and is a standardised way of comparing batteries. The 1000mAh battery will meet the above condition for 1 hour while the 1300mAh battery will meet the condition for 1.3 hours. In real day to day terms, the 1300 will "last" longer than the 1000 but another factor to be taken into account is that most battery manufactures, particularly those producing cheaper batteries, tend to exaggerate their capacity. Indeed they do. I think that's why the Riva is so popular, it does what it says on the box. Not that you get a box of course ........... Jag. (Polarity issues.) |

All of my Ego batteries have some form of charge indication, except one. Even the Riva will start flashing at you and refuse to work when it is on it's knees. Most Ego/Joyetech/Janty batteries use a colour system to indicate charge level, from white to sky blue to deep blue depending on the level of charge left. Even some of my "Clones" have this function too. None of them come with instructions though. Jag. (Having to suck it and see.) |

These days I don't look beyond the Kangertech T3S. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I cannot fault them in any area, and have found them to out perform some far more expensive clearo's and Tanks.

In my experience not a great deal of difference, but it will allow you to vape at a high voltage output for a little longer. It will also retain it's charge longer. I'd give you some figures but it really does depend on the Brand of battery and more importantly the power cell contained within. Complicated, ain't it? Jag.

Strange ..... I found the Protank original to be better than the MkII. It seems a lot of people have the same opinion. I only had them on loan but after discovering the Kanger T3S I decided against purchasing either of them. I guess it is what works for the individual that counts, not the reviews. Jag. (American Red?

Nudist Vape meet Jag ? If you organise it they will.... oh *ahem*  Indeed. The problem is, ukric, once they've had a few drinks they tend to lower the tone of the place. Hell ...... even the Sheep won't mingle with them! Jag. (Where are my binoculars?) |

There are only two other vapers in my area. One of them only vapes at home, but the other can be seen out and about with his Fasttech goodies. Usually he is cursing and trying to put a brave smile on things. Then, with great pride he reminds me how much I must have spent and how much he has saved. Except for that day in the market when the top fell off his spinner ............ Hey, I'm not going to knock him, he's a Taxi driver and I've lost count of the times he has given me a free ride into town. The people here seem to go for the patches and the gum. Jag.

I think I got lucky with all of my purchases. Okay, I did my homework, granted, but there is still an element of luck involved. The only area that has been difficult is E-Liquid. Finding something that suits you can be a real pain in the bum. These days if I do find something I like I tend to stick with it. "Better the devil you know ..." as they say. Jag.

No-one got any pics? It's nice to see different setups. Photography is one of my long time hobbies, but I've never even thought of taking pictures of my (vaping) gear. I'll see what I can do after the weekend. Jag. (Keen Snapper.) |

Organise it and they will come Not me ...... the cost of the flight would be somewhat prohibitive. There are only three vapers in my area. Me ..... a rather stunning blonde, who I shall say no more about, and a FastTech Junkie. The latter is very useful when I want to study or test Fasttech products. The Blonde? Eat your hearts out ........ I do ....... Lets face it, I'm stuck with the sheep and the Nudists. Jag. (Rural fella on the coast .......) |
