Istick50 Owners...

my vaporizer has a battery of 2800 to
was charging on a 2a 5v charger
carried about 3 full charges.
so the manufacturer recommends a 1 to 5 v charger
tripled charging time instead of decreasing.
do I continue with 2a instead of 1 a?
can give problem ???
thanks  

Hi
I just got a Xtar VC2s charger for my 21700 batteries (Samsung 40T).
Chose that charger also because it "charges at safe low current".

When it charges 2 batteries, it's at about 1000 mAh for each battery. All good.
But when charging only one battery, it charges it at 2000 mAh. Hmm?

I assume 2000 mAh is still "safe".. But won't that reduce lifespan on the battery?

The charger manual says "when the power supply is insufficient, the charger will reduce the charge current correspondingly".
So maybe I should get a usb power supply with like 1000 mAh output?

I will only be charging one battery at a time, and prefer charging slowly if that gives more safety and lifespan.

But I don't know if charging at 2000 mAh is really an issue..  

Hi.
I hope this is right section to write and ask for some help.
So purchased Smok Xpriv baby kit couple months ago .
Is it normal that battery dies so quick ? I vape mostly at 45w and my day starts at 7.00 and around 13.00 the battery is dead .And I do get to vape only on my way to work (30min walk) and in launch break.

And charging takes for ages as well .Tried chargers tried charging directly from PC but no difference.

Any owners has similar issues or mine is just faulty ?  

I just got an istick 30w the other day from a local tobacco store. I bought an istick 30w for $45 which isn't too bad, I'm having problems with it not charging to full. I am using a 1a rated charger and it is supposed to charge to full in exactly 2.5 hours with a dead battery. I cannot get it to charge above about 75-80%, no matter what I do. As of now it's been on the charger for 2 hours and 38 minutes and is at about 80%, and is showing no sign of continuing to charge.

When I leave the device on overnight, I will wake up and it will be at around 65%, and it would have just stopped charging. I don't understand.  

In the USB 1.0 and 2.0 specs, a standard downstream port is capable of delivering up to 500mA (0.5A); in USB 3.0, it moves up to 900mA (0.9A). The charging downstream and dedicated charging ports provide up to 1500mA (1.5A). USB 3.1 bumps throughput to 10Gbps in what is called SuperSpeed+ mode, bringing it roughly equivalent with first-generation Thunderbolt. It also supports power draw of 1.5A and 3A over the 5V bus.

Hello Guys,
I noticed that there are a lot of people who are used to charge electric equipment in Inappropriate ways.

Don't know how many vapers use the charging cable to connect your e-cig device or charger first and then plug the adaptor to the power supply end.
Taking phones as example, if you firstly connect your phone and then plug your adaptor in the socket, there will be a huge voltage assault to the phones which is bad for the life and performance of your phones. Otherwise is the adaptor you are using is DC adaptor, by connect the adaptor to socket first, the high AC volatle can be converted to low safe voltage such as 5V, 12V, in this way, the assault to your devices will be reduced in a large degree.

This is all the same for charging e-cigs, and batteries.
 

So I have a SMOK M80 XPRO PLUS that I got a few days ago. Just wondering is it safe to use a phone charger to plug it into the USB port on the bottom?

My uncle, who I stay with, watched some news article about someone's battery blowing up in their apartment and just wants to make sure I am charging this thing safely. I have been using my phone charger up to this point, with no issues.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!  

So i got a smok gpriv deluxe edition about 3 months ago. Its worked perfectly but then i let it sit unused for around 1 month. Now when trying to charge the batteries nothing works. Its not showing any signs of life. Im currently charging one battery in a smok grip but its still on 0 percent after 20 minutes of charging. Is it a battery issue? Or a mod issue  

I don't know where my common sense went, but I had two mods charging on the same outlet today. I smelled something burning and the plug to one of the mods was smoking, turned black and melted. I was using an extension cord. I'm happy that both mods seem fine, but mostly happy I was here in the same room and avoided a possible disaster.

Just a little reminder for you guys.  

Hello everyone, the thread's title is pretty self-explanatory. I've been vaping on my trusty iTaste VV v3 for the past 9 months but alas, its battery is starting to kick out and does not hold charges like it used to. I'm finding myself charging the device 2-3 times a day if I'm chain vaping. Needless to say, it's time to pick up a new vape. I have done some reserach online and it seems that the iTaste VV v4 is now available and it seems to be the same as the v3 except with a new and improved LCD as well as a 1000mah battery (as opposed to the original 800 mah that the v3 has). I was thinking on taking the plunge and getting the v4 however before I did, I wanted to ask to see if anyone here could recommend any other pen-style vapes that may be even better than the v4. My only requirements are that it be variable wattage and voltage, and the bigger the battery, the better. The iStick 30 seems like a good option for a compact vape however if I'm putting my vape in my pants with my phone, the iStick 30 may be a little too bulky. Subohm would be nice as well, but not necessary as I won't be cloud chasing on a pen-style vape anytime soon.

Thanks in advance for all the feedback!
