Heya all! So its almost summer time again and i kinda want to use it camping/fishing. Now i have a question as i use sigelei dual 18650 boxmod and vape pretty much as its last me only one day with two batts. I could buy 4 extra batteries but still need to charge mobile phones. And my question is, would it be enough with 14w solar panel to charge atleast two batts in one go plus charge mobile phone in a not so slow time. Or its better to grab like 4 10k mah powerbanks from gearbest and extra 18560batts for e cig?
I cant find any good info where would be explained how fast these panels charge nor any other info that i would understand. I was thinking to buy xtar vc4 charger and somethine like 15W 6 Panels Outdoor Foldable Portable Solar Charger Pack Mobile Power Supply for Samsung Galaxy S6 S4 i9500 S5 i9600 S3 i9300 Note 3 N9000 Note 2 N7100 iPad iPhone 6 / 6 Plus 4 4S 5 5S 5C HTC ONE M9-65.27 and Free Shipping| GearBest.com

Would it be possible to charge two ctv4's and atleast one mobile phone in a day, if its clear sun for atleast 4 hrs and other cloudy/partialy sunny? And if so, what splitters or something i need to be able to connect mobile phones/charger as i lack english to properly search for that kind of info.
Thank you!
Can I use an external battery pack to charge an IPV Mini?
I have a 10,000mAh external battery to charge my cell phone (Note 4, with a 3500mAh battery), which has 2 options for charging: 1.5v=1A and 2.5v=2.1A.
Is it recommended? Is it safe? Are there any precautions I need to take if I use the battery pack?
I haven't gotten around to getting an extra 18650 battery (and charger) for the IPV Mini. I've finally realized that it takes maybe 2-3 hours to charge the battery via the USB cable. But the one battery doesn't quite last me all day, depending on how heavy I'm using the Mini.
I usually carry a Volcano Inferno once the Mini dies, but the Volcano really sucks in comparison to the Mini. I'd love to be able to charge the Mini while I'm out and about.
I've added a pic of the external battery for specific information.
Thanks for all your help.
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.
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..
I am interested in setting up an Arduino charger for my vape batteries. But the charger I want to use, an Adafruit bq24074 solar charger, does not support nominal 3.6V batteries. And basically all the Mooch approved batteries are nominal 3.6V. So, which 3.7V batteries are considered fairly robust for high current, vaping purposes?
I bought my Sigelei 100w Plus a few days back and ordered 2 Sony VTC4's on my same order (I'm confident they're legitimate, I've bought some before) to be able to marry them together and use them with my Sigelei. Upon receiving the batteries, I labelled one A, and one B and put them into my charger at the same time (charger was off, put both in and turned it on), one battery is slightly more charged than the other (it's 2/3 bars, while the other is still 1/3). I'm a bit worried about using married batteries, I understand rotating A and B in my Sigelei and charger but will they be the same charge when they're done? They're new batteries and they both went on at the same time yet one of them is charging a little bit faster.
When both of the batteries are fully charged, will they be safe to use and cycle accordingly? I heard about if one battery has even a tiny bit less, the batteries will take an uneven load and it will make it risky. How do I ensure that these batteries remain married?
I have a Vamo in the mail, since I already have 18650s and a beast of a charger from when I was into radio control. The wife just informed me we're going on vacation for a week, woohoo. My charger is a but bulky and requires a separate power supply.
So, now I'm stuck between buying a new charger that I only see myself using when we go away, or a cheap box mod with battery (like an mvp 2) that I would probably get more use out of, but it's a little more money than the charger would be.
So i just got the nitecore 1a charger in the mail today for my 18650. Previously i was using the usb charger to charge it on my ipv mini 2 but i haven't tried the nitecore yet. about how long would it take to charge this battery on my nitecore?
I've been charging my 18650 batteries on a Nitecore charger but having to unscrew my Smok XPRO m65 is a real pain so thought I may as well make use of the USB port and charge the battery while it's still in the mod.
But I've been hearing a few horror stories of other mods such as the clouper, apparently its not safe to charger using the USB port
I'd really appreciate it if anyone can help inform me if I'd be able to use my phone charging adaptor with my mod.
The input and output specs of my phone charger and mod input are in the attached pics.
Cheers everyone
Hi folks,
I recently purchases a Sigelei 100w box, and got the purple Efest batteries that the vendor recommended.
I'm using this with a KangerTech Subtank Mini.
It's currently set to 42W - 5.0V, and the resistance it shows me is 0.6 ohms.
I have some questions about my setup.
- I read some reports that these batteries have different specs than what is reported, and it could potentially be dangerous. What should I do to be safe? Is there a max W/V that I can set it to?
- I have a TrustFire TR-001 charger (output: 4.2V / 500Ma). Can I charge those batteries with that? I read the charger supports 18650 batteries, but I'd rather be sure...
- If the charger is no good, any recommendations of what I should be using?
Thanks a lot!
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.
