Discontinued Thermovape Alpha Ultralite

You want '510 to M601', the second in the drop down menu. It won't work unless you modify it a bit. You need to file a couple of shallow notches across the mouth on the female end to let air in. No big deal, but if you're not real handy you might want to order two?

Anyway, that screws into the standard 510 socket on the TV supply and accepts the 601 threads on the Omicron carts. What you have goes the other way (mounts normal e-cig stuff on Omicron and V2).

Thanks OF! Only other question I have, is can I file notches in any angle, as long as they are adjacent (straight across), and what file would you recommend with the right size to make the air slits I need this for this to work? Don't suppose you have any pics handy? :tup: Thanks for your time, and again excuse me beating this adapter discussion with a stick.

No, shape of the slot doesn't matter. My first ones I did with the corner of an 8 inch flat file. Lately I've used needle files for square notches. I also cut a couple sets with a hacksaw. You need more cross sectional area than the two little holes above the treads on the cart, after that the holes control the flow.

You can also probably use a nail file or a pen knife even, it's chrome brass.....real soft.

Sorry, not a big enough deal for me to take my fifth photo of it.

And not to worry, you're not the first....nor is your stick particularly impressive.

Does anyone know if I can use the Omicron charger for the included IMR 10440 LiMn batteries? It says any Li-ion, but I was hoping for clarification on this type and model before I break something. The included WF-188 works excellent, but is a bit big for travel.

Generally not advised, the charging current is too high (by like twice).

Thank you OF.

Anyone know of a good travel size charger for these batteries?

I recently bought this bad boy: http://www.volcanoecigs.com/xtar-multi-charger.html

Good Review: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb...uilt-Review-of-the-Xtar-WP2-II-Li-ion-Charger

It has 500ma and 1,000ma max current settings but is closer to a true constant current/constant voltage charger than others in it's price range:
WP2-2-graph.gif


It has good quality screw-in spacers so any size battery could fit, and thanks to the charge profile, no battery will be overcharged. Imr's will stay in max current mode longer since their low internal resistance can take it no problem, old batteries like the one used in picture above and tiny batteries will spend more time in the lower, down-sloping current mode.

My charger terminates at 4.17-4.19 so it should make the batteries last a bit longer too :tup:

I also have the Xtar, it's great! I saw a single slot version for Xtar, if you are looking for a smaller travel size.

Thanks for the suggestions.. I picked up an Xtar single and will give it a try.

You might want to be careful, while not as high (500 not 700 mA) the charging rate here is still higher than recommended for the 10440 batteries used in the Ultra. 300 is more what you're looking for.

It will work, but at the expense of the batteries.

OK disagree with me, I can't force you to be right

The charging rate for the 10440's would be?

And your considered opinion of the Xtar WP2-II charger mentioned above for our uses?

Or do you still prefer the stock charger provided by TV?

I don't see a section for the Alpha Ultra so I am posting here. I got the Ultra/Dart because it seemed the right size and used a single battery. I didn't want to get into battery pairs. My question is the battery is the 14500 IMR LiNm 600 mah. So in power would this be similar to an an eGo 650 mah in power and capacity? Haven't really had a chance to use as I'm waiting on my oil to arrive I had a tiny container scrape of Budder that I tried and it seemed to work well but was so small difficult to tell.

A good 'rule of thumb' is to charge no faster than the one hour rate. So we're looking for 300 mA or so. 500 is better than 700 and probably OK for a few times. The stock TV charger will do the '1C rate' charge but I'm sure there are others that will do fine as well.

Which Omi carts do people like for the Ultralite? I've seen 1.5 and 2.4 mentioned. What differences are there between the two? Thanks!

If you're new to them, go with 2.4 Ohms. They are much easier to learn. When you've mastered them, then consider trying 1.5 Ohms which produce more vapor but are much harder to control. Many find their oil tastes better in 2.4s as well.

I second that, the 2.4 will give you longer battery life, and will have a better flavor, along with the easier learning curve.

And less leaks, if my modest experience is any indication? Once you have your cool down technique down this aspect is easier to deal with. Until then it can drive a guy nuts to have it flooded every time you pick it up again......

Wonderful! I think using the Omi carts will be a great alternative to the dart when necessary. Hopefully the 510 to m601 adapters are back in stock soon. Thank you both for your advice!!

ahh I'm so excited are they out of stock at that website already? I placed my order there a few days ago when I saw the link to the new ones with slits

I think my link was to those without slits. They are out of stock. Do you have the link handy for the adapter with slits?
