    The Arizer Air

    Not sure I follow here. IMO all mission critical gear needs a backup. Stuff happens. You can lose it many ways (forget it somewhere, have it stolen by some low life, admired by some authority who decides to keep it, and so on). Hey, even the best of 'em can break down. Murphy can get you...

    Discontinued Healthy Rips FIERCE

    No, a lot of us have done so. Some intentionally (like me, I recommend doing so with Li based cells), some unintentionally. A properly designed charger should shut down on it's own. Most (all?) Li chargers run in 3 modes: Full current until the target voltage is reached, changing to voltage...

    Discontinued Healthy Rips FIERCE

    But you did it twice and it killed it both times? Your vape, your call, your safety. There seems to be reason to think something is wrong with your unit (anyone else have their battery damaged yet?)....... Trust it if you want, but I doubt it's fixed itself. Nor do I think damaged batteries...

    Discontinued Healthy Rips FIERCE

    Good point, I should have said 'the only one reporting this here'. Perhaps, on the lesser Forums....... I took mine out as well to check, just as snug as when I got it. Slides in smoothly with a 'thunk' when it bottoms. I can't imagine it swelling at all and having that 'snug to the bottom'...

    Sorry, I don't agree, this is not normal and it is dangerous: http://learningrc.com/puffed-lipos/ Ask yourself why only you are having this issue? OF

    Discontinued Healthy Rips FIERCE

    So this unit has damaged 2 such batteries? Send it all back. The battery should not be changing shape when properly charged. I suspect the charge circuit isn't terminating the charge properly and is trying to charge 'out of spec'. This is potentially dangerous, fires are known to start this...

    Discontinued Healthy Rips FIERCE

    Are you sure this is related to charging, not temperature? Or random chance. For sure that's 'not right'. You should NEVER grab a snug plastic pack with pliers. Any 'marks' made mean nearby there's some extra material sticking up. You should not need to do that, pliers can only make it...

    Discontinued Healthy Rips FIERCE

    Well that's a different condition than what you originally said, right? Has nothing to do with charging? I won't argue the 'shouldn't do that', I didn't design or build it. If you're not happy, HR will make it right for sure.......no matter. Again, it's a snug fit in there, and rectangular...

    Discontinued Healthy Rips FIERCE

    This is fairly common with flat cells like FIERCE uses, especially when charged fast. Self heating can make them expand, in some cases ever warp, inside the plastic case. This can make them hard to get out until they cool. Sometimes this can be aggravated by a sticker or some flaw/debris in...

    Discontinued Healthy Rips FIERCE

    I too am quite happy with mine, and have not sent it in for the same reason even though I'm a few hundred miles away and could do it 'in person' and get a tour in the bargain. The 'flaw' the update addresses is confined to really serious hitters after instant 'huge clouds', something not even...

    Healthy Rips FURY EDGE

    Sorry, not really, I haven't had it long enough for that? For sure it's more. The numbers say half again as many? An extra minute per use is not as big a power drain as it appears I think. Such things use maximum power heating from a cold start to working temperature once there power is cut...

    Healthy Rips FURY EDGE

    Sure, ask anything you want...... I'm not sure I have a solid answer (yet?) however. Like FIERCE it charges faster than F2 by a bit under 50% using the technique I am. That is about 1.3 Amps as opposed to .85 or so for F2 using the same source ('3 head cable'). Understand that the rate...

    Healthy Rips FURY EDGE

    I make mine 1.78 (inch and 3/4) with .70 (not quite 3/4 of an inch sticking out. You'll have to tell me if that's significant or not. I'd also bet there's some variance in length? OF

    Arizer ArGo

    Yes, it's been discussed. And yes, it's running about those levels. Arizer definitely did their homework, specified a cell just able to give the necessary current and 'traded off' the rest for capacity. They gave us as much 'battery life' as we can get from any cell available and still safely...

    Arizer Solo II

    Could well be, I don't know that vape personally. It's worth noting that Solo (both I and II) has a real battery (a single cell is not a battery, a battery is two or more working together like a Battery of Artillery). Two cells in series to that 3400 mAh is delivered at 7.2 not 3.6 Volts...

    Arizer Solo II

    Yup, as I understand Science. And excellent examples of what good work can be done with the technology. Convection is really a problem in a portable, it eats up precious battery life. ThermoVape, using the best 18650s and very very serious insulation (Zirconia) not found on other vapes was...

    Arizer Solo II

    Yep, I'm sure. For convection to work the air has to be heated much hotter than 'magic temperature' before going in so it can make vapor (cooling doing so) and still be above 400F before leaving. Not possible here since only a tiny fraction of the air actually touches hot metal (which is...

    Arizer Solo II

    As has been said, the unit itself has little smell when cold (the contamination isn't there), it's the stems that smell. If you pull it out and put it in a 'travel tube' (from our friends at Planet Vape for a dollar or so) or use HEAT PROOF caps (or wait until it's cold) like Arizer sells for...

    Healthy Rips FURY EDGE

    While that's true for at least some other F2 stems, based on the second photo on the F2 page: https://www.puffitup.com/Healthy-Rips-Fury-2-Vaporizer-p/hr.fury-2_bla.htm The 'bell' of the WPA happens just above the body (which on the EDGE is half an inch taller). If HR says it works, it does...

    Healthy Rips FURY EDGE

    I don't have a F2 WPA to try, but I'm confident it will NOT work with EDGE. As I said above, the two stems are different diameters. If the F2 stem is long enough to stick into the adapter far enough to reach the seals (my F2 bubbler won't) it's too small to seal. Best plan to buy the WPA...
