I think you're spot on. That exact battery is, it seems, the very best choice for this demanding application. Better than other IMRs, let alone more common Li-ions. I know the fire risk first hand, a seaman's worst nightmare. The factory units are cheap insurance/peace of mind indeed. OF

You're welcome. I have, I think, examples of the only two possibilities. IMO if you get anything other than a Blue flash on power up, it's the new style. The steps are narrow enough that you might be able to miss one. Again, if you want to see them all I suggest you slowly add charge in...

Gentle Friends, Some 'battery meter' tests for your perusal and amusement. After an failed attempt taking hits (too inconsistent I think due to draw differences) I went back to my standard battery test in Solo. That is fully charge the battery, do no stem (top open) maximum heat sessions back...

Thanks very much, this makes more sense (at least to me). I noted some fiddling with the bleed valve (closest camera), I assume to adjust vapor production rate by changing airflow. He also seems to fumble with the switch on load four (about 5:10), it seems to have timed out? Anyway, taking my...

Interesting they claim five degrees C cooler on the first two levels, but the same on the levels you think are a bit hotter? Good news for the low temp lovers amongst us. Good find. I agree with you on the colors but thing there's another step between green and orange. Given the coarse...

The one I just got seems to be green followed by white followed by 'orange' (green and red) followed by red. I think. This is based on one test series. I plan to run another one more carefully (the voltage steps I got weren't all that uniform, I think it needs to be without hitting to be...

Useful for sure, but I think the most useful information of all is how it performs for real owners. And it sounds like there are an unknown number of them out there (that is they have shipped the first batch) so hopefully real world experience will directly shape the discussion and end the...

Oh, I don't know about that......seems to me 'just vape a little longer, it'll fix the problem' gets me into trouble at least as often as it gets me out of it? Still, 'clean it while hot' is good advice, here and in a good number of other vape situations. OF

I too just got a second one from Randy, another black one but the current version. Too early to say about temperatures, but I did notice a change nobody else has reported AFAIK: It has a six digit (actually 5 and a letter) number engraved on the bottom of the frame, under the battery cap...

I think you'll be shocked then, sad to say. Since nobody else has been able to do that I seriously doubt they will be able to. I've given real world examples of actual vapes of a similar type as examples. THC Scientific has been pushing this very problem for years now, IMO he's at 'the...

Actually what I think we know is battery life isn't ridiculously LONG like was originally CLAIMED. My estimate still stands, under 10 minutes total heating time. Short, but probably useful to some. No, they don't need to do anything really. IMO we'll soon know how completely how much weed...

Charging NiMH batteries (like MFLB uses) is not an easy thing to do. The hard part is detecting when the end of charge is reached as overcharging is very bad. There is a very low charge rate where the extra heat generated by over charging can be tolerated, but this rate is very slow, about 20...

Always. Most makers recommend 'overcharging' (compared to normal times) by several hours. Five hours (for a unit like Air that normally charges in two) to overnight being common. Not doing so can permanently limit the maximum charge. Once again, the Q Man is wise. OF

Interesting perspective. I tend to see it more in lines of a technical discussion of the performance claims, but can appreciate that view. That is not demonizing but rather questioning the claims, and offering evidence to support it. Already, those claims have radically changed I think...

If you still have some gas in the lighter a good way to go 'shopping' for the right adapter is to one at a time press just the adapter into your lighter sealing the end where the can would fit with your thumb. Eliminate any that leak gas everywhere. Look for the one that 'burps' a tiny bit of...

You're not seriously defending that 'evidence' proving the original claims are you? Actually I think at this point, under this pressure, if they could have shown more they would have. As I said, you'll no doubt be able to find some guys for which very little is plenty for them, but IMO this...

Well five HALF chambers anyway. And not all of them done to the level most guys want? No doubt enough for some, but a far cry from what was advertised? If they've already shipped the first units out, it must be very few or some lucky FC Member is keeping mighty quiet. Hopefully we'll soon...

The stock chargers (there are several) are 'rapid chargers'. They cutoff charge when it's complete. Do not discharge the battery more than necessary to make vapor. Recharge when they get weak, don't discharge completely ever, this is very hard on this kind of battery. It will wreck it early...

Understood. It's kind of natural, really, given what you're trying to do. However, you'll get much better using two batteries for burn offs. Not only will you get more seconds at higher temperatures in the screen but by swapping batteries you lower the heat build up in each. And you can...

Your mistake, some of us are honorably retired. And we're not all here by any means. Ataxian is probably hanging out over in Solo Land. Or else he's out breaking more glass. And Sinclue......or Sinclue. He's in a parallel universe we think, seldom seen and even less often understood. And...
