Actually, the usual advice on this is in the 60 to 70% range. It will slowly decay over years, but still be OK years later is the general idea. As to what is normal use and what is storage, that sure seems like a personal call to me. I tend to avoid it by not fully charging unless I'm about...

I've already said what I think of the idea. A couple of times. At least I think I did. At least once before and once after getting one to figure out. But here it is again, JMO (and why). First off, let's give due credit here: This is a feature that 'we' asked for. Perhaps not demanded...

I think the PIU version is an older design, they haven't had LEDs in the latest versions. I'm not sure how important that is. In any event, it won't work with the floating connector. There there's 'nothing electrical' in the stand proper. Floating means it's not fixed to the body (although...

It's a feature folks have been asking for for years. I like having mine upright so I can see the lights easily. It's nice to not have to rummage around for the cable end (the base is always in the same spot). Pipes developed his stand (over a year or so and several models) in response to...

An excellent question. My 'take' is it has to do with the season than how long it's been since the last sale? IIRC there's a series of great offers from several makers that seem to start happening around Thanksgiving? It's a tough call, the sooner you get it the sooner you can start enjoying...

I'm sorry you don't understand, but asking the same question over and over is wasting my time and Forum bandwidth. Take it off line if you wish, but I will not respond to this topic here again. OF

Please see my post five above yours for the second time I answered this....... OF

Yes, the tail cap contains the switch......that end. No, the tab did not extend far enough to reach the threads. No, brass would not gall the SS, but it would jam them up if it got a chance. OF

It's not attached as I said. The strap was clamped against it......... OF

I didn't attach it, I clamped it in place by folding a tab over at the bottom and catching that with the tail cap. OF

I agree, IMO it's that a torch is easier to control. The heat is more stable, concentrated and directional. In reality it's exactly the same total heat (as long as you're burning the candle flame cleanly, not making soot) since the gas volume and reactions are the same. You can see this on...

Well I wasn't....... OF

Yes, it's an additional hassle (although IMO not a huge one if you work on your technique), but it does significantly improve performance......or thinking folks wouldn't continue to use them. We would only continue to use them if we thought the benefit outweighed the hassle. And of course you...

On you? I would look marvelous.......no doubt about it...... OF

Sorry to meet you under such sad conditions, but I agree with the Brother above. They are indeed in a class by themselves in many areas. Not a vape for the masses perhaps, but the successful evolution of the T1 and Evolution with most of the chronic issues under control. An unfortunate loss...

Bypassing up the outside is something I looked into in the past. The problem is very high current (about 4 Amps) and tiny contact paths, and through SS as well. The four screws are tiny in true cross section, IMO you need all four if you want to stand a chance. My best attempt used four short...

Really serious owners get the tip of one finger ground down to fit. Usually a 'pinky'. For the less dedicated grab a small piece of it with your hemostats (since you no longer need a roach clip.....), with some sticking out the end and have at it. Very traditional trick. Also works well with...

You can 'flame' it but not that way. Silicone Carbide is really tough stuff, getting it hot past the surface isn't easy. It's both a good insulator (meaning heat gets through slowly) and a large thermal mass (meaning it's going to take a lot of heat to raise the temperature of the whole thing...

Actually 'mid range' is exactly what you want. For this class of batteries the makers recommend storage at about 70% of charge, higher actually leads to shorter service life strange as that seems. The routine charge until the top light lights but the charge light is still flashing advice is...

Both, I think. Personally, if it's a fresh load with nice flavor I pull the stem to try to preserve the taste. Otherwise letting it coast doesn't cost anything WRT getting full benefit from the goods. So I usually take a last hit or two as it cools and leave it in place. Yer welcome...
