I agree, PV is great for vape products, however, as with DashVapes, the overall cost for 3 cells with shipping ends up at well over $50 bucks. That's just too rich for me. The US mentioned suppliers are much cheaper, specially if buying a few, as it's the shipping that hurts. The Canadian...

That makes sense and also what I though. But here are the ones that I've looked at and think the ratings are mostly bullshit for the specs from China and the weight is likely a better guide. These Tiger batteries will be the ones in the initial batch. These VOK ones are also ones I have and...

I tighten the coil up to fit snug up against the glass tube. To do this I use a piece of dowelling sanded down to just under that of the glass tube. This process adds about 1 1/2 turns or so. I then do unwrap it back to the 10 turn which is the original number. So I end up cutting about 3 inches...

I've looked quite a bit for a Canadian supplier with no luck. At least that aren't outrageously priced. If you find please post. I end up biting the bullet and get from Liion Wholesale and get a few to even out the shipping cost.

It looks like you might be a winding or two shy however should still work. Did you clean all the enamel off the end of the coil that you cut? Using those supplied screw down connectors is not really recommended. I'm surprised it's still working after a sizzle. Those FET drivers short in a...

Sorry guys, tracking only for US and Canada. International still goes by air (around 10 days), but no tracking. :cool:

Please shoot me a PM and we'll see what's happened.

Yes, named the power switch a kill switch as doesn't ever need to be turned off unless something goes wrong and don't like the smell of burning electronics. :evil:

Sound right so far. The little charger has a light to indicate charging. Red while charging and will go to green when done. The battery indicator only shows when you press the test button. This unit draws zero power in standby so there is no standby indicator. Enjoy as it is likely fully...

Installing the Batteries: Only 4 screws need to be removed. Looking from the front the two screws on the right and turning the unit around again the two screws on the right. Unit will slide open as shown. Install batteries and re-insert the screws careful not to cross thread. Use flat top...

That sound right to me. The Portside and the charger. Please read the FAQ and install your batteries. Charge em, and enjoy. ;)

Unfortunately, not good news. If the power is dropping when kill switch is turned on, this indicates the unit is shorted even without pressing the dipping switch. This is new and will need to come back to me for repair. Specially since the symptom changed some, points to more then one problem...

:nod: Made them both. Not my thing really, but figured I'd give it a go.

I would be me. lol. Laser engraving is kind of cool.

@ClearBlueLou, as @xlr8shun stated, it sounds like no power from the battery/BMS unit. For sure check battery polarities. The two outer cells should be + down and center cell + up. If this is not the issue, please take a couple close up shots of the BMS wiring and send to me via a PM. I admit, I...

Welcome to the club! Definitely some fun to be had. The FET is so a light tactile type switch can be used. You want just a little pressure to active the coil. The switch is activated by dipping the VC in and acts as a dead mans switch so there is little chance of the device being left on. You...

This has being reported before and the fix seems to be not to touch the back of the BMS board. There are a couple solder pads for an optional temperature sensor to force protection mode in case of over heating. Touching around this area trips the protection. Inserting the charger resets it. Let...

It for safety for the most part. If something goes south in the heater, it's the BMS that prevents the problem from getting into a smoky or even a fire situation. This particular board also has a balancing circuit to help keep the batteries aging evenly. Generally, if over two cells are used in...

If the same vintage, should be fine.

So I've PMed everyone on the Portside Batch 3 list. If I missed anyone, please let me know. Batch 4 will be out in 4-6 weeks and list is about 1/2 full. The mini is now in the beta stage and as far as electrically and enclosure fitting go, all is as expected. :nod: So the main fears are now...
