Hey everyone,
Finally received all my parts from China and found the time to finish assembling my FrankenVape vape station for my Focus vaporizers.
Here are some pics:
It's alive!!!
This glow is really UV not blue, and glows radioactive green when off.
A closer look at the front.
And the...
@MoltenTiger : Thanks for the info, to bad was hoping I could have some extra fun when my grasshopper arrives.
Might give it a try when these http://www.ifocusvaporizer.com/home/cpzxdet/13.html are available, maybe have to use a concentate form though.
Looks like it should work according to...
@lovecrush :Thanks alot, I wonder if those are in house chips, or LM242 chips with the L and what looks like the begining of the M etched off?
I really like the circuitry design of the GH, interesting in the least.
My point being that the voltmeter of the Nitecore is not perfectly accurate. Good chargers, lots use them just not the best IMO.
And under charging a li-ion battery by just 100mv results in about a 10% decrease in capacity.
Read the 4th paragraph on this page...
@Skywalker OG :As they seem to have made up your mind for you, as Caroline says take a video. My :2c: would be when you receive your Grasshopper, take an uboxing video and repeat the error all in one shoot. Then video the same error with one of your original batteries and send it to them...

It doesn't matter one multimeter, two multimeters or straight out of the charger they read the same.
I only took a pic like that to show the readings together for proof of the differences and that the two multimeters are the correct readings. All five of my multimeters have ony 0.01V...
@Skywalker OG : That totally sucks for you, what a shitty situation to be in.
But I can say this about 2 authentic Nitecore chargers I use and tested.
Neither unit charges to the proper voltage.
Both take all 18650 batteries to 4.20V at full charge, but when testing the fully charged batteries...
Measuring the amp draw on the battery side shouldn't be a problem with a decent multimeter.
As this is steady DC.
An analog meter is useful in such situations as it 'absorbs' the fluctuations seen in a digital meter.
I use this for these types of measurements:
It has 2 studs on the back for...
If you have two multimeters and can do a voltage reading at the same time as an amp reading we can get an accurate wattage usage.
*edit: Or if you have only one, after the amp reading, take a voltage reading while in use and note the lowest voltage read.
For those wondering how an 18650 can discharge @ 15a or greater, check this page:

Scroll down to where it says "Chart of C ratings vs size" and read from there.
*edit: If @Joel W. could put a multimeter in series with his pack and take a...
While the solder of a device used for inhalation that contains trace amounts of lead or other toxic materials poses little threat at these lower end of the spectrum temps when new.
The importance of the MSDS is to know what will be contained in the corrosion of these solder joints if it occurs...
