Good timing, all the above advice. A word to the wise? If you're lucky enough to catch the mailman in the act of delivery and you tear apart the cold cold package with your hot little hands and the battery in your 'hopper needs charging...Maybe it just needs to warm up. So with my regular...
Newbie owner here with first impressions. Nice out of the box experience, classy packaging, but where is my leather sleeve? And shipping the batteries in a plastic bag; I mean a very nice little bag, but how about a box to store these batteries safely? Still, it's gorgeous. Took awhile to...
Finally got an update. You folks who were tossing and turning, just unable to sleep wondering can now. ;) Thanks for the good thoughts. It's just a walk across the park away!

Not until just now. You sir a troublemaker of the highest order! Me like. OK, confession time, I used to like "kissing" my MFLB way back in the day too so this feels just like that except better in every way. ;)
EDIT: Works best of course flipped 180 from the normal travel position (IMHO)...
So it sounds like the new chargers work fine and charging on my trusty D2 should be fine too. We'll see how much use it gets. I can see how the screwing on and off will get old quickly but I also know that at least for a few days (or until it breaks...) I'll be giving it heavy use. What with...
I know...I said I was gone. ;) One more rant? Not my first against the post office; I ordered some glass from Colorado and same thing so maybe it's just Denver, but this tracking just ain't right...:lol:

@XiolaOne: I find the silicone mouthpiece alone is not too hot and fine for "out and about", but for home use I use an improvised mouthpiece. Any 14mm female piece of glass should work, I'm using a 14/18 DDave cyclone bowl, but I'm sure there are more stylish options. Actually I kind of like...
Dude, you're in the EQ forum; of course we're going to recommend it! It's a great first plug in especially if "hopped up" with a DDave kit. Get one with the new 45 degree glass so you can use it as a mouthpiece for direct draw and then just put a bag with the 10mm mouthpiece in for a glass on...
@Purple Lava Lamp : Yeah, that's probably why I haven't written. The best I could do would be "passive aggressive"...Oh wait, that's probably what I'm doing now. ;)
So munch, not trying to bust your chops or anything but your battery cover photo looks like the illustration in the CAUTION-forcing the battery cover on when improperly seated can break the battery cover handout (check your box). The caption reads "Small gap, battery cover improperly seated"...
I'm just making this up in my head as I go along but I've decided they ship once a week, Friday, and I just missed this week's shipment so for sure NEXT Friday I'll get my shipping notification. Yep, I'm a glass half full kind of guy these days. Why I bet within 2 weeks I'll actually have...
Nada here and I'm less than a week behind Hjalmark. Maybe the squeaky wheel approach works; haven't tried emailing them myself. For sure "next week". :lol:
Hagbard asks: so is it okay to leave them on there?
The conventional wisdom is not to leave the batteries charging unattended. Yes there are protection circuits but the consequences of a battery fire are such that some of us just don't take chances. I had an 18650 charging in my D2, but as...
Yeah I had noticed that on mine too, the tubes aren't chamfered at all (is that the word?). I rounded mine down a bit with some wet/dry paper, then dug out a little file when I realized the paper would take forever. Smoothed it with 400 grit though and the tubes slide in and out a little...
Hagbard asked:Have you noticed any functional differences between the 25rs and the LG HG2s?
The LG seems to be a touch more powerful, but if you were to blindfold and test me, I probably couldn't tell the difference. One of my LGs is at least a hundred cycles newer than the others though and...
Big fan of the "puck" method here. Rough tear, no grind, pack hard. After a good pull or two, push the puck out (my faithful dowel) and reverse it. Take a few more and now it's time to "stir". Actually I dump the puck, do a quick crumble and discard any wood and repack with a light tamp...
Ah, probably just a refinement then. Something on his site about a hot carnuba wax and oil final coat maybe? Oh well, next one I'll try to finish myself...
