Ok folks, beyond a shadow of a doubt the Inh05 is an amazing tool and worth the wait. It just suffers from what I published before and now I can claim it will not matter if you have a 3A USB charger, the Inh05 is going to take a long time to charge the battery. For why and how, just keep plodding along with the BarnBoy…
@hiphiphooray – Thanks for the advice man! The issue here with the Inh05 is no direct measure of battery life other than learned subjective inference of how the thing recovers and/or if it recovers. No doubt in my mind that a fully charged battery brings out the most of the Inh05. And what I saw this morning was an amazing recovery rate when additionally plugged in and fully charged! And yes painfully I discovered that once the Inh05 can’t recover when plugged into a charger, then unplugged lights will dim. So far, I have operated 95% of the time while on a good 1.5A or more USB charger or just charging…
So yes folks after 14 hours of additional charging on a 2 amp rated Apple iPad charger, my Inh05 finally indicated a full charge this morning. I verified full charge by unplugging and plugging back to the charger; charger light remained out! Let’s see now, 14 hours and 2 amps, that would be 28,000mAh. Ahhh something ain’t right here and my charge rates match
@ElPic on a computer port…
First sign is neither the Ino05 nor the charger was ever warm to the touch while charging. Though 2 amps is possible, it is clear 2 amps was not flowing. I ordered more USB cables today as one discovery is that the cable that came with the Inh05 is total junk (ok, mine was). It doesn’t fit properly and may have been part of my cause for not having a full charge sooner. I will use said cable to measure actual USB currents and report back…
So today’s experiment was how long to full charge post dual back-2-back sessions (18 minutes operation) when on a 2 amp charger. After 5 hours the Inh05 still was not indicating full charge; OUCH! All indications are that no matter what kind of charger you toss at the Inh05, it will only trickle charge the battery. Don’t waste your money on an expensive high power USB charger or high current cables…
From what I can find, the Samsung battery that came with mine is rated at 3000mAh. So 14 hours to get this puppy charged means the Inh05 is limiting to ¼ amp or less. Again we will see soon enough…
Well another happy discovery was starting the Inh05 in the highest setting, and running it through a water bong that I have used for over 20 years. But only after I removed the 30 years of combusted gunk. Fond memories and excellent results made this a very magical discovery. Flavor was better than expected if not the best experienced as of date. Will definitely try this one again real soon; old and new friends…
Vape more, for life is way too short…
