fishguy1123 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I ordered one and it arrived last Friday. Out of the box it was acting up. Detected a battery in bay 1 when it was empty, wasn't charging when it did have one in it. After swapping batteries back and forth (All brand new batteries) it just started working. I charged 2 VTC4 Sony's and 2 AWIMR 18490's no problem. I put them back in over the weekend just to see if it was going to act up and all seemed well. My ZNA showed up yesterday and I ran one of the VTC4's down so I put it on bay one of the charger earlier. Started fine, charged for over 3 hrs next to me and then all of a sudden acted up again. Unplugged it, battery out, plugged it back in and it still showed it had a batt in it. Now it's back to charging normally....... Hmm....
joejoevapekins Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Send it back for a replacement. Compenstine 1
fishguy1123 Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 It's going back today. I'm just hoping these don't have glitches in them overall.
Compenstine Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Good luck, I hope you get a working one this time.
fishguy1123 Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks, I trust the vendor so I'm sure it's not due to them. Just one of those things...
bcartervol98 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Back when I used an APV I had a Nitecore 2 bay charger but cannot remember the model number and it performed flawlessly from the day I got it until I no longer had a need for it a few months later.
Earthling789 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I have two of the i4 chargers... one is about 6-months old, and the other is a couple of years old... Both are flawless chargers, and my only complaint is that bay-4 on the newest one sometimes has the negative contact "stick". Nothing that a little lube won't fix, though... I almost bought a D4, but some of the reviews I read said the same thing you've said about intermittent function, and that they try to charge "ghosts". For that reason (and the higher price of the D4), I went with another i4. I hope your replacement functions perfectly....
joejoevapekins Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I've had my i2 over a year and its still banging out. Need a new lipo charger spilled coffee on mine lol
fishguy1123 Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 I was going to get the I2 at first, but it was only $3 more for the D2 and had the digital display. It's in the mail on it's way back now so I guess I'll find out next week when the replacement gets here. I was able to charge all my batts this morning beforehand though, and have my backup devices so I'm not left hanging at all.
fishguy1123 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Posted January 13, 2015 I have to give Sweet-Vapes a huge thank you for an immediate turn around on my charger. They received it on sat and shipped the replacement on the same day. I received it today and it seems to be good out of the box. VapeMama and Compenstine 2
joejoevapekins Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 That's good news. The zna will be happy now lol
NCHornet Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Another good charger to look at is the VTAR VC2, I am really liking mine. YMMV?
