Jolly Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 i don't get the obsession with LED and an Ecig. even modders toss them into their projects. if you are vaping you can tell when you are. well, unless you are brain dead. the led really has no function that to light up to attract attention. an led indicator of "yo i am dieing, charge me up stupid" would be the only thing i could think that would function with a "good" purpose. (though i wouldn't want that either).
Brian Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 (edited) Different strokes for different folks. Took me a while to get use to not having an LED when I switched to the SB. The LED on the Joker gives an indication of how much battery life you have left, and I like that. Edited July 16, 2010 by Brian
Bigjim Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 I agree Jolly, they don't seem to have much purpose. I do like the battery indicator concept though. I know the Joker led will change color when the battery changes to a different voltage (if I read that right) and I think that's an awesome idea. For typical vapin' an led is kinda pointless. I, however, plan to scoop up a birthday unit in the next couple months, and I'm looking for the biggest, baddest, device that I can be proud of! Something that shoots stars out of it every time I toot on it! Something that lights up like a disco-ball when in use! LoL Something that says for itself, "Must be a special night tonight, he's bringin' out the rocket ship"! LoL, other than that, out and about, no LED needed.
FTJoe Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 I used to flip the battery around in my spade so it didn't show, then after a while I didn't, Oooohhhh - pretty lights. I think it's just an outgrowth of the fake tip on "digital fire" that ecigs had.
Mark Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Not to be disagreeable but, I disagree--LOL. I like the leds if for no other reason than troubleshooting. If the led is out, the battery is dead, if the led is lighting and I'm not getting a vape, it is the atty. If I ever wanted to stealth vape I can just turn the battery around in my mods then, no lights. Also, If you're not familiar with my mods, the led serves dual purpose--It can also be used as a flashlight for those late night bathroom trips or to land planes on remote landing strips--LOL
Burn Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 The Buzz and the new Precious also have LEDs for the purpose of voltage change and/or battery power. Battery indicators are really handy to have with mods, I do think they make alot of sense when part of that application. for standard e-cigs, there is little dispute that noobs like them, I know I did at first, then like the first time I held a sparkler as a kid, after 10 minutes I was bored with it....
Jolly Posted July 16, 2010 Author Posted July 16, 2010 i haven't hear of these led mods that change under different volts. going to have to look that up. is it the led or a few leds used to do this?
FTJoe Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 I think the Joker does it (vaprlife). And now I remember why I started using it the correct way, I screwed up my spade and wasn't sure if it was the atty, contact or the wiring so it is a good indication of that as well, to Mark's point.

It's just a cool factor for some. I would love to have one with a big, bad, bright, GREEN LED like this !!!
benjamin1990 Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 i totally agree with Mark on this one!!! yep i love the LED and it helps me find things in the dark!

Burn Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 (edited) i haven't hear of these led mods that change under different volts. going to have to look that up. is it the led or a few leds used to do this? multiple leds and i forgot to cite the joker as well Edited July 17, 2010 by Burn
Jolly Posted July 17, 2010 Author Posted July 17, 2010 well, i guess i'll have to make one just for you guys and bedazzled to hell and back
ThaHodgehound Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 ROFL!! Wasn't a Bedazzler one of those girly tools sold on TV to dress up jeans and such with sequins or something!?!?!?!
benjamin1990 Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 ROFL!! Wasn't a Bedazzler one of those girly tools sold on TV to dress up jeans and such with sequins or something!?!?!?! lmao i think so!
Jolly Posted July 17, 2010 Author Posted July 17, 2010 lol, yeah. just wait till you see this next mod. it's just for you LED lovers.. now i just need some leds.
Bigjim Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 lol, yeah. just wait till you see this next mod. it's just for you LED lovers.. now i just need some leds. LoL, lookin' forward to it!
Stirfry Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 i like the LEDs for all the reasons listed already (they are cool, troubleshooting, battery life - i have a Buzz too - and so on), but they also notify the bartender or cop that you are not smoking a cigarette (or a little bong or pipe). i have had bartenders look over at me from way across the bar when they see the "smoke", and i hold on the PV and hit the trigger a few times to flash the LED... and they nod their head and go on about their business. i loved the "ring of light" my Spade, but now i don't because sometimes i want to cover them up without flipping the battery. it's easy to slide a finger over a single LED like the Buzz or Joker or most other mods.
Jeffb Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 I like LED's. One thing I would change on the eGo is the LED placement. I hate having the light covered up with my finger.
NeRo9k Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Different stokes for different folks I guess. It doesn't bother me either way, but I can see why people like and also dislike LEDs. Edit: Jeff, the LED on the ego used to be a thin strip around where the current button is. I thought it looked a lot cooler.
