Reddit reviews Nitecore D2 Charger with LCD Display Universal Smart Charger For Rechargeable Batteries IMR/Li-ion/LiFePO4/Ni-MH/Ni-Cd

Most important things would probably be

1.) Hold it upside down when you clean the main chamber by swabbing with a q-tip dipped in ISO.

2.) Use a high % ISO. 91% or higher is best. 71% isn't terrible, but avoid anything lower. (I saw at Walmart they had 50%, like what the actual fuck, who wants to pay for 50% water?)

3.) Let the thing COMPLETELY DRY after cleaning. Take it apart and let it air dry for like at least 30 minutes.

4.) I highly recommend getting an external Nitecore charger and some extra batteries, but if you do use the cable I wouldn't recommend leaving it unattended. It even says in the manual to not let it charge unattended and plug it into a surge protector. You want to be there to unplug it in case something fucks up.

With the external chargers you won't have to worry about that. Leaving batteries unattended on a Nitecore charger is safe because they are loaded with safety features and come from a very reputable company. Also, you can charge up to 4 batteries at a time and still use a different battery in your Hopper.

5.) Don't soak the Silicone condom in ISO unless you are OK with it turning a yellow/brown color. Just swab it with a Q-tip dipped in ISO.

6.) If something isn't working right like the straight to blue issue or it isn't heating up quite as much as it used too, then look at the battery contact on your back-end. If there is black gunk on the contact, carefully swab it with a Q-tip dipped in 91% ISO. Also, make sure the threads on the back are clean. Let it dry completely before using.

7.) Never ever ever ever let air be pushed into it. Like don't blow into it.



Also, Idk if you have heard of delta3dstudios and their awesome attachments yet, but their funnel that is designed for the Grasshopper is simply amazing. Makes loading a cinch and fits the GH perfectly and it is only $7(it was $8 when I got it). They also make other accessories for the GH as well as for other vapes.

Get an external charger. a 'nitecore d2' should be good for you.

Link for charger (usa based)

You might want an extra set of batteries. One can charge and the other can be in the mod.

The revenger x should stop charging by itself when full. The battery meter should show full. I would not do this though.

$18.50. It's a lot cheaper than having to keep buying new batteries because your mod's charging kills them, or buying a new mod because your overstressed batteries kill it.

Well I don't know what it is and I'm not a fan of in-cell charging. Here's a charger that's good and popular: https://www.amazon.com/Nitecore-Charger-Universal-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B00KW2ZDJO/ref=sr_1_3

What I do for all my lights is buy 2 batteries and keep a charged spare. When one runs out I swap in the charged spare and recharge the other and put it away into its box.

Good luck!

Here you go

EDIT: Or this

http://www.amazon.com/Nitecore-Charger-Universal-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B00KW2ZDJO

You can get a D2 for $16... Definitely worth having a decent charger... Depending on how "generic" the charger is, there may be issues with uneven charging, incompatibility with different types of batteries, etc... I, personally, wouldn't risk it for a couple dollars...

I updated the thread because I found my charger. It's a Nitecore Digicharger D2.

I'd go with the d2 personally. The i2 is fine, but for a couple bucks more, the digital screen is very nice. The i2 just has a few bars to display charge percentage.

If you get the d2, use this link from Amazon instead...

Make sure you pick the one sold from direct from Amazon. It's only 19 cents more, and you 100% know it's authentic.

^That's ^why ^I'm ^here, ^I ^don't ^judge ^you. ^PM ^/u/xl0 ^if ^I'm ^causing ^any ^trouble. ^WUT?

Stop.

Throw the battery away safely and dispose of the charger. It is trash.

Get this this charger.

I only use 18650s, so I'm not sure what to recommend for 18350s. Perhaps eFests (even though they are just rewrapped)

Exactly what col0ringbook said and you should be ready to rock. I don't know about a charging "dock" for the batteries but you could find a nice charger on amazon. Something like this or something from xtar would serve your nicely https://www.amazon.com/Nitecore-Charger-Universal-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B00KW2ZDJO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504631083&sr=8-1&keywords=nitecore+charger+d2

If it's worth anything, i've owned my P12 for about 6 months and find it worth $50 in every way. Im pretty sure both will serve you well.

The voltage indicator i find very useful. Just hold mode and click on/off button and instantly know if you're good to go or not.

The 1 lumen mode is fine for me. I use it to read at night from time to time. I dont sleep next to anyone so i cant comment on whether or not they'll be distracted or not.

I havent used any of the 'special' modes on the P12 seriously, other then to scare my friends when they are on their computer's. Though the beacon could be useful when you're changing a tire on a dark road.

These are apparently good batteries, I dont have them personally but this has been linked quite a few times in other forums. What i bought were Nitecore's own branded 2300mAh 18650's. Not worth the premium really but are just as good as any other quality batteries.

I also own the Nitecore D2 charger. Works perfectly fine for me. Alot of people seem to dislike slow chargers such as this so take that into consideration. Charging from 3.43v to 4.15v takes about 5 hours.

If you have anymore questions about the P12 feel free to ask.

it takes 18650 batteries. I have 2 of these, and a battery charger

I find I can start on the second temperature setting, when you have it turned on you'll stay on for 90 seconds. so one battery charge I found will go from the 2nd to the 5th temperature setting till no vapor. and by having one in the charger I can swap it out when I want another bowl right away.

I also recommend to get half inch screens cover the herb chamber. like this. the worst thing ever is if it falls over in the top comes off and all the weed falls out. also, it keeps the screens cleaner.

edit I want to explain the way I use it because I believe it's the most efficient way.

so as I said I'll start on the blue 374F level. once the light is solid meaning the temperature is consistent, actually like to the wait about 20 or 30 seconds to let the weed really be saturated by the heat. as I said, it'll been stay on for 90sec, so I'll just use it turns off. then when I want another 90 seconds I may increase the temperature. I repeat this process until it produces no vapor at the top temperature.

better safe than sorry. spend the $20 on an external charger and an extra set of batteries and swap between the two. I plug mine in the bathroom, GFI outlets and tile in case of fire. there are also a bunch of reports of the usb ports being shitty and breaking, then you are shit out of luck.

Yerp that's the one

guessing you're in the USA since you didn't specify location

good cheap charger: link

good batteries (get two): link

there are a ton of mech mods out there, choice is yours pretty much. i'd look into the fufda or precise workhorse. both made in the USA and <$100. if you want something cheaper, there are tons of options out there.

i don't know how well the MVP2 reads resistance below 1 ohm, so you'll probably want an ohm reader.

Just a heads up I am new to this form, so no way a expert but I use this nitecore charger that was recommend on another form. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0096U26QQ/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have also saw others on here use this one with the LCD screen, if your into the numbers aspect. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KW2ZDJO/ref=psdc_10063711011_t1_B0096U26QQ

​

Now for banggood , I did use paypal and used my credit card on there so I have 2 companies backing me for fraud protection but just like ebay I think they are mostly safe with some venders being bad apples. Just be willing to wait a month for your light with no tracking because they never update it. The company selling this light though sells a lot every day so I would not worry with this vender. Hope that helps if you have anymore questions I would be glad to help :)

The kit comes with battery, just need a charger that works with 18650 batteries. Example: https://www.amazon.com/Nitecore-Charger-Universal-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B00KW2ZDJO/ref=pd_sbs_23_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00KW2ZDJO&pd_rd_r=WASXA71FG9GQ092A1NEG&pd_rd_w=WKuEq&pd_rd_wg=NPrmP&psc=1&refRID=WASXA71FG9GQ092A1NEG

Any separate chargers that you recommend? Something like this? http://www.amazon.com/Nitecore-Charger-Universal-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B00KW2ZDJO

LG MJ1 4-pack for $23 with coupon BLF is my suggestion, your zebralight has built in low voltage protection (not that it's an issue anyway IMO, unless you regularly forget you left a flashlight on overnight on your kitchen table).

If you get a nitecore light, you'll need button top batteries.

Do you have a charger?

Xtar VC4 <-- My Recommendation VP2 or VC2+

Nitecore D2 or D4

first thing first. Get an appropriate charger. The USB is pretty much only good for fixing your firmware. A better charger will determine/fix your battery issues. 0.35v and 5.85v are waaaay off, showing a dead/explosive battery.

The Nitecore i4 is excellent, but if you want a fancy one, the D2 is only a few dollars more.

next, try reinstalling the firmware for your rx200. You can get it here.

I've leaked juice into my reuleaux rx200 this week, I just wiped everything down and it was peachy again (ymmv). I can't promise anything, but lets see if this works.

Sure it will, you just need one of these. That DC port on my IPV D2 scares the hell out of me.

I have the nitecore d2, which is a dual bay charger. I've got only one light and realistically only buying 2 more in the future.
https://www.amazon.com/Nitecore-Charger-Universal-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B00KW2ZDJO

There's also the new nitecore ui2, which is more compact and allows for usb charging, but I can't vouch for it since I don't own it.

So far I'm happy with my d2.

Here's what I use... It doesn't totally fit the bill for you, but other readers who want an ultracheap, ultraversatile high end light setup for hiking may be interested.


Convoy S2: http://www.fasttech.com/products/1883302

Beam Diffuser: http://www.fasttech.com/product/1140010 (so you can use the light as a lamp at camp)

Red lens: http://www.fasttech.com/products/1630/10003970/1499103-nitecore-nfr25-25-4mm-filter-for-flashlights (don't quote me if it fits, reviews suggest it will)

Batteries: Up for debate, you want protected li-ion cells with the most mah's you can get. panasonic samsung sony aw etc are all good cells.

Bam. All in one you have an insanely bright and floody headlamp, a flashlight and a camping lamp, with no chance of dropping it while transitioning from headlamp to flashlight, a bit of water resistance, and no dirt/debris issues (like you would have with a zoomer.) The setup is great for people who want to take the approach of "flashlight that can be a headlamp." If you're looking for a headlamp that can double as a flashlight, zebra makes good ones and I'm sure nitecore would have some offerings.

IMO if you're not hiking through a place where you could buy AA/AAA batteries there's no reason you should not be using 18 li-ion cells. The only advantage to AA/AAA/cr setups is that you can pop into town and run your light off of batteries from the store shelf. If you're hiking the PCT or traveling away from home such a setup makes sense because there's towns and such along the way but if you're hiking a mountain or in the wilderness you'd be foolish not to be using 18 li-ion cells.

I'm a novice but based on all the info I've gathered the nitecore D2 digicharger is the most popular. Hope this helps. http://www.amazon.com/Nitecore-Charger-Universal-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B00KW2ZDJO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422638306&sr=8-1&keywords=nitecored2&pebp=1422638303927&peasin=B00KW2ZDJO

Honestly, this is the best deal you're going to find as long as you only need to charge two batteries at once. Spend the $16 now and never have to worry about it again.

I recommend something much more reputable like thisit will be safer and offers more features, plus much faster charging.

It's a good charger, but it doesn't display the voltage like this one does.

As a someone who is new to handling lithium ion batteries, it would be a good thing for you to know what the voltage is so you didn't wear your cell down to nothing. You will eventually keep track of it in your mind, and pretty much know when it needs charging by how much you use your light.

I'm just saying, buy a couple quality cells and at least a semi intelligent charger. Jumping into the world of lithium ion, you'll be glad you did, and you will have less worries and more fun.

Wow thank you for detailed response. Could you link me an adapter that is meant for the air? I can't see one jumping off the page :( sorry! No bother if you don't I'll keep looking.

This charger? https://www.amazon.ca/NiteCore-Charger-Universal-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B00KW2ZDJO

Okay, I think this is the flashlight I'm going to get. Follow-up question: what battery and charger should I get for it? From what I've read about this light, it will work with either button-top or flat-top, and it has built-in low-voltage protection, so I don't need a protected cell. As for the charger, I'm leaning toward either the Nitecore D2 or the Olight portable magnetic charger. Are either of these good choices?

I would suggest against a charger that doesn't have a make and model on the charger itself. What do you think of the Nitecore D2?

I'd also like to recommend for you a Nitecore D2 charger and purchase some good batteries over at www.illumn.com, I personally use Samsung 25r's but you can check out Mooch's battery list for other great cells. Battery safety should be a priority but it's really nothing to worry about as long as you have a good charger and good batteries.
