I don't know if it has an overcharge protection built in, and haven't found anything that would conclusively inform me. So yes for that exact reason, the safe side of caution and all that.
It seems they have protection built in.

Hi guys I'm Muhammad, been vaping on and off for about a year but got serious into it a month ago (trying to get off the stinkies), all previous gear has been rehomed and my current setup consists of:
-RX200 (black and red, upgraded firmware to 250w)
-Griffin 22 RTA (black)
-DotMod Petri V2 with the Dotcap (black)
-3 Samsung 25r's
-3 LG HG2's
-Nitecore D4 charger
I've tried a variety of e liquids both international and local, international is an occasional treat but local is lekker, for me personally all Paulie's e liquid and a long list of favorites from The E Liquid Project keeps me happy and doesn't hurt the pocket too much ☺

Welcome kiwi,Crockett,Shaheed and to all new members! ENJOY THE FORUM!
Moey Ismail,You're off to a good start w/ that set up.Luck to ya'
Most welcome to the forum. You are as well set up as a vaper can be - maybe a backup for your RX? Congrats on kicking the stinky habit. Happy vaping.
Hello everyone.
My names Marcelino.
I'm from Paarl.
First time vaper.
I bought my first unite a week ago.
Stopped smoking stinkies for 5years.
Started vaping as a hobby for fun and to move away from the bubbly(okka).

Most welcome to the forum. Yip, bubbly also about burning stuffs. All the best with your vaping journey. Shout if you have any questions. Only dumb questions around here are the ones not asked. Happy vaping.
Welcome @MarcelinoJ! I'm seeing more and more people coming to vaping via the bubbly. Good to have you on board. Have a look around: I'm sure you will find something here that will make you go "ooh".
Howdy. From Joburg/Centurion. Been vaping off and on for a couple of years, via 3 different basic pen-style starter kits. Haven't been overly successful with them, to be honest. Recently got a couple of MPT3s and so far I'm impressed. They seem to be quite a step up! Of course my old pen-style batteries have now started to give up on me, and were not overly powerful to begin with, which I was told might be the reason my MPT3s with replacement VOCC = virtually zero flavour. So I'm looking into a 'proper' setup soon - trawling through a million and one reviews of each though trying to decide on which. Looks like a Kanger Topbox Mini kit is on the cards (unless anyone here gives me a reason to not go that route?).
Be warned - I have zero fear about asking a zillion noob questions, so might be rather chatty
. Especially seeing as I haven't been overly successful with gear up till now.

The Topbox Mini is a great kit. Another to consider is the iStick Pico with Melo 3 Mini. Available here (Topbox) and here (Pico) at good prices.
All the best with your vaping journey. Please keep us updated.
Thanks Andre. Someone did recommend the Pico/Melo 3 Mini kit to me today, so I've just started researching it. A few online reviews seem to mention a lack of flavour with it though. Will read up more on it though to see if that's a few isolated opinions. Anyone here use it and have thoughts on that? Keen on that one too as it's quite a bit cheaper than the Topbox kit.
Hello everyone
I tried quitting in 2009, buying a Twisp kit for the princely sum of R1400. It did help a little but I soon tired of the short battery life, the tiny clouds and the not-very-good flavour, so I lapsed into the cigs again. I was much more successful giving up on 3 Jan this year, and haven't had tobacco since. That was only possible due to vaping. I wish today's devices had been available much earlier as I could have quit smoking earlier. But better late than never, I guess.
I wasn't a particularly heavy smoker, around 15 a day. I haven't become a heavy vaper either. I vape about 2ml of liquid a day and a single 18650 (iStick 60W TC mod) last me well over a day. I read about people finishing a 30ml bottle of juice in one day and that frazzles my brain. I can understand how people get into the dripping and cloud-chasing as it's a very appealing prospect. If you want to do something, going big is the goal. But it's not for me. When I started vaping, I immediately started looking at 200W mods, RDTAs and so on. I'm too chicken to try an unregulated mod, with my luck I'll blow my face off, lol. But I wanted the top gear that tank vapers were raving about. When Rip Trippers gets all excited and hyper about an RDTA, you just want it too. The guy sure can sell a product.
Then I read a post on another vaping forum in which the poster said "I'm done with chasing the tech. I'm back to a single 18650 mod, single and higher-resistance coils, cooler vape, smaller clouds, good flavour." And that just about sums me up too. On my Melo 2 tank, I mouth-to-lung with completely closed airflow. When I open the airflow (and it's just a crack, 2mm or so) and do a direct-to-lung, it makes *too much* vapour for me. I not only exhale a huge cloud but am still blowing out vapour for a few breaths after the exhale. As long as I get a cloud that is comparable with a tobacco puff, I'm happy.
Anyway, nice to meet you all, and hoping that I'll learn much from the experienced vapers on the forum.

I have just started up my Melo 3 Mini. Using the RBA (rebuildable) deck. Have only vaped one juice (which I know well) in it and the vape is flavoursome for me. It uses the same commercial coils as the iJust 2, Aspire Atlantis, and others - have not seen any report on here that these are problematic other than that members seem to prefer the 0.3 ohm commercial coils. I tend to stay away from standard commercial coils and prefer the rebuildable option.
That said, the Topbox kit is tried and trusted, whilst the Pico kit is the new kid on the block. Building your own coils is probably easier (and more versatile) on the Topbox rebuildable deck than that of the Melo 3. The small size of the Pico kit is unbeatable at this stage.

Welcome @Stooge and @RichJB ! Hope you guys enjoy your stay!
I would go with the Topbox, but i'm a bit of a skank for Kangertech products I don't think you'll complain about the Pico though, it's a great piece of kit!
@RichJB - My favourite setup is still my 0.7ohm subtank and subox mini, simple, easy, always wanting more!

Hi all still new to vaping i am from Gauteng been smoking since 13 now 47.So far i have been falling more off the wagon than staying on,think i have more bruises than anything else lol.Trying iJust 2 which is not bad cannot afford modbox yet unemployed.Think that about covers everything except the damn stinkies.
Welcome @blackheart
Thanks sure will keep trying.
Hi guys. I'm Falco Swanepoel.
It's been about 7 months since I started vaping. Before that I had been smoking since I was 15. Vaping changed my life. Vape King helped me get into vaping confortably and now I'm building fused clapton coils and am a small local juice vendor. Have been mixing juices since roughly the end of January. Will post more about F41 eJuice when I feel the products are perfect and ready to be able to delivered nationally.
I'm currently vaping on my twisted messes squared and kangertech K-box aswell as my DNA 50 Hana Mods clone with the Delta II with the RBA atomizer imported from the States.
Excited to become part of the community.
