Back to work after three weeks leave tomorrow. At least I have a EXO RTA tank, a bottle of Cotton Candy and various spools of SS316L wire incoming. Pity they do not deliver on Saturdays, tomorrow is going to be a looooong day.

What problems are you experiencing with the D4?
My problem in Ladybrand is TCG only delivers on Monday's, Wednesday and Friday's. So I must plan my buying accordingly not to freak out
I quite like the xtar stuff.
I just got the queen ant 6bay xtar.
I prefer the vp4 voltage readout but for a 6 bay charger with 4x1amp charge bays that's a winner for me.
On the charger topic, I have a Luc 6 bay charger, if you charge 26650 batteries must you set the charger to 2amp?
They will just charger faster at 2A. If you are not in a rush then charge then at 1A or 500mA. Slower chargers generally mean longer life span of the batteries.
Some new clothes for my R200

I saw the Xtar MC6 6 bay was available, but went with the Old Skol WP6II 6 bay instead because I don't like chargers that use sliders to hold the batts. The trick was finding a new one that didn't cost an arm and a leg. I got that done as I bought this one for about one fourth (25%) of what they ask for them here now days when you find a new one available here.
My previous xtar had a slider that broke.
Good to know since I only charge 18650s. Will keep an eye out for a non slider charger.
That makes infinite amounts of sense !
The battery bay sliders. Had the same problem with a LUC4 that the D4 replaced. They get out of whack, bind or even have the internal spring come off and can easily damage batt wraps. If it's like the LUC you can't get inside them without breaking them apart. The D4 will do up to two 26650 batts in the 2 outside bays. The one bay I put 26650's in 3-4 times is now bound up, a sure sign if like the LUC that the internal spring is already jammed up. That's why I ordered another old technology Xtar even though it can't do the 26650's. I'm fine with that though as I don't really care much about the so called HE mod those batts were bought for, the batts themselves or the RTA also bought just for that mod.
The Xtar WP6II doesn't use sliders, just a positive contact = negative end spring and removable positive end spacers for smaller than 18650 batts.
Yip, same problem on the one I have. The D2 however slides very smooth. The availability of "non slider" chargers is new to me and glad to know such are available, thanks.

Damn that makes so much sense... it's the one thing I have hated loathed and detested... and that's the slider on a charger!
I have 2 Xtar WP2II 2 bay chargers that are near 4 years old and have never missed a beat ('cept one of them is over at a gal pals house for when I stayed there). But I also have 2 LUC 2 bay chargers that are about the same age, have sliders that have never caused me any problems. I keep one in my truck that I can power off it's DC Recep or cig lighter if I need to charge a batt when out and about.
Same here, and they are hard on battery wraps. My eight HG LG2's look like chipped brown and silver turds. I only use them in the Minikins, so it's not a short problem, but they look like hell.
I'm waiting for a youtube video I paused on Friday to finish buffering.
More DIY supplies bought today that should be here Wednesday.
Also still waiting for the Xtar WP6II that was supposedly shipped from Hong Kong March 5th. That turned out to be a bold face lie, it was not. After kicking the sellers ass up around his shoulders 3X the past few days it was supposedly shipped today (3/20). So I may finally have it in about 10-11 days. It's arrival will be the death sentence for my new Nite Core D4 that IMO is a POS.

Bought some HE gear this morning that is coming from Greece to use on some of my older mech gear mostly, plus another 22mm RDA from them w/extra squonk pin for the older mechs, Reos, TC Mods and maybe an E-Pipe if I figure out which of them I'm interested in. With their customer service I should have them in hand by Friday afternoon/Saturday, or no later than Monday.
Speaking of customer service... the package from HK that was due in hand 3/16 still has not shipped like it was promised shipped this time on 3/20. So the damn seller lied again.
