Clear on Chuck/Little Chuck

[SeaburyNorton]

Hello, all!

I'm new to the world of Chucking, but not vaping. I currently own 510s, a Protege, 808s, etc...

I'm liking what I see with the Chucks, and I really want to purchase one. The only thing I need is a bit of clarity on the difference between chuck and little chuck...

From what I've read, I understand that:

The "Chuck" *big* is a slightly larger device, capable of HV vaping.
The "Little Chuck" is a 3.7 only device. (I'm really NOT interested in HV vaping, just strong, reliable 3.7v vaping.)
Both are of the same build quality.
It can take a month to get it after ordering (I'm in the US).

If I am correct in my understanding, this is the same type of model choice as the Prodigy/Protege offerings (sorry 'bout the other mention)

If the *big* chuck can vape at 3.7, what is the benefit/difference of a *little* chuck?

I'm ordering as soon as my brain "gets it" on the details...

Thanks in advance!

The chuck is approx 5" long, can do 3.7v or 6v vaping The lil chuck is approx 3 1/2" long and can do 3.7v consistent vape I currently have a chuck with a lil chuck on order Usually takes about 2 wks from order to your home VERY well built and reliable devices

You are correct in most of your Chuck vs Little Chuck statements, except the month-long wait is a bit off...it's been running closer to 2 to 2.5 weeks, for production, and then it's up to the vagaries of the USPS to get it to your door.

I'm in the same camp as you and wasn't interested in HV vaping, so went with the Little Chuck. Plus I was more interested in the slightly smaller size of the LC for portability sake. The Chucks are taller so may appeal more if you're interested in a slightly bigger image on the body.

Fit/finish/build quality is outstanding on the 2 LC's I have, and I've heard the same from the Chuck owners so no worries there...

Think it comes down to HV: yes or no? and what size fits your needs best...

The only difference I see in them is that little chuck is smaller and does 3.7V
big chuck is larger and does both 3.7v and 6v.

I purchased the little chuck because I do not like 6V vaping and I didn't want the bigger size.

It really doesn't matter which one you buy "first" because eventually you will buy another one or two or..... And they say drugs are addictive...

5" long. This is what I don't understand. 2 RCR123's end to end takes a little over half that space. What takes up the rest of the space in the tube?

1 Advantage of the big Chuck is being able to use 1 -3.7v 18650 battery which allows for 2 day vaping whereas the little Chuck cant hold that large of battery. That is if you dont care about size.

Two RCR123s are the same size (lengthwise) as one 18650 battery, although a bit thinner.
The rest of the space is taken up by the endcaps and whatever switch crap is going on in there.

That's kinda what I thought but over 2 inches is an awful lot of switch crap space.

the spring in the tube is a solid 1/2 in to an inch long

I just think of it as the cage for the rabid vaping badger.....

Seriously, the end caps are recessed into the tube a little bit and the atty connectors are recessed below that even more. The room is taken up by them and the switch and the delrin which the contact that goes through that connects the battery to the switch. I think when you see one, you'll see why the length is what it is. Ther really is no wasted space. I couldn't imagine fitting everything in a much smaller space.

I do VG and drip (with a thick mixture), so I'm very happy with 3.7v, get tons of vapor. The big and little chucks perform the same at 3.7v. You can a crazy amount of time on a battery at 3.7v on the big chuck (some get 3-4 days), but I prefer the size and feel of the LC. If you decide to go with the LC, get the 18350 batteries (madvapes has them) instead of the 16340s. Performance and life is hugely better. Mine will hold solid performance for a day.

+1 to gr8's post: the 18350's have been WAY better than the stock 16340's I originally used.
