And you won't be needing that voltmeter - unless you do some youtube-reviews and want to show viewers the voltage levels :)

Yeah I know the dial makes it really unnecessary. I think it's just part of my nature to tinker and know numbers and stuff. I almost got a provari because of the display, but didn't like having to click 20 times to get anything done. I think it's mostly so I can gauge different voltages with certain cartos and atomizers and flavors. I know I won't need it with the dial, but my curiosity begs me to know the numbers. I may not use it very much, but it's nice to have. I'm also curious to see what my existing batteries are rated at.

True. I ordered that voltmeter with BP as well. It's a nice one, not expensive, and may come in handy if there's some sort of problem with Buzz.

Just a side note... In Finnish "Pila" means "Prank" :) On the other hand "vaping" in France is called "Vapotage" :p

How many languages do you speak? Do you speak French as well as you speak English. French is a beautiful language!

Luckily the hubby had a voltage meter already. While it isn't needed, we've used it now and again to trouble shoot. I was looking at the "other mod" before I found the buzz as well. Not only didn't I want to click a button 20 times to do different things, my worry was, how many pushes was that button rated for???? I'm happy I got the Buzz!

Also I wasn't able to get Powerciser batteries (the unprotected ones?) because they were sold out. Will this make a difference in the vape? What exactly is the difference?

I did not notice a difference in the vape when my powerizers got here, only difference is the powerizers last much longer. With the other batteries when they were dead there was zero warning. You would take a vape and all was good, next vape... nothing. With the powerizers, the light turns blue/red at the same time and the vape falls off a bit at the end. Personally I like this better. To me, that sudden death of BP with no warning was unsettling!

Ah cool. Does Radio Shack or does any other walk-in store sell these kinds of batteries or other trustfire/ultra fire? I need to find a good hobby store that has electronics stuff in it. Buying stuff online is cool, but being able to go in a store and get what I want, see it in person, and have it that day is nice still too haha. I guess I can be impatient.

Man I have a million questions today.

Is the charger that Buzz sells safe to leave charging while at work? Or should I unplug it if I'm not around? I know Li-ion batteries can burn or explode. I'm just curious what the experience here has been with it.

Also does the Buzz Pro prevent the batteries from being overly discharged? I think that can kill a battery from recharging or something.

:D No I don't actually speak French :) I just once visited a French e-cig website when I was looking for new e-liquids. I speak Finnish, English and some Swedish (I studied it on high school, but it was so long ago that I don't remember much of it today). A while ago I started studying Spanish on my own, but I haven't made much progress yet. Most complicated thing I can say in Spanish is: Nada es suficiente para ti (Nothing is enough for you) which is not exactly the most useful phrase in the world :)

I always have a set on my charger. One set in the buzz and one set in the charger at all times. I haven't had a problem, but hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in. I'm interested in hearing the answer with powerizers being unprotected.

I know the buzz has all sorts of protection (that is why you can use the unprotected batteries in there) but I don't know if that helps with your question.

You really have to wonder why I bothered answering you, I know nothing.

I studied French in school. I can say the pen is on the table. (I can't write it though) I can also say "I speak a little french" neither are useful.

There it is by the way, that is the VERY FIRST english error I saw you make and yes it was a preposition! "I studied it in high school" I think you threw that in so we believe you don't speak english! Really though I go back and read some of my post and I wonder if english really is my first language!

I'm glad you answered. It's good knowing you've had it plugged in for a while without problems. You may not know the technicalities, but you definitely have the first hand experience I'm looking for :)

Thanks for answering my questions!

I told you so! I have troubles with those little words called prepositions. I swear to god it was an honest mistake, and thanks for correcting me. I learned a new thing - and I love to learn. Now I just have to memorize it... :)

No problems as of yet, the house is still standing and hasn't burnt down. But I am interested in the answer to your question. I know there is not a problem keeping the protected batteries on there 24/7 that I have read and trust the people who wrote it. So the batteries you ordered with your BP will be fine. I am curious about the unprotected powerizers.

I don't know anything about batteries/chargers, so I've been reading about them lately. I'm convinced that it is very rare that leaving a battery on a charger will cause a problem. I'm also convinced that when it happens, it can start a fire. I don't want my house to burn down when I'm gone, or to have it catch fire when I'm asleep.

So just to be safe, I won't leave them charging when I'm not around. Chances are, I could do it all the time and it would never matter. But it's not that hard to charge them while I'm sitting here at the computer, and take them off before I leave, so I'll take the safe route.

I'll be getting protected batteries, too, even though Buzz says they aren't necessary. Everything else I've read says "Never use unprotected batteries in a PV", and it's easy to use the protected ones, so I will.

We do a bunch of testing at work and have 5-6 sets in chargers all the time and have NEVER had a problem ! the chargers are SMART they shut off after the batts are charged .

As long as you stay with quality chargers (like TrustFire TR-001) everything should be ok. Some of my friends have been using cheap Chinese chargers and so far there's been two occasions where those "Chinese time bombs" went off. They literally exploded. Some of those Chinese chargers contain cheap capacitors, which (when they get old and dry) will blow up.

The quality of the product is ALWAYS in play with batts that is for sure !
