How to charge a Foger vape without the battery: five cases
A Foger Switch Pro pod fires on its own 200 mAh cell, but only the power bank recharges it. Five no-battery cases, what works, and charge times.
Why is my vape flashing and not working? What it means
A flashing vape that will not fire is its protection circuit talking. The causes, the fixes, and Geekvape's and Vaporesso's own flash codes.
Can you take a vape on a plane? Carry-on only, 100 Wh max
TSA and FAA rules for vapes on US flights: carry-on only, never checked, 100 Wh per battery, no charging on board. Two OXVA pod kits work out near 5 Wh.
OXVA XLIM Pro 2 vs XLIM Pro 3: 10.4 g for 200 mAh
1300 vs 1500 mAh, 67 vs 77.4 g, 0.56 vs 1.05-inch screen, 2 vs 3 mL pod; wattage and coils identical. From OXVA's own spec pages, in one table.

SQ Pro 2: 1600 mAh, 1.09-inch touch screen, 114 g. Pro 2: 1300 mAh, 0.56-inch, 67 g. Both 5-30 W on the same pods. OXVA's own figures, tabled.

OXVA NeXLIM 2 against the NeXLIM 2 Mini — what the smaller one gives up
One platform, two bodies, both new this summer. Read on published specifications and named review coverage, the Mini's saving is mostly weight, and its power ceiling lands awkwardly against the cartridge you would want it for.
USB-C is standard now, but charging behaviour still varies wildly
The connector converged. What happens behind it did not — and charge rate, cutoff behaviour and passthrough differ more between devices than the shared port suggests.
