I'll have to check the box from from d4 when I get home to see if mine came witj one
starting a new job as a truck driver and will be away from home for 2-3 Weeks at a time. Need a way to charge the batts for my sigelei 150. Use an Atlantis and high watt low sub ohm drip
Depends on who you bought it from. I got mine on Amazon from Eastshine, and they sell them with or without. I think I paid like $24 for mine and it came bundled with the 12V cord and a battery box.

My LUC v4 came with a car charging cable. Th ink it's still in the box.
What brand batteries will you be using? LG specific ly warn against using in car power to charge their cells. 12V and 24V car/lorry/truck power is real dirty shit. Alternator output is very very noisy.
From LG spec sheets of the HE2, HE4, HD2, HB6 and HG2:
Prohibitions :
Do not use different charger. Do not use cigarette jacks (in cars) for charging.
Definitely something I'd restrict to emergency use only. If you're away in your vehicle I guess that counts as an emergency though.

Lol, sorry. Thought you wanted to get an idea of my setup to estimate battery usageI was thinking more about what charger you need an adapter for or were thinking of buying... but yeah... your vape setup is important too.
I use vtc4s and 25Rs. Tractor trailors often use 4 or 6 batteries so can easily power 12 volt coolers and TVs over night while still maintaining enough power to start the engine. Migjt ne clean coming straight from the battery with the engine off. But, I'm not a mechanic or electrician.
I guess at the least I could use a small inverter. Or buy a few dozen batteries to last 2-3 Weeks at a time then charge them on the few days I'm at home
I know 3 pairs of 25Rs can last about a week with an aspire nautilus at 10 Watts. But half that with an Atlantis. And dripping (although only when on breaks) would increase the usage considerably.
Rough guess would be planning one pair of batteries per day. 42 batts and maybe 5 chargers to charge them all in 2-3 days. Lol.

I think what they're saying there is not to use that power without cleaning it up first. Internal to the charger it's filtering the signal so I wouldn't worry about using a high quality charger like Nitecore or Efest off of a cigarette lighter.
All of the chargers we sell, Nitecore and Efest, offer the chargers both with and without the car charge cables so we do the same. We actually sell the car charge cables separately too and interestingly they're the same adapter for both brands, they probably buy them from the same supplier.
