Carry six charging cables on one keyring with the InCharge 6

[@cruiser122s.d.8]

I have 2. One in my survival kit, one in my edc carry keychain. I love mine!!!

[@JonGadget]

thanks for the feedback

[@AHKINOE]

Any issues with it?

[@cruiser122s.d.8]

I have had no issues with mine.

[@Currywurst3000]

Hi Jon! Thanks for a lovely channel with well-produced episodes. As for the InCharge 6, I've had one of these for more than a year and it really is nimble. Of course, there are situations when you prefer a cable. Not least when you want to use your smartphone while simultaneously charging it. But when traveling this is a great (and lightweight) tool to keep in your EDC pouch or on your keychain ring. I rarely leave home without it.

[@DylanLey]

Definitely interested in the InCharge X for my Altoids Tin! Great review!

[@JonGadget]

I've got an X coming too 👍

[@masonr1666]

The thing I am planning on doing to solve this problem, is to buy several adapters just to keep in my pocket, like micro to USB c, USB c to Micro, micro to lightning. Three adapters, that can be carried connected together, then have one cable which doesn't matter what "end" it has. Also, I will probably purchase a power pack that has Qi, since a lot of phones have this power transfer technology. It seems that would require the least amount of gear to carry around. The downside being the tiny adapters are far to easy to loose, and loosing some functionality (especially using Apple Products.) Having individual adapters too allows for more flexibility, because you can add an adapter when the next USB Cable is developed. Currently I have a micro to lightning, and USB c to micro, and a power pack with USB A out.

I just discovered the Incharge 6 / X and planned to order an X this weekend. They also have a 1.5m version… Monday I received mij Nitecore NB10000 and I am really impressed!

[@JonGadget]

Love the NB10000 - I've got an X coming too

[@mikeeygq]

I just bought the lever gear this week from watching an older video. Would love to see a comparison.

[@JonGadget]

I like the Lever Gear - super lightweight - inCharge offers more charging options

[@laura-rollingsquare5732]

Thank you very much Jon for taking the time to review our inCharge 6!! :D

[@MrCdawson17]

I bought this after seeing you with one. Thank you!

[@oliverpolden]

Was that my comment? Still very pleased with mine. The only thing I think could be improved is the micro-usb port being reversible. How well the micro-usb holds in place does differ from device to device. I’m pretty sure I’ve used mine for data as well but I’m not sure if all configurations support data.

[@JonGadget]

there was a few recommendations on this one, yours included 👍 I've got an X coming - will be interesting to compare

[@k.hussain360]

Interesting product, much like yourself, I can't see myself carrying one on my keys. Although I could see myself keeping one in my EDC Wallet, this is where I think the company have missed a trick because the unique design and functions, a slightly bigger option, with a slightly longer cable would likely be a major win or even one with customisable options, i.e. for those who have no need for lightening. Definitely a company I'll be watching to see how they move forward.

[@JonGadget]

great feedback - they are innovative for sure - check out the Lever Gear options if you don't need Lightning

[@k.hussain360]

@@JonGadget yeah I've seen the Lever Gear stuff and I have to admit I'm very tempted by some of their products.

[@solomonkane408]

I carry one of these and it's a great piece of edc since I have a s21 ultra and a iphone 13pro I will always have a cable for my power banks

[@JonGadget]

thanks for the feedback Duke

[@DudesIn101]

Sure those are the absolute best gadgets you can get if the said gadget does more than one task,the more the better,just like a Swiss army knife,great quality and easy to use,is the best ones to buy,thanks for the vid,I always appreciate your opinions and the items you have one the vids are always useful to the masses,you know what's up and what people really want/need, again thanks for sharing,,also I wish they could get it right when using the fittings and connectors because it seems they get loose really fast or I just use mine more than others,I mean I have to bite the connection ends sometimes to tighten them up,isn't that stupid...

[@JonGadget]

there are some questions on quality here - it will be interesting to compare the X - the use-case for me here is emergency use not general use - as mentioned. Thanks for the kind words on the channel - really appreciated.

[@rubenduarte4909]

This is a very neat thing to have. I looked into this and when I opened Amazon and searched for it, the reviews put me off :( As for the content of this video review, as usual its nice and with high quality. Keep at it Jon!

[@JonGadget]

Thanks Ruben for the feedback on the channel 😊 on UK Amazon it has 69% 5 star which is pretty good - as mentioned in the video I would use this for emergencies and not for general use when there is too much to go wrong

[@milgeekmedia]

Yep, have one in my EDC kit, I added a couple of additional adapters just to give me options. I also bought a SPOOLY (look it up) as the only down side I find InCharge is the shortness. The main problem with mini EDC pouch set-up in the UK is the size of our plugs, so if you want to have a plug with a USB socket in it (for charging) you have to make space. The smallest folding plug I've found is still a bit chunky.

[@JonGadget]

Hi Stephen - check out my Travel EDC video - has some mains plug options

[@marksman70]

This is the best cable for EDC, just bought the Incharge X Version (up to 100 Watts) a fiew Day's ago.

[@JonGadget]

X is better but more expensive and also syncs data

[@SurvivalistChick]

It sounded like an ideal product until you got to the loose micro-usb connector. I have several items with that type of port, so I won't be getting this product, which is a shame, because it's so compact and seems well-made. My current system is bulkier. Thank you for the review and saving me £23.

[@JonGadget]

no problem - yes not ideal for Micro USB - just for emergencies only

[@dougbotimer8005]

Thanks for steering me to another useful product. I did get one and like it. But the ersatz micro USB does not fit any of my micro USB devices. Still reduces the cables I need to carry and more flexible that Lever Gears cables.

[@JonGadget]

Your welcome Doug - check out the inCharge X too

[@johncasey5594]

That is my preference in my EDC, 3 separate 3" cables for all my charge and sync needs. Not having sync on these all in one devices is real short sight in my opinion.

[@JonGadget]

Thanks for the feedback John - inCharge X fixes this

[@Crustycon23]

Thanks for another great video Jon. Been eying these up for a while but was unaware of the X iteration. So thanks for the heads up,even if my wallet would’ve been happier had I still been in ignorance lol. Cheers mate! 👍🏻 Oh. Just checked. The “X” in the other version doesn’t signify scissors. Gutted 😉😂😂👍🏻

[@JonGadget]

No scissors!! Oh no!! 🤣 I've got an X coming to check it out.

[@Crustycon23]

@@JonGadget Schweeeeeeeet! 👍🏻

[@danswallow7701]

I have the in charge 6 and incharge X (and incharge X Max) and just the additional dust cap on the X improves on the design as my incharge 6 suffered from pocket flint damaging the usb C port resulting in it not working (lightning port still works perfectly) only slight negative as an Android user is on the X they swapped the Usb C and lightning round... but that's it so far 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@sirsillybilly]

I bought it for the lightening connection which worked on my partners iPhone12mini but not on my iPhone7+. Shame it doesn’t work on my phone as I enjoy the idea of minimal carry. Any ideas, ?? BTW Thanks Jonathon, enjoying your content, ordered two RovyVon A8x from your review. ( Could you do some reviews on tritium vials for keyrings. I’ve ordered the titanium bead from RovyVon and think it will be functional to latch on to the torch. Thanks again 😊

[@JonGadget]

Thanks for the feedback - that is strange re lightning - you would think they are all the same! contact Rolling Square and see what the say? Still using my A8x - can't find anything better at the moment for functionality! In UK I can't seem to get hold of tritium vials - not sure if it is an import thing?

[@sirsillybilly]

@@JonGadget It seems user error would be the reason for it not working! 🙄 Didn’t realise the one side was for MicroUSB, which I had been attempting to use as lightning. 🤨 Silly Billy by name and nature 🙃 Thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work 👏 👏 😊

[@conorjones2401]

Another cracking review! Jon, hope you dont mind a question. In a review you had a small key chain that either used magnets or ballbarings. I'm trying to find the video! Off hand can you remember? Was it keysmart or prometheus? Thank you.

[@JonGadget]

Hi Conor, thanks for the feedback - not sure....was it this one?kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6atp51_oN94mck

[@conorjones2401]

@@JonGadget thanks Jon. It wasn't that one. I was sure you'd mentioned one in an earlier video, something like the keysmart release system which uses magnets. Thanks so much for getting back to me.

[@biffy7]

I am literally returning mine today. I like everything about this except I could not get it to mate with any micro usb socket. The micro usb plug was too large! The opposite of the problem you are experiencing.

[@JonGadget]

It only goes in one way if that helps? Ie. Could be upside down?

[@HalSamuel]

Slightly tangential question Jon, but I recently got the NB10000 battery too. Do you find you need to use the low/drip-power mode with your AirPods, RovyVon, etc? I imagine it’s best left off when you can, as my understanding is it simply deactivates the auto-off-when-charged sensor to stop it from misfiring.

[@JonGadget]

I don't have it on for the reasons you mentioned 👍

[@marksman70]

Hello Jonathan, I want to ask you if there is no problem to Charge things like your Aurora x8 or Earbuds in normal charging Mode with the Nitecore NB10000 wich I own too because of your recommendation. I thought it is better and safer to use the low current Mode for this kind of Gear?

[@JonGadget]

You should be fine it will draw what it needs. Low power is there for devices where the charging current is so low the power bank shuts off inadvertently. So if on normal mode you find the power bank shuts off then switch to low power mode. Hope that helps.

The micro-USB worked for some of my stuff, but not for all. For example it did not work at all for my Sony wh-1000xm2 headphones. I like it anyway, I'll be carrying it from now on.

[@albarnes6421]

Jon posts a review and less than 2 mins in and I'm ordering one in another browser tab. Again...

[@GlennBroadway]

Don’t do it. At the very least get their new X which launches on kickstarter next week. This design is flawed.

[@JonGadget]

I think it is fine for emergency use - I have an X coming to see if connectors are any different

[@DisjointedConversations]

It seems like a good “just in case” solution.

[@JonGadget]

Yes, exactly - I wouldn't use this for everyday use just everyday carry!

[@diluteduk]

I much prefer the lever gear cable kit. Won't give that up for this one

[@FiveRustyNails]

As an Android only bloke I feel the compromise of adding Lightning is a deal breaker. I'd buy USB A to C and (properly engaging) Micro, but not dodgy Micro and Lightning.

[@nigelh3253]

Yes, I don't understand why I need so many outputs. Just a neat USB A to good quality micro-usb would be fine for me. And if I got a usb C phone, then I could get an adaptor for that. I suppose the lightning connector could help out my friends/partner, but I'm strictly Android.

[@JonGadget]

I would feel the same if I was Android user - look at the Lever Gear option - could get USB-C and Micro USB combo I think.

[@JonGadget]

See my reply to Nigel.

[@corvus4eomer]

Interesting product Jonathan! Its quite comparable to my Nillkin 3 in 1 cable. However i feel both solutions are inferior to Remax RC-185th, as it can provide length and when not used it keeps less space since the cables are retractable. Plus the price is really lower.

[@JonGadget]

thanks for feedback - will check it out

[@adainpass]

I have 3 of them - two short ones works great , one "max" broke after one week :(

[@JonGadget]

interesting to note

[@alexhoogeveen]

The new version is on Kickstarter. I really liked the previous versions.

[@JonGadget]

new version has longer cable 👍

[@teezettsb]

can you provide a link?

[@JujuBebop]

I know mini usb is on the way out but I still have a few devices that use it. Still very impressive without mini usb.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

Looks good, but not a big fan of too many moving parts. And very small. Lose fits, hmmmmm. For that price as well.... Got 2 small cables in my very first edc bag, but probably buy a small single adapter and chuck out 1.

[@JonGadget]

makes sense 👍

[@CH3825]

Remember, they're torches! ;-) Good review though, thank you

[@JonGadget]

😁 lot's of interesting torch videos to come!

[@jacqueseales4029]

Like the idea. But too short. I prefer single cable that “splits” to 3 - micro, usb c and lightning. I have two such cables, a short and a longer one….shorty stays in EDC pouch and longer one in the car. This way you also only need one decent charging brick to simultaneously charge up to 3 devices..

[@JonGadget]

not a bad option - nice to have USB-A and C charging with inCharge though

[@icba4907]

Bought one on your recommendation but discount code is not recognised.

[@JonGadget]

Sorry to hear this. Will email supplier 👍

[@JonGadget]

Seems code might have had typo. Should be fixed now if not too late. Apologies for the confusion.

[@mrskwrl]

The LeverGear one has a USB C version now.

[@Gadgetdad007]

There is a charge type missing. It’s the type before micro usb was around.

[@JonGadget]

Mini USB is a rare thing indeed!

[@teezettsb]

yes, mini USB is missing and lightning is not necessary for someone not using apple products. but for emergency use in the EDC it is ok. for everyday use the cable is too short anyway

[@dalecarr5445]

There is an InCharge 6 max that has a 1.5 meter cable.

[@JonGadget]

Hi. Yes, I've seen that - not as good for EDC but more practical for other use I guess

Apple puts something in their phones that detects non apple products and regularly disables them. Let us know if this cable suddenly becomes disabled according to your phone!

Good thing you don't have to fold the cable every time you use it..... Oh wait.
