Unhappy Burn out chargers

My ss galaxy tab 7.7 is just abount 3 mos old and I'm very happy with it. My only concern is I have already busted 3 chargers. Is it the low quality of the chargers or is there something wrong with my Tab. Thanks

I just got mine few days ago and the charger gets very hot, even smells like plastic. But it was the same with my old P1000, they get hot, they smell like burning but keeps working Maybe the voltage at you home (wall plug socket) is not consistent?

Default strange thing about stock charger

I bought an cheep USB extention for my 6800 stock charger.
Now it does notget hot at all,
Also I have a 4 OUTLET switching charger thatworks well with the tab.
I picked it up at a place called xscargo.

Default Alternet chargers

I have also found that chargers that are for chargeing usb batterys are also hi-output
And very good for chargeing tabs.
I have tryed the ones for iphone battery packs and thay are very good for the 6800.

I use my stock charger on a surge protected power strip. It does not get unusually hot or smell like plastic. Maybe I have luck or it is the surge protection.
