Unhappy serious janty yentl issues / problems

i got a janty yentl and I'm having real problems with either batteries or the atomizer. I got one automatic battery and one regular battery. I charged the automatic battery for 17 hours like i was supposed to and then smoked it for 20 twenty minutes, exactly like the manual said. I took it off and put on the regular battery to charge. The manual battery gave me vapor for one hit and died. I sent it back to Jeff at Janty USA and got a new manual. It worked for several hits and died too (I also charged this one). The manual lasted for a bit longer probably for 2-to-3 charges and totally abrubtly died. I received 2 new batteries saturday and it died too. The weird thing is, I am getting the right voltage when i test them with a multimeter. but I get smoke a while when i put in a new battery and then the batteries die. Does anyone know know what the correct resistance on the atomizer is? Could it be too low and killing my batteries? I'm getting really frustrated because i loved the e cigarette while I had it.... and I want one that works. Does anyone have any ideas? Could my charger be doing it? I like the company and the customer service, jeff is really cool about replacement parts... I just want a working e cigarette.

this sucks

I have heard around 3.5 ohm, but they probably vary a little between models. I have only tested a faulty one personally (~20ohm for a little while, then infinity.)

I am getting about 2.3 ohms off this atomizer, its janty yentl atomizer, do you think that is low enough to fry batteries? I just got it less than a month ago, but I haven't actually been able to smoke for about 2 weeks. I held off for a while asking jeff for new stuff because its kinda embarrasing. I attached some pictures of the atomizer, can anyone identify the generation, could i have gotten mismatched stuff?

My father is an electrical engineer and he cant figure out why the atomizer fires with new batteries once or twice but stop even though the atomizer is getting the correct amout of voltage... It's time to go out and freeze and smoke a good ole tabacco =)

I have no clue what the problem may be, but as far as I can tell by looking at the pic you posted your atomizer is a current one. I just got a Yentl about 3 days ago and my atomizer looks the same. Fortunately all my stuff worked out of the box, I can understand why you'd be frustrated having to constantly replace stuff.
