A few notes on the short batteries

Unfortunately, you gain nothing by charging a lithium-ion battery any longer than necessary. Back in the NiMH days, this was the honest and actual truth, but Lithium Ion does not benefit from all the charging in the world past the charging indicator's "charged" notification.
WWW.batteryuniversity.com for all your "wtf do i do with this li-ion battery?" needs. People a lot smarter than me with more money than I'll ever have to play with researched this for longer than I'll live (cumulatively) to bring us the facts here. Probably why I believe them. I was playing with Lithium Ion batteries before I knew about e-cigs, and I think before they were mass manufactured. Blew a few up too lol.
I love the look of these new shorties. Any chance they will become available in a matte white or matte black finish? The shiny finish looks a little cheap IMHO. 
Yes... Matte finishes!!!
Even tho I usually take all the paint of mine anyways for the stainless steel look. Makes em look expensive! And boy do I like expensive s**t!

How do you get the paint off? I love that idea. Does the metal rust or is it stainless?
It seems to be stainless.
I will do a tutorial vid maybe tonight on my process.

the cartomizers are stainless too, but they work a lot better with the sticker on LOL, so tokin the chrome stogie is probably a bad idea in the cartomizer dept haha.
I expect there are several ways to remove the paint from a battery without wrecking the fairly well polished finish under it, but I've never really tried to do it on purpose...although i did pretty much eliminate paint from a lotta other model's atomizers by accident while cleaning

Book, Movie, Documentary etc etc... History in the making
Just to reinforce that these are good batteries underneath the glaring flaw, Jon Solo found an easy fix for the unreliable power connection. I threw up a video of it, and as a bonus you can see just how much vapor it produces after you fix it!
YouTube - How to fix the V4L 65mm "Shortie" Battery
Very cool leaford!! Thanks for the video explaining what to do with the problematic shorties.
does the current stock of 'shorties' still have the problem the youtube video references?
thanks
thanks
Nope all the issues have been fixed. These new ones actually come from our regular manufacturer.
Hey, Mark - Thanks for the shortie in my recent order - I LOVE the looks of it - only problem is, I can't get it to charge. I've tried several times and it just won't take it. I really like the looks of it and want to use it, but I don't know how to fix it. It didn't have a charge on it when it arrived, so I tried to charge it and it never shows that it is working. I'm definitely going to order one on my next order - you sent purple....and I LIKE IT! Thank you. I watched the video on this thread, but my volume is screwed up on my computer - as soon as I get it fixed, maybe that will help me fix my cute little battery.
quick question regarding the old shorties...
when they are charging, the battery led (at the tip) stays on.
is that normal?
and when its charged, does it turn off?
thanks
