Batteries dead?

They are finito 
One of them had under 1 volt when I checked them a bit later. One was at 6.7 volts. Stupid me didn't know that the screw on the Kayfun Lite that makes contact with the battery was for fastening one of the posts. When I screwed it tight the post turned around touching the other. Efest makes really safe batteries I must say. Used the mod without knowing that they shortened. Had no clue that the poor performance was because of that.

Thank you. Indeed a bad design yes. :/ Amazing that the batteries didn't go up in flames.

VERY Lucky, And I believe EFEST uses LG HE2 batteries, which, albeit have a 20a limit, are extremely safe in comparison to others.
But glad we got to the bottom of it

Yes, 20 amp they are. Now they are out in the cold.
My luck to wreck the batteries during Christmas, so I had to borrow an Eleaf IStick. The Kayfun Lite with a 1.4 Ohm coil works great with it.

Finally up and running again. Aerotank 2 at 1.2 Ohm is good, but can't beat the Kayfun Lite at 0.56 Ohm.
Bought LG 18650HE2 2500mAh IMR 20A as the Efest 3100mAh was out of stock. I hope those are as good.
Juice didn't taste good. Used too much cotton. Made a 1 Ohm coil too, and now it's great.

The crazy volt I got on my Efest was because of my voltmeter. Checked the brand new LG I used in my mod just now and it was close to 8 volt. Checked another LG I have, and it was the same. Put the used battery in the charger and it showed 4 volt.
I think it's because my voltmeter is low on battery is shows wrong volt. Have to buy a new battery tomorrow as it uses half size I don't have.
The Efest batteries have been outside in freezing temperatures, snow and rain for a week now. I think I wont take my chance on them.

Thanks for the tip. Haven't been on an excursion yet where I needed a spare, but I got a battery case in case I will.
