battery question on a mod

[Hinterscher]

I bought one nico stick and made one nicostick. While waiting on batteries from ebay to arrive, I went to batteries plus and bought a 3.7 li non rechargeable battery that registers roughly 180-200 mAh on my mutlimeter thinking that I could try them out at least (I'm impatient). It isn't working. Is it that the mAh aren't high enough or are my nicostiks wrong? I was excited thinking I would have a spare battery for when I forgot to charge batteries too. What am I doing wrong? Thanks from one new to making mods!

You got yourself a low discharge rate primary battery. Those are not good for the power hungry atomizers. (1A range).

No biggie.
Either hunt for a high current rate primary battery or wait for the rechargeables.

AAAAAAAHHHHHH..... That makes sense, we were wondering last night if it was that it couldn't power the atomizer, then today I thought I had it all figured out because I had a 3 amp switch and it couldn't power the switch. Thank you!

The rating on the switch in amps is the amperage the switch can handle before it fails electrically(contacts melting)

Translation...

Your switch is not the problem, the battery is.
