battery's dying one after another...

[lowierunner]

i'm vaping with a kayfun on a natural (smok) and this week i already had 4 battery die on me :-S the charger says they are full but there is no life left in them. i use AW IMR 18350's Anyone have a idea what's happening? 1 ohm coil btw so no super low ohm stuff on it. best regards Wesley de vries (my enter button isn't working on posting :-S so lay out is a bit f'ed)

Have you tested them with a multimeter? Could be a faulty charger not charging them but reporting them as charged...

Light stays green on my charger when I put a dead battery in it. It doesn't recognize it. I'd guess your batteries are shot.

+1 on charger. if the mod was killing them i'd suspect you'd notice

 

[lowierunner]

it charges my working battery's just like it would normally do, only the shot ones give a green light even when they are not working in my mods.

Just a shot in the dark here- but are you using coils that you rebuilt? I have had some issues with rebuilding my own coils. They will test with ohms in an okay range, fire fine on my I pro or my Provari, but if I try to fire them on my ego (usually using it to dry burn after cleaning) it will read a short. I have had this kill several sets of batteries. I am trying to decide of I am going to try to improve my coil building proficiency or just pay the 3 bucks or so to buy new heads.

You’re using them on a Mech? Are you discharging them below 3 volts? I have a charger that refuses to charge batts that have discharged below 3.2 volts. Plus discharging them below 3.2 volts can damage the batteries and possibly be dangerous.

^^^ this.
And if you're doing super low ohms....I suggest you get a multimeter so you can test your batteries and gear. Telling us what voltage these "dead" batteries read would help.

Lot's of good info on batteries here ==> Basic to Advanced Battery Information from Battery University

Sounds like a bad charger to me

i think this could be the problem, i'll be getting my multimeter back from a friend of mine tomorrow and test the bats.
i'm used to having a voltage indicator on my evic and semovar so i think i use them to long and discharged them to low.

thanks for the tips guys/girls
