Thanks everyone for the replies & great advice!

Nightshard, I think the charger must be bad. It's the Kamry one I got with the K103. After I bought the brand new Sony 18650. (2100) I put it in the Kamry charger & the next morning (~12hrs) it was still not green.
Yesterday morning I put the Kamry 18350(900) in the kMry charger & 8 hours later even that was not charged.

18650 doesn't take 13 hours to charge.
There are several possibilities:
1. Your charger is defective.
2. Your battery is defective.
3. You over used your battery dropping it below 2.5V and by doing that ruined it.
First of all take a volt meter and test your battery voltage.
Which charger are you using?
You need at least 2 batteries so you could charge one while using the other.
Get to know your batteries and don't over use them.

My thinking is he's using the Kamry charger that came with the kit. It's really bad and yes charging at a lower rate because the Kamry kit battery is not a IMR.

Yes you'll need a good charger. Think the Nitecore chargers are cheaper on Amaz...

Yes Mike, you're correct. I am using the Kamry. Tomorrow I will go pick up the nitecore.

Kamry kit battry is IMR. It says: IMR 18350. 900mAh 3.7V
The charger is 450

Way to go on quitting. It is going on about 3 weeks for me and everyone around me is still happy too. Lol

Happy is an understatement for what I am with my MVP 2. Unfortunately I'm not sure if that is anything like what you are looking for. You can pick one up for $50ish but i'm not sure if you're looking to invest more into your setup. Its kept me off of analogs since I started. Good luck to you and I hope you find your setup to keep you vaping and not smoking!
