He said he was getting 6 volts earlier. I had an 18650 go bad and it was still reading 4.1 volts but it wouldn't charge or put out any current.
if it read volts but doesn't put out current, you have to take off the PCB (protection) to get it to work.
Atty. I'm going to a walgreens near me to pick up two CR123s.... Stay in touch guys I'll be back in 15 minutes.
So if the protection circuit trips you still get volts? That's weird. If I tested a battery and it was measuring the correct voltage I'd assume it was good. I didn't know that about the protection circuit.
sorry, i forgot to quote your post so mine seemed a little random.
I mean the 18650 battery. If the meter shows 4.2V but it doesn't vape (on a known good setup) then that means the protection circuit (PCB) has gone bad. You can tear it off the bottom of the batt and continue to use the batt unprotected.

It was when I first got my chuck. It stopped working so I check the voltage and it was good. Changed the atty and nothing. Tried everything I could think of except another battery. Finally I tried another battery and it worked. I tried charging it and the light turned green right away but it wouldn't work. I didn't have an amp meter but I'm assuming that was the problem.
I didn't know that. I'll know for future reference. I trashed it but DX sent me two new ones so all is well.
I get that part. I just thought if a pcb tripped then you would get nothing on a meter.sorry, i forgot to quote your post so mine seemed a little random.

Oh. sorry. I'm not sure about that one. Never tried to measure a tripped batt. It was my understanding that if it tripped, you could put it on the charger to reset it.
I was getting 4.12 volts. Right before that the battery and top cap got hotter than hell.
I saw one of those at Hot August Nights in Reno a couple years back.
That's basically a motor with a couple wheels under it. 8-o
wonder what's keeping ramen
probably lost in a cloud of vape, trying to find the keyboard

Guys, I went to the store to buy the CR123s like you suggested... Vaping like a champ! !
I'll take off the protection and see if the batteries (that didn't work) work then.
