For those who didn't see it, not good news at all, this might affect the majority of suppliers.

Unfortunately its not the first time nor will it be the last. They stopped processing several vendors cc's last year too. I cant remember if there has been any others this year or not. I would have expected NLV be aware before this new shut down happened that it was likely going to occur at some point to them too, just a matter of time if they chose to stay with that processor. There are other processors that they can use but it will take a while, they should will be back up and running again when they get switched to a different processor.

Morning everyone -

I just noticed one of my batteries has a dent in it where the screw makes contact with the battery. I'm sure the battery is fine... it is charging up to 4.15 volts on a PILA, haven't noticed any inconsistencies with it. Does anyone know a solution to prevent this from happening?

I know this has been discussed before but I can't find the posts right now.

LOL I am not squeezing that hard... just normal strength. And it only happened on one battery I always squeeze at more or less the same force

tighten the screw in the cap jonny. maybe it came out a tad

I am going to try doing that. Actually going to dissemble my switch for the first time later after work.. maybe give it a shorter throw also. My switch is on stock mode, however it came... I think high resistance. It's weird because it only happened to 1 out of 3 batteries I have. Not sure when it happened but I just noticed it last night.

Some of the older AW had a thinner negative plate. They have made them a lil thicker now to prevent the denting.. It wouldn't happen to be an older batt would it?

I didn't make it vapor :( ....With the thread of Hurricane Issac coming we decided not to make the trip to Atl and Charlotte.
Did you go? Seriously regretting not going.... I'm jonesin for some Phish. Didn't see any shows this summer. You know that's the worst feeling when you don't know when your next show is and they don't have anything official yet for the rest of the year.

I should in Colorado right now.... guess I'll start planning MSG now. Did it last year....expensive and wasn't the best 4night run...

Hopefully they do another fest like Superball next summer. That was hands the best Phish 3.0 experience for me ... That whole weekend was amazing, pure bliss. I want to go back to Watkins ...lol
PS, Jonny, did you make it to the show in Charlotte last Sunday?

i think i remember someone posting about a trapped air bubble? just curious where this resides as i was having whimpy vapor myself this morning. I took the cap off and noticed the coils glowed immediately, despite having juice in the tank. I figured there was a wicking issue. after i held it upside down, voila


does this indicate an air bubble or sediment being stuck inside the hole of the wick?

I don't think it's an old battery Landlord. I bought these batteries from 310vapors 3 weeks ago. Unless 310 has a huge stock of the older AW batteries, I would think they are the new version. They do seem to have a thin plate though.. I can post a pic later when I get home.

I think it was changed around the time the 2000mAh 18650 came out.. And yea i guess it is possible 310 has a huge stock of older batts..
