Indulgence problems

[jrjacobs]

I've never heard of this, but maybe some of the minds here can help figure this one out.

I got my new "Indulgence" e-cigarette mod on Saturday. The indulgence comes with two different "bottoms" or "cups" as they are called by Eastmall. One of the cups is short and allows the use of a single 3.7v battery. The extended cup allows for two batteries @ 6v or 7.2v depending on which batteries are used.

On my unit, everything works fine with the 3.7v cup. When I use the extended cup, my HV atty will work fine, but regular attys don't work at all - I have tried 510's and 901's so far - no dice. I try the same attys with 3.7v and they work fine. Try the HV atty at 6v and 7.2v and it works fine. The cup is simply a piece of metal with a spring - nothing more.

A quick check on the forums, and it seems to be a common problem:

Eastmall has suggested that the spring is not making contact with the extended cup, but that seems wrong to me as the HV attys would not work either.

I am wondering if it has something to do with the type of batteries they are supplying?

This is my first foray into "high voltage" so hopefully some of the experts can chime in here to help figure this out.

Would simply trying a different brand of batteries be the trick?

Thanks for any advice!

what battys are you using for 6v?

I was seriously looking at the Indulgence but I decided to go with the Silver Bullet for $84.99 and I'm glad I did. If there was ever a problem I would rather ship my PV to someone in the sates vs china. Sorry to hear your having problem, hope it gets worked out..

P.S - Atties shouldn't be the problem

They just say 16340 3.2v on the side.

Indulgence is sold stateside these days. I got mine from: eCigMall - so no worry about sending back to China.

I wouldn't think the atties are the problem as all the ones I tested are working. Eastmall claims there are no electronic parts to the Indulgence, so I am thinking it is a strange problem with the batteries they are sending out?

PS - all the batteries I have tested work just fine by themselves. They also all work fine with the extender cup using the HV atty, just not with any normal attys. This seems to be echoed by other users. Strange, huh...

I'm having the same issue, my atties are not working on 6 volt - each battery along works at 6v no problem.

Not happy.

By normal atty you are referring to 2.2 ohm Joye attys?
Sounds like current limit in battery circuit.

My Indulgence will not work with the EM batteries (which say LifePO4 16340 3.2V 1000mah), it will work with my Tenergy LifePO4 RCR123A 3.0V 750mah. I don't have HV attys to try it with, but it works with regular 510, 901 and cartomizers. So yeah it is the batteries.

I got mine from EM and I have had it a couple weeks
