Indulgence- Single battery works, dual doesn't. Am I missing something?

[KPKicker]

Hi all...

I bought an Indulgence a few weeks ago, single battery mod. It works great.

Last week I bought the extender sleeve and two batteries from a different vendor. It doesn't work at all.

I know the switch works because it works on the single battery. I know the atomizer works for the same reason. I am pretty sure the batteries work because they both charged just fine.

Anyone have any suggestions? It shouldn't be this difficult. It's either the batteries or the switch, right? This isn't rocket science. Or am I a ..... and I'm doing something stupid.

And before you ask, yes I have tried inserting the batteries in all different ways. Both tops facing up, both tops facing down, one facing up, one facing down....nothing.

It isn't rocket science no It seems likely the batteries aren't making a connection. They both go in the same direction, with the positive side facing the switch. When you put the batteries in the tube, do they protrude from the top or do they sit further in?

They protrude so a connection is being made.

I finally got frustrated enough to force the two 3.7v I have into the sleeve and put the switch on. It worked. It's the batteries. The 3.2v that came with sleeve appear to be ungood. I will try charging them again before I get some new ones.

not sure which batteries or atty you're using... there is a posibility that with certain batteries and atties that the amp draw is too high and can cause the PCB on the cells to trip because they think they were shorted...putting them on the charger will reset them..

but if they arent protected cells... I'd just stop and pitch them and get new batteries..no reason to fiddle with them and have a battery incident...

if they are cr123a size (or 16340) I'd go with the AW 3.0V LiFePo4 batteries and the appropriate 3.0V/3.6V selectable output charger (like the ultrafire wf-138a) because they cannot be charged on the same charger as a 3.7V cell (it's bad and could cause an incident)
