He's asking if it matters which way the IC chip goes on the battery in the K101. He said the indent resembles the button on the chip. He was told to use it when charging the battery - which he did with the large battery. It doesn't work in the Kamry when he puts the magnet towards the poll (on the small battery). But it works terrific when he turns it towards the firing button.
Thanks for your insight!
I used a K100 for about 8 months as my main vape device. I dented a battery like that once (but not quite that badly) when I dropped my K100 onto the button.
I assume when you mention the IC chip that it is a fuse, like the '2 cent' fuses we use in mechanical mods. If that is what it is, it's not critical to use when charging, but much more so when using the device.
IMO there is no way you can tighten this mod enough to make the battery dent without it firing constantly (without you holding the button down), even with a fuse in there.
I use Sony VTC3 and VTC4 batteries with my mechanical mods because they are very safe. My next battery purchase will be Sony VTC5s, unless something better comes along first. From what I've read of the Kamry brand batteries, they may not be the safest ones out there, but I'm not sure of that.
I do believe the '2 cent' fuses have a positive and negative end and need to put into the device the right way around.
I get the feeling reading some of the articles in the '
One Stop Reference Shop For New and Experienced Vapers' may be good for you both. I suggest at least Baditude's battery info articles and the one on Ohm's law to start with.
Bets of luck with it all
