iTaste SVD, New batteries low battery warning when fully charged.

[usafadan4]

So I recently bought a iTaste SVD, im using a natulas aspire tank. No matter what kind of batteries I use I get a battery low message after 1-2 hits.
Ive been using NCR18650B. I had two of those fairly new. Then I purchased some Panasonic 18650s 3.7v and same issue. I let the batteries fully charge and still no luck. any suggestions?

Those Panasonics are offered as both protected & un-protected versions. If they are the protected version, those protection circuits could be interferring with the built-in protection of the SVD's motherboard.

What are the model numbers of the second set of Panasonics?

Not that it should contribute to your current issues, FYI the NCR18650B aren't the best batteries to be using in a mod. Although they are an IMR/hybrid chemistry, the chemistry ratio makes them more like an ICR battery than an IMR battery. They are not a high drain battery, and only have a 6.8 amp limit. Regulated mods will perform more optimally with an high drain IMR. These batteries were designed for flashlights, and are not ideal for mod use.

The NCR18650B is a Protected battery and not recommended for use in the svd. Innokin recommends IMR unprotected 18650 battery's the ncr battery's can damage your device. (from the SVD User Manual We recommend you use IMR high drain 18650, IMR high drain
18500 or IMR high drain 18350 batteries, such as AW IMR18650,
IMR18500 and 18350 batteries. Other improper batteries may
damage iTaste SVD.)

If you are getting error messages/problems after only 1 or 2 hits it definitely sounds like you have the protected version of the batteries. Only option is to get a better, unprotected battery more suitable for an electronic APV.

If you wish to stick to the Panasonic or Orbtronic brands (Orbtronics re-wraps Panasonic batteries), the following are un-protected high drain IMR/hybrid batteries which will work better with your SVD:

NCR18650BD 3200mAh 10A
NCR18650PF 2900mAh 10A
NCR18650PD 2900mAh 10A
CGR18650CH 2250mAh 10A

If your svd is showing red on fire button with a fully charged battery it MAY also be the center pin shorting out. A common problem for this mod. Pull center pin out through the top and put a tiny oring on the fire pin and reinsert
