K100 and Protected Batteries question

[IsLanDr671]

Hi guys,

I have a situation that has me stumped. I know the Kamry K100 is a mechanical mod, so I bought (5) 18650 and (5) 18350 protected batteries for the added protection.
Now when I put either protected 850 0r 350 battery in the K100, it won't fire so I thought they didnt charge enough so I checked them with my multi meter and they were all at 4.1 or 4.2 volts. so I thought they were duds , but when I put them in my Sigelei #19 they fired no problem. now I'm scratching my head. I then placed a regular IMR 850 battery in the K100 and it fired like it always did. And as I already suspected the protected batteries didn't play well with my VV/VW APV's.

Is there something I'm doing wrong with the K100 when I put the protected batteries in it? I'm getting a migraine. if I can't use protected batteries in the K100 then I have (10) new protected batteries just for my Sigelei #19 and my Chrome SMOKtech E-pipe which is cool but dang I really wanted to use them on my K100 as well.

Any and all help is highly appreciated.

Protected batteries are a little longer than unprotected batteries (IMR) so you might have to unscrew the tube to give it some room to fire. I believe this mod is recommended to use unprotected batteries, (AW IMR 18650). The IMR batteries are safer but not generally required in a mechanical mod but it seems the K100 wants IMR's.
