I bought 2 bottles with 5 different gauge needles from provape for 9.00. Work perfect on my Orion n my katana
So guys I got my katana in today!
Everything is great, except I can't get it to fire
The battery is really wiggly in there. When I press the battery switch, and wiggle it, the battery moves up and down, which I would say means the battery isn't making contact with the switch or mod. I was wondering what would solve this?
I am using a AW IMR 18650 battery if that helps.

You'll need a spacer magnet to take up the slack in the IMR. It's a few mm shorter than the protected cell, but the better performance of the IMR makes it worth getting the spacers. They are very inexpensive in either case
I have 2000 mah IMRs and they fit in mine, no rattling ....
Ideally you'd want to unscrew the tube to the point where the button will bottom out on the little lip underneath the locking threads, but mine works fine without having to do this. If you use a spacer, you wouldn't be able to screw it in that far unless you tighten it too much and squish the nipple on the battery. I put NoAlox on the threads for the switch and that resolved any conductivity issues I had.
The AW IMR 18650 rattle (red guys)............the AW IC 18650 rattle as well (the black guys)............The tube is just larger than it should be
To put a kick in the Katana you will need to take up that extra volume or it will rattle as well.....I used a copper sleeve

one thing that might help. Unscrew the tube with the switch on there and drop the battery in. they screw this piece on to the top part.
I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to come across snide or anything like that... was just rambling about stuff I've read. I'm glad yours is working fine.
loft - I didn't think it was snide at all .... I just didn't want folks thinking I had something going on, instead of seeing Arctherus' problem.
It's all good!

Oooohhhh .... I do dots a lot. 
Don't mind the dots ..... they are just me taking a break from my run-on type of thinking.

Ok here is a helpful hint for beginners
before wrapping your coil put a thin paperclip threw the wick with batteries out then wrap your coil, it ensures that you will not have to worry about chocking the wick you can also put in a 18 or 20 gauge needle when wrapping, this really help alot with coil wrapping and wicking and for wicking make sure you leave about 2mm space from the bottom of your wick so air gets in there to help with wicking. this is my experience and it works try it and let me know what you think
