My Batteries Don't Work In My K100 Anymore

[Sammy213]

The first day i had my k100 it worked perfectly but a few days later my button started getting warm and the two batteries i used stopped working when i put them in it but they work perfectly fine in my other mod. I borrowed a battery from my friend and it worked in my k100 but the other two batteries still dont work when i try to use them in my k100. So can anybody explain to me whats going on

It sounds like an issue with your fire button. Your fire button should NEVER get hot, nor should you mod or battery. There is a short somewhere in your setup.

You should really have a digital multimeter to help troubleshoot your issue. You will be able to test the voltage output of your battery, and be able to check for shorts in your mod. The K-100 has a history of fire button issues, and someone with experience with that model should help you troubleshoot the problem. Take it to a reputable vape shop for inspection and troubleshooting. In the meantime, I recommend not using the k-100 until the problem has been addressed.

What multimeter would you recommend thats good and somewhat cheap on amazon

This one gets rave reviews on Amazon. Amazon.com: INNOVA 3320 Auto-Ranging Digital Multimeter: Automotive

The reality is almost any will do for basic measurements, if you want smaller/cheaper, look over the pocket multimeters. Amazon.com: pocket multimeter

If your measuring low ohm builds though I wouldn't necessarily go with cheap, other than that most should suffice.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding correctly... you aren't *stacking* the 2 batteries, are you?

I didnt stack I used 2 18650 batteries a sony vtc4 and an purple efest 35 amp these are the ones that dont work in my k100 anymore but the battery i borrowed from my friend works in the mod

Is your friends battery a button top? I know the Sony is flat top. If the purple efest is also flat top maybe the problem lies here.

Just an FYI for you (not related to your problem). Your purple 35A batteries are only 20A continuous, not 35A. This link is from Baditude (our resident battery/safety expert): Purple Efest Batteries not as Advertised

My friend's battery is a flat top and thanks for the info on the efest battery
