Just for the sake of elimination have you tried a different battery?yeah now I put the 306 on and it dies again at 3v
I wouldn't buy any lottery tickets today if I were you, I think your luck will improve tomorrow.I did try another battery same flavor tho.
I guess I will get some non protected ones in the am and see what happens
IMR only is how they put it.seriously.
if I had looked before I got my device I would have known I needed unprotected batteries and would have already had them in my hands
damnit
I only plan on 18650s. I am going slow when inserting the battery. I just don't know if a tight fit is what the manufacture wanted? It does fit but really snug/tight. I am just curious if this will destroy the internal components that are visible. Also If I buy the larger cap will a 18650 batt fit inside better?

So which spring came in your short battery cap?
The Gray Panasonic flat tops are said to be the best with the Z. It is what I am using and they work well. I am so sorry that you are not able to use the mod after waiting extra time for it![]()
I will have a few of these tomorrow am
IMR 18650 Li-Ion Battery 1500mAh 3.7v Li-Mn High Drain
then will get some of the p-sonics next time there is a deal on them somewhere.

Take out the battery and look down at the contact for the battery, it is a small brass ring but it is only soldered to the circut board on one side so it is kind of fragile. I use the extended cap for 18350's and its a little tighter than I would like but I can also use the 18650 with the same cap. So do you have the long spring in the short cap? Just count the coils.
After you know whether or not that you don't have to return that one, and I don't think that you will , cut exactly one coil off of the one for the short cap and either bend it or heat it on just the cut end to make it flat.seems that both the springs are the same length
I know you told me Salem I am just being a cheap azz and trying to use the same cap until I can buy a new one.LOL! I told you that the extended caps are perfect for the 18650s when i got mine
She has no trust in me lol we just went through all of this.

That is great news about the battery.ok so I got a better battery in here and its working now.
this new one I got is protected but seems to be doing fine.
its a marsfire 2600 mah and seems to be working great.
I will play with some settings for a while and report back...
The only thing I dont like about it at the moment is the sharpness of the slits in the side of it.
if I decide to keep it I will chamfer them a bit to make them smooth
