Odd, can't figure out

Hi, I have the UltraFire 16340 880Mah 3.6V batteries that I got today.
I find that putting them in the GLV, the fit is too long a tube for the batteries. Although, the spring extends fairly far inside bottom of unit, the batteries do
not seem to extend up far enough to connect to the little metal connector
at the top in order for it to fire. I got a few vapes off of it today, but it
is very irregular as it appears that the batteries slip down and loose their contact. Is there a spacer or something needed beside the spring in the bottom?
Confused. Am I doing something wrong??

It sounds to me like the spring needs to be stretched a little,.. the new button is shorter on the inside ,and can make this happen. I would be happy to fix it for you if you can't. Send me a PM with your number if you want and I can talk you through it over the phone.

You can also try a small magnet that just covers the (-) negative end of one of the bats. or two magnets to take up the slack. I had the same problem on a Screwdriver and this fix works great. I just leave it on the battery even when charging with no problems at all.
