That's a great idea Carrie. I also balked at giving them my SSN. I didn't need to when I was an affiliate at another place - especially when earning just a few dollars here and there (under $100). Not sure it is even reportable until you go over $2,000 (that's how it is with gambling winnings). So for someone that would generate lots of sales, I could see it. That's just not me. But that would be on our end, perhaps on their end they need to prove that money went out to someone.

voltie Question I now have my first sealed volt I now have 3 (2 not sealed older ones)
Why or what Am I doing wrong that my attyies wont work in the sealed but do on my other volts?
I lowered the atties pin some and still nothing.only thing working on it is the CE2....
Also maybe you all have some charger knowledge?
I have 2 chargers one volt and one 901 and 3 808 batts that wont charge on either..
I also have a ego charger and 808 to 510 adapter but afraid to put anything but an ego on there.
These batts are used but sent to me charged and worked just fine not the vapor I like but they worked in a pinch.
Thay came with a A 808 pcc that wont charge them either... seeing as I know they hold a charge what in that word do I need to charge them?
Imagine seeing as I and some can't use cartos (filler blisters my mouth/throat) I would more than be happy with an atty that would work with the sealed volt. I know how ppl feel about dripping an auto but I'm living proof you can if you take care..
and a sealed volt is better then one not sealed if you have no choice but an atty no?
Still getting my sky blue I'll just have no choice but a ce2 but dripping just taste so good...
Hmmm - I just tried a 901 atty on a couple of my sealed Volt batts and it won't fire either. I'm thinking airflow issue.
As far as your charging issues: Have you tried elevating the battery connector just a smidge?
Thanks for replying. yes the batts blink when inserted LED no stay onHmmm - I just tried a 901 atty on a couple of my sealed Volt batts and it won't fire either. I'm thinking airflow issue.

and after 4+ hours more then enough time not one vape just more dead blinking.

I'd try cleaning the charger and battery connectors with alcohol on a Q-tip, then use a needle to gently nudge up the battery connector a bit.

Hi Janie46 welcome
Here is the link to the points explanation : Smokeless Image | Only The Best Electronic Cigarette | Points and Rewards
I had a problem recently with points being deducted but no reduction in final price. The CSR at SI fixed this and redeposited my "spent" points. But then I was not awarded points for what I spent and was advised that, because I used a discount code, that points would not be awarded. Is that correct?
I'll try that thanks RaveHmmm - I just tried a 901 atty on a couple of my sealed Volt batts and it won't fire either. I'm thinking airflow issue.

I agree with Rave that the atties not firing could be an airflow thing. All of my atomizers have a flat bottom with an air hole down the middle. The "sealed" auto batteries have two tiny air holes on the sides of the main positive pin. So if you screw in a flat-bottom atty, there's no way to get any air flow through those tiny side-holes of the battery. Of course, the older unsealed auto batteries have the air hole straight down the middle, so those would indeed mate up just fine with any atty.
You'll want to be careful about how many ohms, the resistance, of the atomizers, clearomizers, or other vendors' cartomizers you screw onto a Volt battery. I would not try a low-resistance (LR) one on a Volt battery, as the Volt batteries are not designed to be able to supply the high current they require. And if you screw on one that has too high of a resistance, say 3ohms or more, you're not going to get much performance at all. The Volt cartomizers I've tested come in right around 2.5ohms + or - .3ohms.
It's one of the beauties of the Volt system, that the Volt batteries and cartomizers are perfectly balanced in voltage, ohms, and amps to work together without a user having to deal with fiddly bits. Sorry to hear you cannot tolerate cartomizer fillers, what a bummer.
As for chargers, I only use Volt chargers with Volt batteries. Here again, Smokleless Image selected their USB charger dongle to supply the perfect charge current and voltage to charge the Volt batteries.
I'm afraid I'm not quite following what you wrote about your charger situation, but I think you are saying one is a Volt charger and it's not working with the Volt batteries? Could you please look on your Volt USB charger (the little dongle) and see if it says this:
USB CHARGER
USB Input 5V DC 500mA
Output 5V DC 150mA
Where I'm getting at is that pretty much all 808 threaded USB charger dongles look identical. There is no logo on the Volt charger, so the only way you can be pretty sure that it came from Smokeless Image is if it says the above on it. You say some of your stuff you bought used, so I'm trying to figure out if you got the USB charger used and if so, if it is the one intended for the Volt or not, heck, if you bought it used, it may be broken. Some other vendor's chargers indeed do work with the Volt battery, but I'm trying to get a baseline on what your situation is.
Also, remember that if your battery is already charged, the LED light won't light when you plug it into the charger. It might just blink three times to tell you that it's already charged and then go out.
I've not found anyway to take apart a Volt battery without destroying it because the threaded end is both press-fit and glued into place and that's the end that all the guts slide out of as one unit. So, if one of the wires broke inside at the threaded end, you cannot get to it. Or if one of the wires at the little chip end broke off, there's no way to pull it out far enough to solder it back on either.
Here's how the connections go inside of the battery. The "End Chip" as you call it, has both the tiny airflow-activated switch and has the LED on its little circuit board. When you suck in, the air passes through a tiny hole on this circuit board, activating the switch, and that switch turns on its LED and also completes the circuit to the positive center post way up at the threaded connector where the cartomizer screws on (+Threads). The negative side of the battery is soldered to the outside negative part of the threaded connector (-Threads). Here's my best crude attempt to give you a visual:
End chip <----------+ BATTERY- -------> -Threads, outside part of connector
|LED
V
----------------------------------------> +Threads, center post of connector
-------AIR FLOW -----------------------------------------------> CARTOMIZER -------> Vapor
Oops, my drawing is for an auto battery. For a manual battery, it would be different, the LED and end chip would be connected to a switch. My bad. I haven't disassembled a manual Volt battery yet.
I belive the limit is or was $600, but supposedly it was changing so that employers had to report every individual, no matter how little they were paid. (That was info from the IRS last summer - I don't know if that legislation passed.) I found that out when I went head to head with the state Attorney General's office. They wanted to order a transcript that would have been well under the limit, and not only wanted my SS number, but also access to my bank account (!!!) so they could pay me electronically. It's tricky for me to refuse a transcript, so I was doing my homework.
Is there a Blog with all the tips of the trade? For instance, which tanks, cartos, etc work on the Volt. How to clean the Volt battery. How to do everything, from Bling to meter reading.
(there's a lot of tips in this thread, but when it's my turn to use that tip, I can't find it lol).
There's no blog that I know of (but that's not saying much). IMHO the best carto for the Volt is the Volt horizontal coil carto. They work hand in hand to deliver the best vapor and flavor. I've used all kinds of tanks, but I can't think of one that would recommend for the Volt. But - just my experience (which is rather extensive consider the variety of PV's that I've used with an ridiculous number of tank types, cartos, carts, cart mods, and what-nots in 2 1/2 years) tells me: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
It is difficult to find answers to specific questions in this monster thread - But that's why we're here. Just ask!
I love the cartos! But, sometimes we need backups to our backups, ya know what I mean? FDA, ANTZ,.... you name it, we stockpile against them and SI sometimes runs out of stock just like the rest of the busy vendors.
Hi all. I just got my Volt the other day...am loving it! However I was wondering how to know when I should use a new carto. I think maybe it is time to change it (I used it a lot during the past two days) and while I'm still getting vapor, there's not much flavor at all and Im getting a slight burning scent when I smell the vapor or the cartridge.
Yeah - It's time. Typically I "refresh" my carto occasionally by adding some nicquid to it by dripping a few drops down the inside of the carto. That way - it doesn't reach the burning taste level. When the draw on the carto starts to get "tight", I pitch it (either in the trash or the pile of cartos to clean).
Ah - I gotcha! Sounds like Modrod is having good luck with CE2's on a Volt, but I may be making a presumption there. I've had good luck with CE2's but I haven't tried a KR808 CE2. I'd be really leery of using them on auto batteries though. Sometimes the little devils develop leaks.
