I really like the brown. But, putting any label on them makes them too fat. So, I bought pink and green. The pink are smaller and fit in mods better. So pink wins!
I found brown & got 5 pair this morning. Three of the 5 I have are done, found a tear in the wrap of another, so I have 1 pair. Come on vapemail! Ixll have to use my iSticks while waiting for my 1pr to charge. Ixm just going to retire all of them since I got them all within a few months of each other. REALLY wishing I could marry some of these single browns I have.

My original KFL-Primes have a logo on the chamber which make it convenient when turning the tank to open the juice control/flow. The logo acts as an index to know how far I've turned the tank when opening it.
My SXK did not copy the Svoe logo on their clones. My solution ... I engraved a big 'dot' on the chamber. Here's and before an after picture.
Tools and materials list.
1. a 9 volt battery
2. some Q-Tips
3. 2 test leads with small alligator clips on each end
4. electrical tape
5. a hole punch
6. a small bowl of water with salt added
5. 5 minutes watching a youtube on DIY SS engraving

Worked a charm!

I got my email from The Grommet this morning & they are shoshowing a set of pliers, needlenose pliers, & wire cutters that look h work like scissors. The handles are awesome! People with dexterity issues will love these! No more fumbling to hold or dropping them! Woohoo!

At 20.00 a pair they should be very novel as well as sparkly, & useful!Now that's a novel idea for pliers.

I hit the jackpot! I found someone who can build coils for me! He finds it interesting!
I just hope he doesn't get too bored of it.

Nope. He's just mechanically inclined and likes to mess with stuff.
I think I'll keep him interested by giving him a variety of RBAs to build. I wouldn't want him to get bored!
He's my future son-in-law. So, hopefully he'll be around long term. That'll be nice as I get older. He's very sweet and helpful. And loves to fiddle with things.
Well, I got my new batteries & have run into a problem I've never heard of.
I had to charge all of them when I got them. Sets before came charged already, but it's been about 2+ years since I bought new batteries so laws could be involved. They all charged fine. Used one set & changed out, h put them in the 2 bay charger. One charged fine, 3 solid lights = full charge. The other batt of the set never moved from one light blinking, so it wasn't charging. Put a set of the old ones in to test. Same thing. Tossed that charger, & got out the back up charger, indentical to the other, brand new, never used, Nightcore Intellicharger i2. Same result. I got another old set & trying it again. I've just ordered another charger. 2 sets of batts, 2 different chargers. No bueno. What's going on?

AFAIK, lithium's are never shipped fully charged, only partial. So charging prior to first use is generally recommended.
Make sure I have this right. One of the new ones doesn't charge in either charger, but one does? And with your old batteries, one charges and one doesn't? If that's the case, yes, it does point to a bad charger, but having two bad exactly the same way is a stretch...
Can you check the voltage of the new one that won't charge? If no discrete volt meter, try in a single battery regulated mod to see if you get any reading. It may just be over-discharged, and the chargers may be ok. (Yes, some claim to be able to bring them back, but don't know about the ones your have, and that's considered by many to not be a good procedure, and it can take several hours for those to actually start the recharge.)
And IF overdischarged, contact the vendor.

Both old & new batts are doing it. Bay on left seems to not be working at all. I may have shorted that bay on both chargers. I found that one of the old batts had a worn spot on the negative bottom edge. Have a new charger on the way. I won"t put any old batts in the new charger at all.

David, much more helpful response than I would have given.
My reaction? OMG, what could it be? Sounds just like something that would happen to me! Especially when it comes to toppers! When I'm having trouble with one, it seems to spread!
Good luck with your new batteries and charger, Kenna!

Glad it's sorted out. Although I'm a bit surprised that a worn wrap there would be a risk to the charger, since the bottom and the side of the battery are the same piece of metal, all negative.
Then I'm lost again. I thought maybe the wrap peeled back & contacted the metal slide piece in the charger.

Hi - I have the D2 charger. It looks like the slidy rails are placed sufficiently far down to avoid making contact with the side of the battery.
I don't know if there's a minimum battery voltage the unit needs before it will start charging? Its manual mentions 2.8V, but I don't know if that's just safety notice type-thing.
Here's hoping your new one Just Makes Everything Work!
