No, it can't be how you vape! I only need to charge my batteries every few days... although I use a lot of devices at the same time lol... Still... my Ovale V8 is my primary device at the moment, so it gets used a LOT. It must be the batteries that are wrong...
My ovale resets itself like crazy! It resets itself to 5 v whenever i press the switch.
That's right, long drags really shouldn't be an issue. It really is irritating when I get that "Lo" sign when I vape.
I'll definitely look for new batteries. Maybe IMRs will work?
I had that problem for one day, I got such a HUGE fright and thought that my Ovale was broken. (I was using an EMDCC).
Anyway, I changed to another carto, cleaned the connection threads carefully with alcohol, and working perfectly well again. No problem since.
Lol! Oh my! I will never hear those two little words with an innocent mind ever again.... Without thinking of Fifty...
Oh dear! Have you tried other cartos with the same result?
Lol! Anyway, yes I tried to use two different cartos and a RA but still no luck.
Apparently IMRs are better for VVs and the Ovale is very picky. 18350s aren't all the same length. You need to get short IMRs. The AWs work. Some longer ones cause it to read "lo" almost immediately.
So I posted yesterday about getting the LO reading on my v8 when the batteries were freshly charged. I checked with the vendor on his thread and was told that the manufacturer has told him two different things, could be low battery or it could be too low resistance carto problem. I changed to a different carto and now it's fine. I'm not sure I understand why this worked, but it did. Just thought I'd share.
The carto you were using was evidently to low of resistance and with voltage you were using exceeded the 2.5 amp max for the V8 or it was so low in resistance that the V8 saw it as a short.

Okay, I understand now. Thanks for explaining. I'm not very good with the mechanics of everything.
I just tried a couple of red IMR 18350 800mah batteries in the V8. They are just slightly longer than my other 18350s. "Lo" started flashing on the display right away. But again, these do show "IMR" on them, so I dunno. The red batteries also do not work in my ~The Gripper~ from MadVapes.
From a co-op thread, the difference in size between different 18350s:
It the pictures didn't transport in the quote, but you can click on the little arrow next to skipdashu's name to see the pics.
The difference between these batteries is millimeters; sometimes just one millimeter. I bought some good quality, bargain, red generics that trigger the "lo" message on my V8s but they work fine on my Little Chuck which isn't as finicky about size. For the V8s I'm sticking to AW IMRs. They fit.

The owner of Mad Vapes is checking it out to see if they will work with the Ovale -- he wasn't sure.
