I have that same flashing LO problem with the red AW IMRs that Tim has. And not with the blue stock batteries.

You still have that issue with your V8? Moody said she changed the head of her Vivi Nova to 2.4 ohms and somewhat resolved the issue. Still haven't tried it though. I'll try it out this coming week.

mines going great on the cheap ebay yellow ultrafire bats marked 1200ma
bit hard to get in, but work fine with 2.5 ohm single coil tank at 4ish volts
and last about 2x 4.5ml tanks
which is well over a day for me

Its great that it's working real well with you. I have the same pair of batteries. But you are luckier than I am.

This is what the Vendor said

Also a few things we've run into
1. Don't over tighten cartos on the V8, it can potentially cause a short
2. Use better batteries (AW IMR if you can get them there)
3. No cartos lower than 1.6ohms


a few units have had issues and some of the problems have been traced to the above.


Thanks
Eric

Alright, will be doing items 2 and 3. Thanks!

Hey, good news! Thanks for sharing. Do you have a link for the eBay ones?

Damn, I forgot that I was charging my Ultrafire batteries for the V8. I think I left it at the charger for 3 hours. And it usually charges at about 2 hours...... Now I'm worried about using those batteries. should I get rid of them?

No... that isn't a problem. I think if that was the case, there would be one giantic landfill full of vaper's ecig batteries... if that kind of thing really worries you, maybe you should get a multi meter thing to check your batteries every time you charge.

Yes I do still have the problem. Mookie said to switch to 2.4 ohms. I will try that.

I also have the problem when using 2.0 and 1.5 dual coil cartos in a tank.

P, it depends on what charger you are using. If it is an Xtar or a better one, I wouldn't worry about it. If it is the stock charger I would try them and see if they act wonky.

Oh Drag, sorry didn't know you are in Tokyo - there are lots that ship there I found 2 pages and ended up trying this one 2 ULTRAFIRE 18350 RECHARGEABLE BATTERY 1200mah 3.7v Lithium-ion | eBay

My son worked at Docomo right after he got out of college. He absolutely loved living in Tokyo and loved Japan!

Bingo! Thanks. Are they definitely going to fit and work though...? I don't want the problems others are having...

Oh, interesting. How long was he here for? Yes, Tokyo is a very amazing city, but I have been here a loooong time and miss western culture. By they way, what happene to your old pic with the city scape behind. I liked that one. Or am I confusing you with someone else now?

That's-a-me :) I'll see if I can put it back up. He was there until shortly after 9/11. He went because he studied Japanese all through high school and college and I never could afford to send him, so he sent himself. A few months after he graduated college; it was his first real job. He named his dog Taka after a train station :)

p.s. that cityscape one is still on my profile page :)
