Picture of Your Setup Part 2!

Crappy pics from my cell phone, but good enough to get the gist.

The right side of my little kit has pre-made/mixed juice whereas the right side has unflavored nic juice, PG, VG, and flavoring.

iTaste MVP, Cool Fire I, Ego Clone used for stealth vaping in the office bathroom when I have to go to the office (I work from home full time), and not shown in a VV 3.0 and a couple others).

Various attys and tanks.

Not shown is the part of my kitchen devoted to DIY juice, which looks like something out of Breaking Bad (only with 100% less illegal narcotics production involved).

good god what in the

My setup is looking better.

One of the cheap knockoff ego batteries and cheap disposable clearomisers died. Now, I have one of the cheapo sets left, my red 1100 spinner with Kanger MT3S, blue 1300 spinner with Protank 3, 1100 EgoT with mini Protank, and my much cooler Innoken Coolfire I with the iClear 30b.

I tried charging the Coolfire battery in my new Intellicharger, but the yellow lights wouldn't stop flashing. Is this normal? The battery wasn't upside down.

LOL

I had a feeling someone would say something along those lines.

I'm one of those people that if I'm going to get into something I reeeeeaaaaaally get into it, lol. I also have a wonderful combination of ADD & OCD which means everything needs to be organized in some capacity.

That tackle box looking thing I just bought yesterday, and is awesome because it's portable and has just about anything I'd need in it. It also keeps a lot of vaping related stuff off my coffee table, which my girlfriend loves because there's more room for her crap that shouldn't be there either. :)

No, that's not normal. That's what you'd see if the battery was put in backwards (i.e. reversed polarity). I assume you have the positive (nipple) side facing in on the Intellicharger?

Do you have another rechargeable bat that you could put in there to see if you get the same results?

I didn't reverse the polarity, so something is wrong. It's the only battery I have, and the closest place to get a new one is two hours away. I've tried it two different times, in each separate slot, but each time, it flashes yellow. :-( Thanks for the reply, I unplugged it and was waiting to see what I would hear. Darn, I can't even try my Coolfire.

Are both the battery and the Intellicharger new? If I had to guess I'd say you got a bunk battery if you've never used it before.

Have you tried using the battery in your Coolfire? Will it turn on? Unless the battery is completely dead (or a dud) it should at the very least turn on before giving you the yellow or red indicator light...

I just looked at the Nitecor site. On that page, it shows my charger as having one yellow light flashing. When it's reversed, all the lights flash. Mine only has one light flashing, so maybe it's normal after all.

That's the page for mine. My light is the middle yellow light, not the top one, but maybe that's just because of the type of battery or the amount of charge already in it.

That sounds about right. Depending on the brand they typically come with some charge in them. I have 2 18350s for my Coolfire, and one blinking light is equal to yellow/red status on the Coolfire.

Another FYI, the Intellicharger doesn't change colors, sing a song, or anything else once the battery is fulling charged. It will just show three solid yellow lights in that bay.

Thanks so much, you've helped a lot! Does your tank leak a lot? The coil is tight on mine, and so are the tank parts, but it leaks terribly. I just dumped all of the juice out because it leaks so bad.

My pleasure!

I have 2 of the iClear 30b tanks, and have never really had any troubles with leaking. I went back and looked at the pic you posted and it looks like the liquid you've got in there is pretty dark (not sure if that's accurate, just looks that way in the photo). Darker liquids tend to leave more "resin" behind and can shorten the lifespan on your coils.

Have you used this tank before, or is it filled in your picture and ready for usage once you sort out the battery?

I'm assuming you've used it before, and if it were me I'd do two things:

1. Assuming you haven't already refilled the tank after dumping what was in there, completely break it down and run it under warm water. Make sure you unscrew the coil from the bottom 1/2 of the tank. It could very well be that when you got it it wasn't completely tightened to begin with, which would cause a mess of leakage. After cleaning everything and once the wicks on the coil dry, put it back together (making sure the coil is finger tight to the bottom half of the tank) and try using it again...

2. Once you're ready to use it again, try a little bit of a lighter color liquid (or something known to be safe with plastic tanks). I have no idea what you're vaping, but keep in mind there's a lot of stuff out there that can easily crack a plastic tank or cause other issues.
