Problem with Battery...

[Necrotic]

Today at 1 pm I replaced my 18650 AW IMR battery in my Vamo (the battery was charged the night before). I used it a lil bit whilst walking to work (was having problems with my coil in my aerotank... it kept reading low ohms when screwed on to tight... stupid stock coils!) I was using it not long ago and all of a sudden it red Low ohms and I unscrewed it slight (as I've been doing when it does this) and it wouldn't fire or anything... It wouldn't do anything even after I took the entire tank off... I'd used it maybe a total of 45 mins - 1 hour at 10 watts... My question is do you think the battery could be faulty? When I put them into my Vamo they usually read 4.1v instead of 4.2 as they should after just getting off a full charge.

Yeah, they should charge all the way up to 4.2v. Mine do.

Your batteries may be old or your charger may be at fault here. What kind of charger are you using?

Your Aero will drain batteries faster than a single coil atty, but not that fast.

If you are reading low ohms then your coil might be loose or more likely it is dropped below 1.2 ohms the minimum that the vamo will work with. I'd change the coil first and see what happens. also on the Vamo if you hold one of small buttons down for 3 seconds it should display the ohms for the existing coil. Get a read on the coil, then change it.

Not sure if this will help but my eco battery did this a few days ago. I found a youtube ( e-cig battery repair ) video that showed how to lift the pin back up a bit and it solved the problem.

The Low Ohms is only when I tighten the threading down entirely to my Vamo... other than that when its slightly loosened I get 2.2 ohms. Also I'm using a brand new Nitecore i2 charger.

Well I'm using the same battery that died yesterday right now. It seems to be working great for me.. have been using it for about an hour all together and its only down to 4.0v So I guess I might have just had it on the charger wrong and didn't actually charge correctly.

On a good note! I changed the pyrex glass on my aerotank (went from clear to purple)! And I got vapemail! 5 bottles of zeus juice... can't wait to try them!
