Are you clearing the electronics before changing battery configurations?

From the instruction booklet:

Note: Before you make a switch between one battery and two batteries, please hold the "

" button for 5 seconds to release the remaining capacity in the mainboard. (when you make a switch from one battery to two batteries, the mainboard will keep the one battery settings if you haven't released the remaining capacity; and vice versa.)

Hey sorry to resurrect a resolved topic but I picked up a couple of efest 18350s a while back just to try stacking out. I finally got around to trying it out today and popped out my 650, held down the fire button for a minimum of 5 seconds but in reality in my many attempts I also did 10+ secs as it never would fire higher than 6v when I put the dual 350s in. It still fired and seemed to be firing at a higher hotter but I stuck with the 650 just because I wasn't sure it it was aware and didn't want to over drain the batteries. The few times I fired it I didn't receive any message that my battery was low or anything like OP.

Shouldn't the vv/vw options change when I switched to dual batteries? Not sure what I'm doing wrong and it's not terribly important if I figure it out or not except I probably won't get any use of these batteries.

The SVD is only good for 3-6 volts. Doesn't matter what battery. Its a regulated device.

I also use the SVD I use an 18650 battery in it but I do have a nice stack 18350 set. I sometimes use ((notice I said set)) this is because its important with Lithium batteries that if you use them in a stack that they be kept together for the rest of there life as a matched set, you will want to use them only as a set if you use one without the other you disrupt that set and they shouldn't be put back together as a set just keep that in mind when stacking batteries. I am a RC hobbyist and have a nice balance charger for my batteries its easy to keep track of matched sets with a sharpie pen.

I'm on my phone so I may not have been clear enough. I purchased 2 efest aw imr 350s 800mahs about 2 months ago as a pair for trying this specifically. I didn't even charge them until yesterday. Checked the voltages and they were the same as far as the accuracy of my multimeter goes.

Yep I got that just wanted to point out keeping them as a pair if that's the plan for them. I know a couple of folks who have used sets then split the sets to use single batteries then tried to rematch them into a set again. sometimes you get away with it, but sometimes you end up with a dangerous battery fire. Be safe and happy vaping
