hi dude, if u bought from the same place, take a look at ur batt again... I noticed the Panasonic there are not rechargeable.

Hey man, i posted a pic of it. It is rechargeable 18650 i asked the people there. But it honestly doesn't look like the panasonic batteries i've seen online with the pure green skin.

maH rating is the 2nd thing you should look for in batteries, the priority should be the C rating or max continuous discharge rate. Which is usually express in C or in Amperes.

Anything less than 3C should not be used for vaping.
Is there anyway to find out a battery's C rating? Because all my battery's information came with was that it is 3100maH and 3.7v :(

dont look for the big mah rating if you''re using mech mods, try to find ''high drain battery'' and usually the specs will tell the c or Amps rating..

Hey thanks for replying, Nope not nitecore. It some random charger that they sold also with no brand, thought it would be legit but it on a second look it looks very fragile but i bought it anyways. any advice?

Now, most would just tell you to toss the charger. But as a backup or if you can't find a charger you fancy in the meantime, what MAY solve the "sometimes charging, sometimes not charging" problem is to observe the charge lights when you place the batteries. You'll find that if the battery's positive pole makes contact at certain positions, it will charge without any issue. It's not that the contacts on the charger are dirty. I would need to dismantle the whole charger to try to pinpoint the problem, which I'm too lazy to do on my nitecore which has the same problem.

So all you have to do would be to place a shim to ensure that the batteries make contact at that sweet spot each time you place it into the charger.

This is just my experience. It may or may not solve the problem with your charger.

Hey yeah i understand where you're coming from, the first time i actually charged the battery i had the problem of the positive and negative points not touching or have poor connection to the charger and the adjusted it to ensure it was better and the charging light came on, but the problem is that when i try to charge a used battery, the light that comes on is green instead of red. Green meaning that it is full charged, very confusing and frustrated w this weak device. I shall just go ahead and get a nitecore instead, thanks for the tips dude really appreciate it.
