@chanelvaps here's an expert assesment from a knowledge source....

Lithium-ion should not be discharged below 2.50V/cell. The protection circuit turns off and most chargers will not charge the battery in that state. A “boost” program applying a gentle charge current to wake up the protection circuit often restores the battery to full capacity. ( See BU-803a: How to Awaken Sleeping Li-ion )

It's not your coil placement.

@Robfisher experienced the same thing. He took one of the air discs and used his Dremel tool to make a larger hole (3mm). That improved it for him.

See the bottom of page 1 and the first post on page 2.

Great thanks. I'd been thinking about drilling out the 1mm air disc for a more restricted (than no discs at all) vape but now seeing @Robfisher doing it I'll definitely give it a try.
Double benefit - less noisy and a bit more restricted af.
I don't own a Dremel tool but will experiment with a drill bit. I've got a spare set of air discs from the dodgy clone so I can afford to use one as a guinea pig.

I don't know--loving one's life may be the goal, but, if it were a necessity, many would be in deep trouble.
You they or both,need to relearn or learn.how to love simply things and work out from there.


Example,Charlie might know something about football. that does not have a round ball.:)

Sounds like they've drained below two watts or more. Some chargers can recover them...depends what charger you've got.

Only other thing I can think of is use a full battery to put a little bit of charge into each one and that should give them enough to start charging. Use two bits of wire negative to negative, positive to positive then leave for a few minutes, say two, then try it in the charger again. Be very careful with the positive end and make sure your bare wire is not touching anything negative.... shouldn't be if it's well wrapped.....failing that just bin them :wub:

My charger does have a recovery mode. The problem is that the charger needs to sense enough charge to trip the electronic switch to on :)

That's my guess anyway.
Thanks Charlie, they went in the trash. Batteries are too cheap for me to go playing those games I watched on Youtube for getting juice in them. HA.

Too bad for them. They haven't learned how to properly live, enjoy and love life (and themselves).

As our wise @the wind kind of said, it ain't rocket science. ;) :D

    Maybe it is time for me to buy a Dvarw DL.

    :wub: I know you used to vape DL. But if you want to stick with a tighter MTL, ppl have done it with additional inserts:

    I managed to kill my first Dvarw DL PC tank tube :thumbs:
    It's my berry mix, so I doubt it was the juice. Plus the crack is right at the base, and is more likely caused by me over tightening the tank section :facepalm:

    Anyway, I found replacements here:
    https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005001843257749.html

    and for now, I'm trying the 6ml tank kit out with 25mm glass. If that ends up annoying me (by breaking, or how it looks), then I'll use a 3.5ml tank kit - as I have a few spares :D

    Functionality wise - I put the tank support back on since it's glass, and I'm good at breaking stuff. But I can unscrew it on and off the mod no problem, with the 25mm glass on.

    Okay this is weird. AVS sent an email with a sale code. So I grabbed a couple spools of wire and checked out. They mention age verification- I don’t recall them doing that before, but it has been a while. I put in my birthdate and checked out no problem. Got a confirmation, then I got an email asking for my driver’s license- and I replied just cancel the order, I’m not sending a pic of my DL.

    Five minutes later I get a shipping notice. Nothing since. So I maybe bought wire, maybe didn’t.

    I mean I’ve had shops ask for my DL, but when I declined, they canceled. Fair enough. Kind of weird if they ask for it then just go ahead with the order if ya tell them to pack sand. Or maybe they needed my $23 really bad. Lol.

    Code is 50off if anyone is interested.
    It's absurd that you need to show proof of your age to buy wire.

    So someone who is, say, starving, in an abusive relationship, working at a degrading job with a terrible boss, and has--oh, I don't know--postherpetic neuralgia and chronic migraines just doesn't have the right attitude if he or she doesn't love his/her life?

    Pshaw.
