You really won't know the answer to that until you get a multimeter to check them. This is something I would highly recommend you purchase and have as part of your vaping gear. It will assist you greatly in ensuring, among other things, battery safety. You can't rely on the vmax to give you an accurate reading to measure your batteries fresh off the charger. I've seen everything from 7.9 - 8.2 when my multimeter reads 4.25 per battery.

That sounds like it would be a good thing to do.At this point, I guess I'll try the fusion in a while and see how that works out. Also the spring came out this last time I was putting the batts in; I just put it back in the bottom and it seems to have connected-hope it stays.

will do,Freddie.....uhoh

Yep, definitely not normal. Just another thought...but isn't this the charger that allows 2 different settings depending on your battieries? 3.2 and 3.7v? Might want to just make sure it's in the proper position? Forgive me if I'm stating something that appears obvious to you, just going through the checklist.

I've been around ECF regularly and check this forum daily adding a tid bit here and there. Don't venture over to that other forum since my Vmax came in and is working fine, fortunately. :)

I fully UNDERSTAND my sister! I am just glad your VMAX is good! I actually traded my SILVER VMAX from the CO-OP for an ORIGINAL SILVER "BEAST"! Now my "BEAST" collection is COMPLETE and put away! As I am now going to get nothing BUT the SS versions due to getting REBUILDABLE ATTY's! CHEEHOO...:D

Sure,I understand.....it's in the 650mah and 3.7 position.......hope this is right?I'm grateful for all of this help. I don't feel real comfortable dealing with these batts,so all the help I can get is most appreciated, Fuzzione.

Yep, sounds fine. I know this must be frustrating for you as we all want our gear to work correctly right out of the box. These things happen. Just sit tight until Freddie can get back to you and heed his advice about not using the charger any more. Could be defective. No doubt CCV will stand behind their sales if this is the case and get you a replacement. Once you're all sorted believe me the vmax will deliver the goods.

Bruce is too tough for me to work with.
Had issues with him and never looked back!


Me too, that crap juice he calls butterscotch that he's sooooooo proud of, I finally broke down and bought a 10mL bottle....thats the most I have EVERRRR paid for a 10mL bottle in 2 years of vaping. Then I get it and keep in mind it "suppose" to 100% ALL ""VG"", I get it and it's as thin as water and dilluted down with What seemed to be 30+% PGA (pure grain achohol). So much it literally burned the crap out of my mouth , lips, gums, throat. The stuff was horrible. I send him a email, I call, email, call 3 weeks later I get a response email. "just pop the cap off for a few days and it will be fine"....Are you kidding me ? So I do that, 4 days later half the bottle was evaporated. So all in all.... I paid $12+ shipping for 5mL bottle of slightly butterscotch flavored achohol that I could of made at my house for around $.28 cents. Needless to say I was highly P.O'd !!! NEVER EVER EVER WILL BRUCE GET ANOTHER PENNY OF MY MONEY. I simply could not believe their was a vendor like that doing things how he does and not only getting away with it but making a killing doing it.

OK stop! I need you to contact CCV regarding your situation! You MUST go into detail with what is happening with batts. and that your charger is set to the CORRECT settings! Do this IMMEDIATELY!

I talked to Andrew; I've had really great experiences with him in the past,and this time is no different. He's going to test a charger for me before he sends me a new one,and also send me some batts. I love dealing with the vendors who stand behind their products; that in and of itself says volumes.
Thanks so much for taking the time with me,all of you; This is a great testimony about the kind of folks here on the Vmax board!

Glad to have you aboard, sis. Not much doubt that you'd be well taken care of by CCV. Suckin' back vmax vape through an 801 Fusion....you'll soon see it was all worth it :vapor:
