sky, they sold those things for two years without a problem. from what i read overcharging and draining the batt to far down can make some of the cells inside unstable.
i checked the charger and i believe the green light is accurate, so when you see it turn green take the battery off. this type of charger will not stop charging on its own, if yours does i would use it. still, it's really not a good idea to keep batteries on a charger way beyond the necessary charge time.

Once again tib you come to my rescue. LOL. Thank you.

Okay............in to the charger they go!

Ok, but how do you tell when the batteries are getting low? It says you shouldn't discharge them too low right?

Skydragon: if you get the 3V batts I would make sure that your charger can handle them. I have not ran across one that can charge 3V & 3.7V.

*If anyone knows where you can get one of these I'm sure someone would be grateful for the link :)

cricket, the manual claimed batteries should last about 8 hrs. i switch mine every 4 hrs and i'm not a heavy vaper -

the ultrafire wf-188 is switchable 3.2v/3.7v

Thanks tib I'll have to set a timer or something, lol. :)

At first I was going to try and get it set up so I could use the Thermo at 6V which would have required the 3V 900MaH batts which can not be charged on the charger I got. I ordered this + the 17670.

I had seen this warning at batteryjunction.com and wanted to share:
"NOTE: The power output of this charger is incorrect for the protected 3V 750 & 900mah RCR123A cells that we carry. We specifically do not recommend using this charger for those cells. Only use this charger with 3.6 & 3.7V cells."

Just..inconsistent vape. One good hit, 3 lousy. Button doesn't always fire, have to push in then to the side - may be defective, may be me, not sure. Sending it back. I'm sad, it was so....blue! lol (can you tell my fave color?)

It may not be blue, but if you want a decent priced 3.7v with awesome batt life and compact size and 510 threads, the Roughstack at Madvapes is awesome. :)

Thanks for the heads up B, but Ive got a hex mod coming, I'm sure that will work great - and I shouldn't have spent the money anyway, with my $$ sitch. I just got caught up in all the fuss. :) I'll just chalk it up to experience, and eat the to-fro shipping. I'm sure this little unit works great for 99.9% of those who get it, Im not bad-mouthing the mod! Sure was cute...

Yes, it's adorable! That's why I suggested the little Roghie, it's just as cute, just not blue. :) Sorry it didn't work out for you honey.

Just wanted to follow up a bit and say - I am really impressed with the customer service! I emailed the company for a return at 10 p.m. this evening, and they refunded me the full price - including shipping - within 1 hour. I would definitely do business with them again! Please don't let my one experience shed a bad light on the sparkplug - no one else seems to have had this problem, and it sure is a cute little mod at a great price.

:) Positive experience overall :)

No I didn't... I put the batts in put end cap on then put
the adapter on. Did I do it wrong?

It depends on which battery you are using. Somewhat confusing is the fact that not all 16340 (rc123a) batteries are the same physical size. But yes, as already suggested, put the 510 adapter on first, then screw on the end caps.

Small learning curve with sparkplugs. A little trial and error.

Just got mine today. Love it. :)

Good luck, JJ
