With that charger, your IMR batteries should charge in 3-4 hours at the most. Do you have a multimeter to check them?
That's weird that it doesn't go from red to green when charged. Just green when inserted...very weird.
I think this was it the cone was pushing both the original seal and the first one i made down too far. Now that I've cut one extremely thin it appears to be working much better. I'm gonna wait awhile before I call it a complete success but so far so good.
You can always trim the original seal. There have been reports of some of them being too long. Sounds like yours is may be one of them.
I think some chargers use green to indicate charging and red to indicate not charging, whether be a fully charged battery in there or no battery. So maybe it will change to red when done. Although most chargers do use green to indicate done so who knows.
After 3 weeks I have started to develop a leak. Haven't had any problems until Friday (9/23) then I started noticing juice coming out the bottom of my Vmod. I took the skin off and I noticed juice around the bottom of the chassis. I followed the juice trail up the chassis and found it stopped just above the metal cup that the bottle screws into. It seems to leak if the Vmod sits for awhile like the juice is draining down from the Atty or the reserve. It will not be wet when I pick it up but after about two draws I start feeling the juice running out the bottom of my Vmod. To me it appears that juice is filling the catch cup and overflowing. It doesn't appear to be blown out from feeding the reserve because there is no juice on the inside of the skin. I believe the juice is draining out of the atty and leaking past the seal on the bottom of the atty. This floods the catch cup and leaks down the chassis as I tilt the Vmod to take a draw. Now! Any ideas whats going on here?? Or, How to prevent this?? Remember it just started a few days ago after almost three weeks without a leak.

Atomizers will start to gum up after a period of time, causing them to not hold juice as well. Either you need to vape your atomizer dry each time, or clean the atomizer. The easiest way is to soak the atty in some vodka or everclear for a few hours, blow it out, soak it for another hour, blow it out & let it dry. The alcohol will remove the gummed up juice, so it can wick properly again.
Have shot glass of Vodka that I drop atty in after every bottle or two of juice. Let soak, dry burn and it's like new again... Same atty 3 weeks now. Still has great vapor and taste.......
If the atty is still good, maybe it's just too juicy when you set it aside.
That's about all I've got...
Alrighty, I've been enjoying my Vmod But, I am having trouble with leaks.
I tried putting the atomizer in first, followed by the gasket. Then, I tried turning the gasket inside out. Any other suggestions?
Aside of the leaking, I really have nothing else negative to say about this mod.

Not sure to be honest?
I use it for a while, and when I take the casing off, the entire side (non-battery side and sometimes, but rarely, the battery side) is covered in a layer of juice. I can tell immediately if I take my cone off and see the outer layer of my atty covered in juice, so I assumed it was coming from the juice feeding well, but I dunno for sure?
No leaks with the cartomizer, just the atty.

Try vaping with the shell off.
It helps figure out where the problem is.
Your upper gasket could be a bit too long & forcing the juice out the top. If that gasket is too long, it blocks the feed hole & the pressure from feeding blows the seal.

So, the upper gasket being the removable piece that wraps around the atomizer?
By too long, do you mean circumference-wise? Or thickness-wise?
If the seal is blown, is it useless/needing to be repaired?

The upper seal looks like a carto condom without an end. If it's too long, it will cover the feed hole at the bottom of the chamber. When you squarsh the bottle, you'll be forcing juice to the outside of the seal, instead of into the chamber and atty. Nothing needs replaced when you blow by the upper seal, but you'll have leakage. If seal is too long, you can trim the end a millimeter.
