Anyone chime in please
Do you have the same charger or what charger you use with your 18350 batts

Hi ya, Tramane. I had a TR-001, but it didn't last more than about 5 weeks. (One of those 4 week warranty, 5 week useful life items.) I replaced it with an Xtar (and extra spacers for charging 18350s).
Is yours new? Did you contact the vendor?

I have one of these too but untill now no problems but the squeeky sound when charging for the first hour or so. After testing i came to the conclusion that it occurs because of the high drain from the charger. Maybe that's what killed yours.
I never have my charger plugged in before inserting the batts and never take them out with the charger plugged in. Using it for about 4 weeks now, 3 times a week (depends) so it must be getting "old".........
Will give an update as soon as it survives the 5-6 week usage.

What does it do with a longer battery? Like an xx500 or xx650.
On some of my chargers with the slides (like my TR-003-P4) I sometimes have to give the slider a nudge towards the - side of the battery for it to make good contact. Or try spinning the battery while it's in the bay.
Bring it up to the CTV meet in Round Rock tonight and let's have a look. I'll bring some longer batts.

Is it possible that the batteries are fully charged? What does your VMax show for voltage with them installed? Remember that the mah rating of these 18350 is roughly 1/4 to 1/2 of an 18650. They do recharge rather quickly on a decent charger.
Maybe it's not making a good connection because it's a smaller battery? Are they fitting tightly in there? Maybe you need battery spacers. I am actually selling a pair here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...es-juice-drip-tips-adapters-hr-atomizers.html
I used them to charge my 15270 batteries successfully with a tr001 charger

Yes, the 2 blue ones in front. Those aren't batteries, those are spacers. Pm me if you are interested
I've never used 18350 batteries so I don't know how they fit in the tr-001 charger but maybe the spacers will help them connect better, if that is the issue...
I have been using 18350's on my TR-001 for a month as well. They are working great so far, however, the first few times I used them in the charger, I had to spin them to a position that made the light red. Now I just set them in there and plug in the charger and they work. I am using some generic flat top, blue imr 800mah batteries, and it charges them to 4.2v. 
It does make a high pitched noise that is barely audible while charging and has done so the last couple of years I have used the charger.
