Is it a plastic box?
Try turning the battery around and see if it makes contact with the terminal and spring.
EDIT...Oh, there is no spring?...both ends have a flat terminal?

Hang on I know what you're sayin....plastic's in the way right? boB
Sallana, I have a box mod with the same problem. I just took a small screwdriver and bent the connector out just a little until it made contact with the battery. Just pry it slowly and carefully. It doesn't take much bending for it to connect.
Sallana it probably needs a spacer...Clouds of Vapor has them if it turns out that is the problem. I have to use a spacer on my WetBox.
Yes... my phone wont send the pics for some reason.. but if the plastic that's holding the flat connector in was not there, the battery would make contact. There is a spring, and the spring is fine..
If you want to send me a SASE I'll send you a spare spacer I have.
I thought of that but there's also plastic OVER it so there's no way I could fit a bending tool in there
I'll send you a PM..boB would that work?
He made the mod, so just want to check in, lol
An option if you're careful worst case you're gonna break the plastic tabs tabs that hold the contact, but be careful cause the master on/off switch is right under there
Will work rather than a trading batts.
Or you can knife those tabs off and use some adhesive to hold that contact. Shouldn't take much.....could almost do without them, the pressure from the spring help keep things in place.boB
I don't want to break anything. Will the spacer do the trick without messing up the performance?
try putting some tinfoil folded nice and small between the battery and the connection it should make it tighter and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes just need to mess with it until it works.
You can also aquire a small magnet to fit between the two and this will do it, I have one for one of my mods also. You can also take a flat head screwdriver and try to make the spring a bit longer by stretching it just a bit at a time, don't go at this gungho~~~little baby steps until your battery fits. Usually it's the spring gets wound to tight and then the batts are too short.

Yeah that's what they're made for....I just figure you had batts with tips on them....sorry. boB
It's not how well the battery fits, is the that there's plastic between the battery and the connector... I think I'm going to trade something to Bovinia for a spacer.. but I want to make sure it will work without messing anything up.. I've had bad experiences with mods, lol
There's no need to be sorry o.0 Don't get all emo!
It's not a big deal. I'll take Bon up on the spacer and give her a lil present and all will be well.Thanks for the prompt replies, everyone! I
PIF.Spacers are made for those batts....you'll be good.....just wanted you up and running tonight.....don't buy hose batts anymore. They are just trouble....and they are only 600mah. boB
I think I know what you mean...there's those two tabs the the battery connector slides down into. What I've learned to do, is to use an exacto knife and shave the leading tab off. Then I use epoxy to hold the connector in place. That way the tabs don't obstruct the positive battery connection.
They were a gift.. I can't complain. But doesn't lower mAh just mean lower batt life? That's not a big deal since she sent me 2. And the tekk is up and running! And before I sent out Chelle's box mod I used her battery.. so I was able to try out my Blue.
Who was looking for glass bottles? Was it Gonzo? I found a classified for them.

Gotcha I figured you were using B's batt when this popped up. Those batts will work, and are a nice gift, but a lot of mods are requiring spacers to use them, and most, like myself don't keep in mind when building mods some people use them. For the price though get you some 900mah ultra or trustfires better batt life, and like I said you'll run into that problem on other mods. I still think you can "tweak" that contact and make it work, but the way things are going better not press our luck! boB
