Weird SB battery problem

[gratefulme]

I've been vaping for a couple months shy of 2 years now. I used a SB for quite a while, then acquired some 3rd gens and stopped using it. Well Both of my 3rd gens are out for repairs right now, so I've came back to my trusted SB. There seems to be a problem though. I can use it at 3.7 with an 18650 just fine. When I put to 3v batteries in it wont get any juice. I've checked it with a multi-meter. Voltage is just fine with an 18650, but with life PO4's I get nothing. Same with the tenergy 900MAH's. I can't think of anything in the world that could cause this. I have 4 sets of the Life PO 4's and two set's of the tenergy LI Ion's So It's not just one set doing it. Help please.

My guess would be that the shrink wrap on your 3v batteries is a bit small and is not making contact with the spring. When you install the batteries, tap the bottom of the SB in your palm. A lot of times this will align the batteries.

That why your the man.

Offset spring: that's how I spell relief. I had to adjust it with an ink pen, but it works great again. In my vaping time I've had 12 different mods. Every one of them has had a problem, and had to be sent in for repair, or I had to do more maintenance than I thought I should That is except my SB. That was the first problem it ever had, and I guarantee it's had the most use.

Thank's Chad for being there with a quick answer, and for creating a great mod. Every time I touch the button I remember how much I love this mod.
