Charging query

[DavrosCC]

Hiya,

I got my nitecore i2 charger and a couple of purple efest 18650s today and have had a wonderful day of vaping bliss with my nemesis clone. I noticed the first one I put in start to dwindle away, so slapped it in the charger. Charger gave me three solid lights after about three hours (seems a bit quick) and although I haven't got any way of measuring volts, when I put it back in the mod all it could muster was a pissy dribble of vapour. I put it back in the charger, and it went straight back to one flashing yellow light! Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

What ohm is your coil?

it's a .9 ohm coil. Do you think I've trashed my batteries through stupidity and lack of experience? I was carefully monitoring the mod for any signs of it getting warm!

It depends on what your batteries are rated for....and probably where you bought them...

On the nem, you need to make sure the bottom pin is secure, otherwise it comes loose and can affect performance

Charger and batteries both came from myepack - batteries rated at 30A. I found another thread on here with a similar problem to mine - the batteries are "charging" far too quickly, and lasting for hardly any time. Perhaps myepack got a faulty batch of chargers. I think I had best email them. Thanks for the tip re the bottom pin, though!

I tried a generic 18350 that I got from my local B & M and that has had the same result. Got some sony VTC4s coming soon, but looks like I'm gonna get one use out of each with this charger. Oh well, at least I bought it from a reputable company. Thanks for your help, KMS.
