help with itastevv3 and iclear 16's please

[tracerace1]

hi all  please help

I received my new it3 less than a week ago.....I loved it until today!

Battery is only lasting about 1 hour, maybe 2 at a push...........even my old ego's last me most of day?

is that right guys or am I doing something wrong?

then to put tin lid on it, I put fresh new clearo on filled with strawberry 70/30 went to screw mouthpiece on
and the top of the clearo sheared straight off in my hand.....help/advise please?

Are you letting the green light go out when it is on charge?

When you say sheared off, which part? any pics?

Assuming the battery is being fully charged, even using it at maximum voltage with a low ohms atty it should last a lot longer then 1 - 2 hours. That coupled with the poor performance of the iclear 16 would make me get onto the vendor for replacements or a refund.

it is a good vendor who sells on here, I wont mention who, but you think its faulty ffs?

thank you for answering

[Roscopecotrain]

Have to agree with @freefromsmoking here, would be worth contacting them for replacement or refund me thinks.

[tracerace1]

thank you both thought I was going mad
will email them and send back

The iclear is definitely faulty unless you have the strength of Jeff capes!

You should clean the contacts on the battery and the charger and then fully charge the battery.

You would then need to check the output voltage of the battery with a multimeter when fully charged  ... it should be around 4.1 - 4.2 volts. If not, then either the battery or your charger are faulty.

whilst on here guys can you suggest a glass clearo that will last me, something simple to recoil/wick and what equipment i'll need?
thanks again x

OH N WHERE TO GET ONE OF THEM

No need for a multimeter on an itaste mini - it has one built it - just hit the + & - when its fully charged and it will give the voltage of the battery

But yeah the 800mah battery is a bit rubbish on these little babies but they should be comfortably lasting more than a couple of hours

Glass clearo - to use with an itaste mini it has to be a mini Protank or mini Davide really

I don't do recoiling of clearos, just wash every couple of days and replace the atty when necessary. I use the new Aspires which I can't praise highly enough and a few iclear 16s.

If you don't have a multimeter then the only thing I can suggest is making sure that the battery charge indicator on the itaste is glowing green when you fire it up when fully charged

The protank 2 or mini protank 2 are great glass clearomisers. There are the aspire dual bottom coil clearos just out. @freefromsmokimg is the man for those and kanger are just about to bring out the dual coil protank 3 which looks very nice.

I'm not a big fan of large tanks on slim batteries like egos and itaste mini's - yes you can buy a beauty ring but it still looks kind of wrong

Mini protank II all the way - not tried the aspire glass ones yet but I'm a bit off my Davide BDC currently - its good but honestly I prefer the single coil ones currently
