Smok V-max Battery Woes

[Gary Horder]

purchased a v-max few weeks back from a vendor that had a major sales deal on them, thought the two batts i had would run it ok, but no being flat top they didnt, i then purchased two nipple tops that arrived today and the bloody thing still dint last longer than 2 mins of working, now getting the 123456789 message again, anybody have any experience with these, it was such a cheap purchase, but i am now very reluctant to spend out on even more batteries, especially as the advised ones are so dam expensive .

I just dont see why the batts i have do not work ?

UltraFire 18350 3.7V 1200mAh Rechargeable Li-ion Batteries arrived today, i no .. i no they have fire in the name but im cheap

And the other two that came with an ss vamo from slowtech

Cheap batteries are a false economy I'm afraid.

Efest or AWs or check out Torchy on ebay

We get ours from here, there are loads of goodies if you look about (can be a bit confusing but you get used to it)

efests work out about £8 for 2 postage is about £5 Discount code: damptøren

Just to add to your trouble and worry, someone on ECF has these batteries and they won't charge.

Personally, I thought even cheap(er) ones worked, but maybe not so long or well.

I'll follow the thread and see if it turns out to be the batts or charger.
