VTR very fussy over batteries

[Deleted]

Won't take my new panasonics. (one is DOA)

And panasonics getting hot on charger

Won't even take black efests even with magnets as like it just doesn't switch on

Any idea about good cheap batteries for vtr? It'll take 2900mah panasonics from torchy but I can't find them anywhere

Need more batteries

Sony vtc5 seem to get favourable reviews and work in the vtr according to www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/variable-voltage-apv-discussion/560679-innokin-vtr-battery-question.html

I use the ones dalealan linked, work perfect and last ages

I think that's what I had and they work fab....just all other batteries LOL

Will get ordering . Spring (right inside) has a little bit of crud on it...how do I clean that?

Just tried WD40 but it didn't clean the crud (well the black stuff?)

Any ideas?

[dalealan]

Lil bit of fine grain wet and dry sandpaper wrapped around something should get it off or a fine nail file bent to fit.

@johanino try some alcohol to clean it, i use isopropyl alcohol for all cleaning when it comes to contacts.

I have it on good authority that a 3 day simmer in rice should cure all! Isn't that right CaptainChaos ? ....

[CaptainChaos]

Yes indeedy, dagl

That's what I was told on an issue I had that I thought was terminal.

Everything upside down in uncooked rice overnight.

Life was regained & works as new now.

It MUST work for everything, surely!

I have the panasonics and red AW's in mine no bother. I have some sony vtcv4 thingies and they won't fit, they're about 2mm too long. Black AW's are too long as well.

Mine works with red or purple efests button top or flat top. The reds is what came supplied from myepack, they were the ones that were listed to buy on the VTR page when I ordered mine.
You can use some vodka to clean contacts or some brasso/metal cleaner on a cotton bud.

I use Samsung and Efest in mine no probs.....flat tops...work a treat...

[ruffdog]

Salt and lemon juice as a possible for cleaning contacts? I am / was wondering about using my jewellers pickle for coil cleaning BTW?

[ronaldo]

after cleaning contacts put some vaseline on cleaned contacts using a cotton but to prevent crud in the future it stops copper from going green and rotting

Ok.....panasonics are working (ordered from ecolux on ebay ) but cleaning this crud on the spring....Cotton bud only just gets down there and then it doesn't put any pressure on

Recommendations (cheap)

1) alcohol (don't drink so this is not easy)
2) Brasso
3) lemon juice and vinegar
4) electrical contact cleaner (halfords)? - my idea
