These shineys seem a tad tempremental??

First impressions are yes, a bit tempramental, it's probably user error to some extent, but mine switched itself off a couple of times today. You then have to remove the end cap to re-set it. They do seem not to work if the battery cap fits tightly. BUT batteries do vary so the longer ones make the problem worse.

In all fairness the only thing for me was i thought the ohm reading was the amps..totally my mistake.. and with the screwdriver batteries in it its great...not had any button issues im well happy with mine

Des, you should be able to screw the cap on tight (and quickly) and shouldnt make any difference, What batteries are you using in it because as you said, batteries do vary and see to be upto 5mm difference either way >

With the power button and number of presses, it works quite like an ego battery where i also end up seeming to press more times than i need to (or it feels it anyway)

I think most of it is down to operator error

First off I'm using a couple of Healthcabin here www.healthcabin.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1082_1124&products_id=8030 which are supposed to be 1200 mAh each (my a*se) fit ok but I don't think are much good, I think one has gone "on the blink" and I've only had them a couple of weeks with light use. It's doing funny things in the charger at the moment

I have ordered some new batteries fom TECC which should hopefully be better quality, but 18350's are not so easy to come by.

The other 18350 battery that I currently have is one I got with my Mini Argento, it is however about 2 - 3mm longer, too long. I do find with this one that if I try to screw the bottom cap on the LT goes off and cannot be switched on until I have removed the end cap then screwing back on again.

Hopefully all these issues should be sorted out when I get the new batteries from TECC.

I love it when it's going OK it's a lovely bit of kit, so much so that I might abandon the idea of getting a Provari.

No, it seems to need a complete disconnection before I can try to put it baack on.

Same here. Tried switching it off in the same way as my old LT. Seems you do have to disconnect the battery.

Hissie on and off is the same 5 clicks although i've had to press a couple more times on occasion if i'm not quick enough on the first one or two

I think the issue with not being able to turn it on with it all screwed in must be the device seeing it as like a short or if you put the battery in the wrong way so it stops the unit from working till the issue is resolved

it is a quick press, i just find it easier to keep hitting the button quickly till it does it, although i sometimes have the similar kind of problem with ego batteries

Thanks alex

I'm looking for some batts that will hold their charge for longer then the pink LT batteries & the blue ones from mojo.

[Cheshire Vapes]

Maybe take your finger off the fire button hehe
