okay but how do you know that?

Hi I just bought this 1300mah battery, it arrived in a plain black box, without even the words "Aspire" written on it, but it does have it printed on the battery itself. The trouble is there are no instructions whatsoever. I recieved a usb charger with it and would appreciate someone telling me about the chraging process. At the moment I attach the usb to my PC and battery the button stays lit and there is a red light on the charger which flashes about once every 3 seconds, is this it charging, or is there a loose connection making it flash?
Thats it lol, all I need to know.

Thanks

PS- if you have the time I would appreciate recommendations of the type of tank you use on it, but only tanks as Im certain thats the one thing about ecigs Im not going to change

With this battery I purchased the Davide and the Aspire BDC Clearomizers. The davide is hopeless and has no flavour coming through, the Aspire BDC is quite pleasant but keeps gurgling a lot and doesnt work on my other battery the Innokin v3 vv, though it does screw in, it just doesnt power it.
The 30s Clearomizers do work on this Aspire and are still my perferred tank, though I had been hoping to find a better, more consistent one, hence buying the Davide and the Aspire BDC.

All recommendations/ comments very much appreciated

Cheers

Hi thanks for all the help im getting, Ive had a few moments where I nearly bought the smokes again. I remember many a time having a bad cold with a sore throat and thinking how little I was smoking, then telling myself I would pack it in, then never did. I think my health scare is a bit like that, Im not aware of the pain too often from the op and when out and about seeing the yellow light appear on the button makes me start to get frustrated with the whole thing, especially when Im getting such a weak draw without resorting to Menthyol flavour with an "extra throat hit".

I do appreciate the advice Im getting, but Im not sure where the 11w is coming from. Ive never said that I smoked at that high a setting. I looked at the chart listed on this site and because my Clearomizers are 2.1ohms I thought it was best to set my Innokin to 9.5w and 4.5v, Ive never put it to max, just because I never do like to set things at their max, if I can avoid it. I did try it at lower settings and often didnt really feel any draw happening and at higher ones I eventually could taste a burnt flavour.

My disappointment with these Innokins is I rarely get more than 3 to 4 hours before the light goes to yellow and Im certain at the yellow level in the battery, the draws become less satisfying, Ive found sometimes blowing down the filter as its starting to crackle causes a slight pop and then I can get a good draw, but I would say its about 1 in four that are like this and so I tend to vape for a good 3 to 4 minutes solid, before I put it down for about 30minutes.
There are times when I vape for longer maybe even a solid half hour and literally put it down when the battery part and the Clearomizer tank are hot/warm.

Ive bought two of these Innokin batteries now from different dealers and both had scratch codes to verify they were genuine, so Im "happy" they are and they are at best about 1 month old, so I think the problem to getting a consistent hit must be something else, maybe to do with the Clearomizer. At the moment I change the dual coil every two weeks and clean the whole thing once a week, by just rinsing under the tap and then drying off over night in the airing cubboard.
These VTR/MTRs are up in the £50 to £70 range, which Im nervous about shelling out as the savings from not smoking havent kicked in yet.
Im hoping I can find a better type of Clearomizer than the 30s that I use. Just not sure what will fit and what wont, people keep referring to a standard 510 size, but Ive read the 30B and 30s are different and the v3 wont fit a 30B, which is a standard 510 size, but Ive also read that the v3 IS a 510 !?! The whole thing has made my head hurt too much lol. So tomorrow morning Im just going to take a punt and get a Kanger ProTank, but i know they dont have the movable filters that the 30s has, which for some reason has really helped me get into the vaping.

Again thanks for all the help. All the best

never ask a woman to do a mans job! lol
Ive just looked again at the "steradent" my mum bought and guess what? Its not actually Steradent, but Morrisons own "Dental Cleaning Tablets"!!!, it does specifically say avoid contact with metal surfaces too, so maybe its to do with the pill sitting on a metal table or something. But yes, sorry mate its not flipping Steradent to begin with lol!

Cheers Spicy, for me its nothing to do with shinyness, it was just to clean everything with to see if it improved the consistancy etc.

Just to clarify what are we all talking about when using the word Vape. Is it the amount of smoke or the amount of inhaling needed to get a draw or something to do with getting a perfect taste?

So at the moment I have purchased an Elegance Ecig which was terrible and put me off vaping altogether. Then I tried again with the innokin vv v3 I nearly gave up again but by chance tried a 30s (tanker?) and its been a real godsend. I mean that sincerely as Ive just had a tumour removed and I know it would all of been too much if I had had to pack in the fags and rely on patches during my hospital stay. So thankyou Innokin and all those who helped on here too

Im curious about trying something else but having read the chart sticky on another thread here Im of the conclusion that variables dont really matter as from following the chart my settings for the 30s 2.1 ohms are best set to 4.4v/9.5w. In that case maybe I should only look for something that gives me a better battery life, the Innokins give me 2 to 3 hours at best.
Ive noticed that there are different Innokins, the VTR and the Coolfire, but Im not understanding what the differences will be. I think I would prefer to stick to these 30s tankers so am I write in thinking the VTR will only really give me a better battery life and the fact it can go higher in watts is irrelevant, if Im using the 30s and following the chart?

Or am I missing the point somewhere, lol ?

Ive also taken to using the dual cartomisers for two weeks and then just replacing them, but Im also sure Ive read some people mention putting them and the rest of tank into Steradent over night to clean them? I googed around and found some people insisting that Steradent was a really bad idea.

Im not certain of what I like about the 30s i think its as much the big container as it is the filter tip can be moved around, whereas the 16s ones were not movable and something about their slimness either didnt feel right or gave of a weaker vape.

Im finding I use the lowest nicotine possible (6mg) and look for menthol flavours with an extra throat hit too.

Not sure if Im making sense here and I do apologise if Im not, but basically these Innokins arent perfect and Im looking for something better. By better I think more than anything Im looking for a consistant "draw" from my ecig as sometimes it feels like I just sucking on fresh air and there is the battery life problems too.

Any help would be much appreciated, thankyou
