well, after changing the battery, blew through the tank and a load of liquid came through.... is it possible i've b*ggered the tank as it still doesn't want to work even with the decent battery?

you know what Roger, i think ( and i apologise profusely if this is the case ), it is the battery... i purchased an ultra fire with the standard 2, which i have been using ( pressing the button 7 times to check charge and it was charged )... the unit shorted out on me with the ultra fire. i reinserted it, turned it on and as soon as i pressed the tape button, unit switched off.. replaced with fully charged regular battery and things seem better... will do some experimenting but maybe got a duff battery... will report back to close the thread if this is the case, but apologise for wasting your time.
the battery said it was charged and i had only just put it in, used the regular charger that came with the unit......

the tank is still full. pretty much as was when i initially filled it. the little hole ( which i assume you mean is the punch ( please bear with me this is totally new to me - and these things aren't cheap ))appears to have an air bubble around it most of the time.
i took the drip tip off and the wadding looked dry like new, so i added more liquid until it started dripping through the bottom...\
net result is no improvement

can you overfill a tank? i just got some 2.5ohm single coil tank carts this morning and have loaded one up with Mom and Pop RY4... literally a couple of ml from the top... is this going to be ok... running it at 4.4 and so far have not noticed difference from the double coil 1.5ohm, but i;m certainly no expert and maybe i'll find a preference over time...any thoughts?
