These don't appear to wick properly so just glow red hot without the juice atomising.
Kanger tanks aren't a bad alternative as they're a bottom feed and can be rebuilt, although its a fiddly job. I never found them to leak, the only thing you neeed to do is put some tissue down the tip as condensation builds up every so often.

Ladies and Gents advice/ help please,

I have a couple of these http://www.berkshirevapers.co.uk/1300mAh_Winder_Ba... Smok VV battery. Neither of them will charge. The chager works for the smaller 650mAh ego battery I have.

Any ideas?

looking at the link the battery can be locked in use at a guess do you need to unlock it for charging?

Not sure. When I was on ego batteries, the same charger was fine for 650, 900 and 1300mAh batts...

Are you plugging into a 240v adaptor or laptop etc.?

My Sophia atomiser, once dialled in (my juice is so thick it needs 4 turns to wick) has been a revelation.

Unfortunately, as well as being viscous, my liquid has also turned out to be corrosive to the tank material. First time that's happened to me, and the tank wasn't exactly cheap for what it is...

So I'm currently sorting a custom sandblasted Phiniac tank. It's gonna look bloody superb!

Give it a good clean with tissue, the liquid can play havoc with the contacts. Makes for a stronger vape too.

I've just bought a Kanger Aerotank and couple new e-juices to try out. The Aerotank is a lot better than my protank3, much better vape, no gurgling sounds, no annoying leaks and the airflow control valve is a great idea! Cracking but of kit!
Next will be the Aspire Nautilus, had loads of great reviews and meant to be even better than the AT. Just waiting for it to come back on offer then I'm bagging one.

Juice wise I've bought some Red Lady & Squid Ink from Kraken. Very very nice & sweet flavour, LOADS of vape but incredibly pungent! Its stunk the house out so that's one for outside use only!

After a nice custard now so if anyone's got a recommendation please chime in smile
Close to getting this one

The Aspire range work really well.

They do a CE5 shape, but I prefer the mini nova shape.

No brainer then.

However,

It may be the central pin.

Here's an easy fix:

Thanks, I'll give that a try when I get home tonight. If not, I'll be going back to the shop to see what they say.

That solved it, both batteries now charging.

Thank you, as per usual the knowledge on PH conquers all.

This issue has however spured my thoughts of moving to some sort of mod... Any recommendations of something that isn't huge?

I really like my M16 Sentinel clone.

Telecopic, so it can be as small as 18350 size.

They have a floating pin, so that would resolve any more eGo pin issues.

They are $11.54 from Fasttech or a little more for a solid brass one.

Not sure what it's called, but Innokin have released a great little mod with the electrics from a MVP (vv/vw) in a square mod similar in size to your spinner battery...

Is anyone re-wicking with sterile cotton balls? Seems like a good idea instead of faffing with silica wick and wire.
