Some 18650s are a bit longer and that could be the case.
Personally I wouldn't use an Ultrafire even in a flashlight.
Get a proper LG/Samsung/Sony.

Don't use that battery in your mod - it's not safe for vaping! Get something like a Samsung 25R or LG HG2 (there are others, but those are the ones I use most often). A reputable place to buy tested batteries from is: http://liionwholesale.com/

Thanks for the advice, i will buy some New batteries. I Guess those batteries i have are to powerful. Can i however use a regular universal charger for the Samsung batteries and charge them at 4.2V ?

Assuming those are genuine, yes, those are the Samsung 25Rs that I suggested! And it's not that your existing batteries are 'too powerful' it's that they're straight dangerous and known to vent in vaping devices. You can use any good charger that works with 18650 batteries, but again - avoid the trustfire/ultrafire brands. And yes, the batteries charge to 4.2V!

Hope this helps :)

My friend take some time reading this

http://vaping360.com/top-5-18650-batteries-for-vaping/

And order here

Nkon.nl
All genuine battery!

No problem if you go for the 3 big brands of batterys as someone post
before.

And buy a battery case to transport them. Don't put lose battery in the pocket.

Thanks so much boys and girls !! I actually notice it was something wrong with the ultrafire. I had to charge the battery 4 times in an hour. And i coudnt go hogher than 30 watts then it would suddenly stop working sometimes. Thanks so much for being a great community and happy vaping my friends ! Thanks for the website to :) and i will stay away from the ultrafire batteries! I used to use them for a laser, so the batteries kind of explains it :D it really fired my lungs up and seemed to be abit dangerous with all this coughing! :D

Don't use nipple top batteries, use flat tops. Use Samsung, sony or lg unprotected batteries only. Don't buy batteries from any Chinese vendor. Every single thing about your battery is wrong.

Don't buy batteries from ebay, amazon or any third party site. Just go to liionwholesale.com and order Samsung 25r's. Done.

They don't do international shipping so it's not an option for him, well unless he's Canadian.

LIION Still has Great Prices, Fast Shipping and Authentic Products. This is a statement about the company mentioned.
