the paper clip trail is false one.. its to unstick stuck switches.. not help over sensitive ones which seems to be the common problem..

Fuzzy is having BIG problems.

Purchased 3 Kits from ebay 2 different sellers.

1st seller 1 kit
Fuzzy thought battery was dud so returned for a replacement.
They seller sent the same battery back (clever fuzzy marked it

) .
When seller asked why original battery returned,seller said no fault must be charger.
Fuzzy returned charger and it was replaced.

2nd seller
1 kit same problem when ASQ told best to buy more

At this point fuzzy in desperation had already ordered another kit from them , presume they knew and if poss did not want a return.

Fuzzy now has 6 batteries and 4 atomisers.
+ 2 standard chargers and 1 usb charger.

Atomisers are going red hot when screwed in to any battery, battery is also getting hot.

May get to vape for first couple of puffs and atomisers and battery all red hot.

Fuzzy and I are both new to this and totally lost.

HELP PLEASE.

Hey Keef!

Same thing happened to a member here by the name of MommyShamm, and it was actually my own mini that had this happen!

What happened was, 1 atomizer, destroyed 3 batteries, plain and simple (all within minutes). We're not 100% sure why this happened, but we are guessing, that the 1 faulty atomizer shorted/fried something on the battery end to either shut the switch down completely or keep it stuck on.

2 batteries were working perfect before they touched the atomizer. Once they did, they were done.

So, I'm guessing, 1 of the atomizers is to blame for the issue. Once 1 started, the rest were a simple chain reaction because you want to test with other batteries. The chances of you having 6 batteries and 4 atomizers that are junk are VERY VERY HIGHLY UNLIKELY (although anything is possible)

So, my guess is there is no hope for the current batch you have. I would suggest contacting both sellers, discuss the situation with them, and see if you can get replacement for the batteries AND atomizers.

... and be careful about buying from ebay sellers, cheaper doesn't always mean better value.

Keef · 11-11-2008, 11:22 PM

Hi Cash BIG THANK YOU.

Poor Fuzzy first 3 purchases of e-cigs and is getting a bit put off to say the least.

Not sure when they will log in again (we are on an ebay group in the UK ) as fuzzy working shifts.

But will leave a note on thread to direct them to your answer.

Talk about bad luck, for a newbie very off putting.

CaSHMeRe · 11-11-2008, 11:24 PM

Hey Keef!

Yeah, what a bummer, especially if you have zero replacements. I like kate would suggest finding a good reputable seller on here. There are many reputable suppliers in the UK, and if this happened to some of their own products, would replace with zero questions!

Good luck Keef (and Fuzzy)

Kate
I went to simon e-cigs exactly for that reason.

He did not lie about carts v cigs smoked a day.

30 day warentee.

Had very good feedback here .

Nice website easy on the eye and easy to navigate.

OK 1 st kit I purchased £30 and second £35 while I could have got cheaper on ebay I did not feel confident with any of the sellers I looked at.

Or to be honest any of the other websites.

Not long since I started this e-cig thing, he replies to mails quickly and has super quick service with free shipping.

Also pays for return of faulty bits, in huge envelopes which must be costing him a fortune..

I prefer quality and good service to bargains , and with simon I seem to be getting it

Also I love his Roast Smoke sooner it is back in stock the better

Kate · 11-11-2008, 11:44 PM

You can't go wrong with Smokester/Simon/ecigs.co.uk. I was lucky to buy my first ecig from him and he looked after me very well.

It's only a bargain if it's cheap AND it works.
