This might be a silly question but the battery in the USB charger/device that comes with the Kissbox classic, is it removable for a purpose?

I mean, am I supposed to remove the battery and use it anywhere or is it there to hold a charge from the computer and stays in the USB cable all the time?

Cheers for any info,

Nick

Hi Marvelbeast

The battery from what I understand is removable so it can be replaced. They won't last forever.

It also holds the charge from the computer if you walk around with it.
If you remove it, you won't get any power.

The battery will power the KB without being plugged in to the USB, so it will wear and need replacing in time.

It says in the lead all the time, gives some protection to the USB in your computer, not that it really needs it.

Cheers, thats what I thought when I saw it because the circuit doesn't look like it'd be complete without a battery in it.

I misread what the USB charger did before I ordered it. I thought that it was a way of vaping while your battery charged in the device. It's still a bloody good extra though. I spend all day at work in front of a computer and half the night at home too, so it's a pretty nifty device for me and will save me a fortune in "mobile" batteries.

I'm very impressed with my new present (to myself

) Everything about it is fantastic.

I still like my super cigarette and will be more then happy with it as a back up or for using in places where I'd be more conscious of using a e-fag that looks nothing like a fag.

I'm a very happy chappie today!

Hi Nick, I'm glad you've got your Kissbox and you're happy with it.

The battery in the USB cord is very cheap to replace. When the three month warranty on your dedicated batteries runs out you won't have to worry about replacing them as quickly.

I don't bother plugging my USB cord in, I just recharge the battery and swap it over when needed. That way I'm not tied to a computer but the wire can sometimes get in the way.

You can get replacement batteries here - DealExtreme: $4.32 Ultra Fire 10440 3.6V 500mAh 2Pack

This is the charger I use - DealExtreme: $12.58 Ultra Fire 10440 14500 Ac Charger

Happy birthday.

Kate, you're an absolute lifesaver, as always. Had been searching for a place to find the right kind of batteries, and a charger. Thank you!

I'm thinking about getting a Janty Extended Classic Kissbox and i just saw this thread.
@ Pete. Is the usb connection like the one you sold me for my generic penstyle ?
@ Pete and Kate
Also is this a Classic Penstyle which has 2 different types batteries and can i use standard penstyle Carts with it as i don't like the idea of relying on my buying outside the uk. Jason and Simon are 100%.
And overall are the Atomisers better or worse or the same as a Classic 2 hole Penstyle? I really like the look of them but i've now got so many different e-cigs that the next one has got to be much better and i need recomendations.
btw Pete. I have not had to change my atomiser at all since i've been using that usb connector.
