Battery Issues?

[WarrLordd]

Okay not sure if anyone has the same issue but as of lately my battery been giving me the gimp. What i mean is before i use to drip with both of these batterys,both use to get liquid in them while i was dripping at the time, then after i got annoyed of dripping when i had to stop open bottle..ect So therefore i decided to make a Pen Spring Mod. That also was a hassle cause it use to run out quickly. I still use it now and then but my fav now is dipping.

The issue with my battery is i have to suck real hard and sometimes regular and sometimes i don't get nothing at all..

A friend of mines told me to stick a pin in it which i did... I sucked on it hard as i can and tasted liquid (hopefully ecjuice) and not the battery liquid >.< .

But still once in a while i get no respond from battery..
Anyone got any advise?

So thoese who are drippers STOP or else you be in trouble.
Either make a Pen Spring Mod or get a nifty contact lens case.

Blow from the LED end and put a tissue at the other end.

You can also try a pipe cleaner, stick it in the hole straight in and out DONT TWIST IT or you may damage something and kill it.

Cut off the dirty bit and repeat until it comes out clean.

Daft question probably, but do you clean the threads / contacts?

[WarrLordd]

Yes as often as i could. I know how it get dirty and liquid gets in it. Right now the same one am making a issue of is working.. But after i charge it prob tonight .. It might start to act up now and then.

When I get the time I will go on a hunt.

The search facility here is not exactly user friendly
Unless you know who posted or the exact phrase you get twaddle .

Last year someone put up diagrams & pictures of what is inside the battery head, it will be crystal clear when you see it just how fragile the gizmo is that does the job.

If my memory serves me correctly its a little propeller thing and if it is all gunked up and sticks you get problems.

Will be like looking for a needle in a haystack as I have not used one of these type batteries since Nov 2008 and dont remember who posted it or the title of the thread ................
............ anyone else passing who read it and knows where it is Give us a link pretty please

This is not the thread I was thinking of but video courtesy of madog at about 4 minutes in, will give you an idea of how fragile the switch is inside the top of the battery.
