Question Batteries

Hi. I have an e mini ciggie which I've been using for one week. I have two batteries which I charge alternately. I have just changed the battery to a fully charged one, as the other was flashing to indicate the battery was flat, and the charged up battery which I screwed in isn't working. I plugged it back into the charger, just to double check and the light is green. I took it out and tried again, but the end of the ciggie is still flashing. Are the batteries only supposed to last for one week before they pack up? Thanks.

If their both dead could it be the charger? Find it odd that 2 batteries go dead at the same time.

Thanks for your replies.
I have two chargers and both are showing green. I'm wondering now if it's because I left the battery in the charger until I needed to replace it, maybe I have burnt both batteries out by doing that? I read somewhere that it was OK to leave the charged battery plugged in until needed.

well this girl thought she might have had the same problem but what she was doing was trying to use a spent cartridge. She would end up taking a really long drag that would cause the battery to flash 10 times (it was yelling at her for taking too long of a drag and not cause the battery was dead). Try replacing the cartridge and see if that helps.

Damn was worth a shot, hope you get it fixed. May she ask what eCig you have and how many times the batteries flash each time?

901 Special Note
1) To avoice frequent usage of the product, once smoke it for 16 times within one minute, the indicator light will continuously flash ten times (about four seconds) for reminding.
2) If every time the user inhales more than five seconds, the light will continuously flash 10 times (about four seconds) tips do not affect normal use
3) If the indicator light will continuously flash for 30 times (about nine seconds), please replace the battery component with a fully charged.

Hi. I have pillboxes e mini starter kit. The light flashes 3 times when I try to inhale, (on what appears to be a 'green' full charge.) I don't know what else I can do. The batteries still aren't charging. Anyone know where I can buy the cheapest replacement mini battery from? I'm running out of cash.

You should have a month's warranty on the parts I think, so you should be able to get replacements free.
