Default fried 2 batteries

Hello everyone
It has been 3 weeks today since I have smoked tobacco. E-cigs have been great except for quality. I have replaced the entire unit once already (one atomizer two batteries) now one of the batteries will not work, it shows it charges and even lights up, but no vapor,WTF. Any suggestions? My supplier has been great, even comming to my work to replace my stuff, but if this continues i may go back to smokes

FZ--does the LED light up when you inhale on it?--Sun

If it's charged and the LED comes on when you puff it doesn't sound like a fried battery. Have you been dripping, have you tried cleaning your atomizer?

Css is right--if the led light is working and it is not the atomizer--then the battery is fried--Sun

from what you said, i gather the other battery heats the atomizer. in that case, it sounds like the battery works, and the atomizer works, so could be a connection issue, try cleaning the threads.

This is the second one that has failed, is this common? I think it went into cleaning mode just before it quit working because it got very hot.

FZ--it can be hit or miss. That is why it is so important to have some backup parts. When they do work--they are great though--Happy Vaping--Sun
