USB batteries

[VP2008]

Okay so I'm a little technologically challenged. I got my new USB batteries and I have to say it was great yesterday vaping while I was working. Sometime around 9 last night I turned off the computer and was reading and watching tv. My laptop sits right by my chair in the den (that's where I work all day long) and at some point I picked up the ecig and took a few puffs. Nothing happened.

So I took it apart, put it back together, tried again. Nothing. I did this several times and finally noticed my better half holding back gales of laughter. Finally he couldn't stand it any longer and started laughing so much he almost fell out of his chair while I continued trying to figure out what was wrong with my ecig.

Finally he managed to stop laughing and take a breath long enough to inform me that the USB port doesn't work when the computer is OFF.

Well technologically challenged may not be the right term. Perhaps technology ..... might be more appropriate!

Luckily I'm only working with a PC. And I may not know much about techie stuff, but I do know this baby's got about 10 USB ports....Mwhahahaha!
