I have exactly the same issue. E-cig bats push out anywhere between 3 to 4 volts depending on their state of charge whereas your battery pack probably makes more like five for most of its charge. The volts are like the flow or pushing power of the battery, so I think this is overheating...

Thanks for the info Tribal. As you say, I think it is a case of keeping plenty of juice in the ats. Great vapour though!:w00t:

Hi Tribal, I was wondering if you have had the same experience as me - I have an excellent usb battery from 'aboutbatteries' - 2400mAh - 5V / 1amp output. It produces excellent vapour from a penstyle, but is so powerful I have to be very careful not to take too long a puff otherwise the...

Thanks for the positive feedback and the sticky votes guys, I'm glad you found the information useful. I know what you mean CandyGirl, but this information negates the whole battery specific / charger specific problem. ALL original e-cig batteries are 3.6-3.7 V Lithium Ion cells which ALL...

What you're saying sounds quite right Asidrave. Besides, anybody who wants to know more or is does not want to take my word for it, which I fully understand, should go the the batteryuniversity website. There is far more information there than I have included in my first post anyway, and the...

Hi everyone, Sorry for the long post but this is the kind of stuff you need to know! I have just stumbled across the definitive guide to Lithium Ion batteries, which details exactly how to look after your e-cig batteries in the best way to preserve good charge and long life. It also dispels a...

Thanks for the tip for the juices Vince. I've got Janty, Johnsons Creek and e-cig UK juices in various flavours. Some are very good, but there even seem to be huge differences between the vapour produced by different flavours of the same brand. I should be getting some TW Virginia in the mail...

Glad the atomizer trick worked for you SambucaLu, I think all pen-styles should work with a bit of tweaking. Well, after blasting the near-dead original atomizer with caustic-soda for four hours and then a serious rinse, I am pretty sure it is now performing 'like new' again. I know this is a...

The thing is, the ats are not broken, they just seem to be slowing down. When you consider what they are made of, the most likely reason for the drop in performance is some kind of build up on the coil, just like when your water heater element gets covered in scale. If it were an electrical...

That's right SambucaLu, you want to try to lift the central pole with the hole in it up and out of the atomizer a mm or so by using the straightened paperclip to lever one side and then the other. You should be able to see the little round rubber joint underneath and, as Yvilla says, you...

With regard to the foil in the atomizer trick, I am not sure it is necessary. I didn't mention in my previous post, but the silver atm with black band from e-cigs uk did not work on the pipe upon arrival. I thought I would have a bit of a play, since I had three atms already working, and I...

I've had the same experience too Ted. Cleaned two of my original atomizers out (water rinse & Coke bath technique) to help change juice flavour and they have not recovered very well. I'm pushing on with them to see of they just need breaking in again. Day 2 now and they are improving but still...

Hi Vince, I think you're right about the non-rechargeables, although I would still be interested in seeing how Des gets on. Maybe I should begin a new thread in the Modders Forum for the mini-pipe passthrough I am working on. As you say, the battery question has been done to death in other...

Hi there all, New member to the forum but I have been a silent reader for a loooong time, way back before Janty had a KB! Just felt I had to finally join up and join in since I got hold of a mini-pipe a week or so ago. After two full size pipes, a 901, kissbox classic & Yentl, two minis and a...
