1 day old 510 automatic not charging

[doctadrea]

Please tell me there's a solution??
It won't hit at all when I put on the cartomizer, but when I plug it in (tried 2 different chargers), it blinks a few times but the charger light stays green. Also, when plugged into the charger, the battery led glows very dimly instead of bright.



Is it a dud? I just got it yesterday... thankfully I have 2, but does this happen alot? Should I expect my other one to die at any moment too?

Can happen.. bad battery. QC now a days doesn't exist on cheap mass produces items.

Contact where you got from and see if you can get replacement.

Great. My first battery (ego) died after about a month. It wasn't easy, but I had some patches and held strong while I waited for these to come in the mail, but knowing that I might randomly be vapeless next week or an hour from now isn't very conducive to staying off the analogs.
I'm on a fixed income and can't just run to the store and replace stuff. Here's hoping the vendor sends me a new one quickly, and that my working one continues to work at least until then. Gah.
Thanks for the reply! Sorry I'm a cranky pants.

Rule #1 - Have a backup, and backups for your backups.

I'm guilt of violating that after getting my MVP2. I leave the house with only it and fly without a net all day. Of course the pass through works, and I am usually near a USB charger cord for most of the day.

It could be a Bad Battery. Or it could be that the Center Pole of the Battery is Not making a good contact with the Charger.

Do you have a Multi-Meter or know someone who does to check the Battery? Is your Battery and Charger Under Warrantee?

... what voltage is your battery putting out?

I used to have a saying...

A vaper without a multi meter is like a Dr without a stethoscope, can't diagnose anything. That was 4 years ago

New saying a vaper without a DMM is like a smoker without a lighter
