510 Disposable; emphasis on disposable.

[h8isgr8]

I just received a 510 disposable from litecig. The battery is pretty much DOA due to a bad mechanical switch. It will turn on if I tap on it, but completely unresponsive when I try to vape with it. Very disappointed.

I had previously bought a couple 510 disposable kits from another seller; they were all built using the very reliable "microphone" switch. My first battery from this other seller is still going strong after a couple of months with no problems at all.

So anyway, I won't be buying anymore of these from litecig.

very few automatic batteries can be put in a "reliable" category IMO.

whats your reason for not buying the non disposable ones?

 

[h8isgr8]

The issue isn't disposable vs. non-disposable; the issue is a reliable type of switch (electronic) vs. a completely unreliable type (mechanical).

I'm sure there are other people who would like to know that not all of these are manufactured with the same parts, even though the packaging and product appear visually identical.

Thanks, but I don't need you to try and convince me that it's just my fault for buying a disposable.

Just to be clear on this, it seems there is no guarantee what type of switch you get with these (regardless of seller). I guess the manufacturer just randomly changes between the two.

That's a shame though, I like to give these out as gifts. A wonky mechanical switch can make a bad first impression on a smoker.

have you fully charged the battery??? they dont always come charged. i would put it on the charger for a couple hours.

also before bashing anything you should of atleast contacted me which you didnt. if you dont wanna buy anymore that is fine. Had you of contacted i would of more then likely replaced it for you.

Sorry, I wasn't intentionally trying to bash you. I was just a little disappointed and maybe should have cleared my thoughts a little more before posting.

I understand now it's just the luck of the draw with these disposables and that you have no way of knowing which type of switch they manufacture them with.

I didn't see the point of trying to contact you about it as you clearly state on the site that there is no warranty for disposables.

Again, my apologies. Feel free to delete this thread.
