801 batteries, and batteries in general

[The Analog Kid]

Alright so I bought 4 801 batteries about a month or so ago, they were working great until now, held about a 5-6 hour charge a piece while vaping like a madman. But now only 1 works when I drag on the ecig. the other 3 don't react at all when I take a drag and I have to tap them on a hard surface to make the led light up and actually get some vapor.

Has anyone had their batteries react in a similar way? I can still vape with all of them, and they all hold their charge well, it's just really annoying that I have to tap the battery on something everytime I want a drag.

Any advice would be appreciated...

Thanks!

Auto switch batteries like the 801, 901, 4081, etc will all eventually get liquid in the battery compartment, gum up the switch and the switch will start to get stuck until it just doesn't work any longer. That is why so many members have switched to manual switch PV's like the 510, Prodigy, Screwdriver, GG, Janty Stick, etc, because the battery compartment is sealed and there is no worry of the liquid messing up the batteries. Not to mention that you can easily get 8 hours out of a charge and the batteries cost $2.
