808D-1 starter kit issue

[FunkMasterSquirrel]

Seems as though my starter kit came with a faulty battery. On the good battery I can pull on the ecig slightly and it begins to vape, however using the same pull force on the other battery I get nothing. Is it bad? Should I return it?

Did it seem to charge okay? Did you try a second carto on it?

does it work if you pull harder ??

I agree - maybe try a new carto. Sometime one does get a bad one. Good luck with this!

Tried fully charging, new carto, carto on other batt pulls fine. Pulling harder does work. But I have to pull really hard.

You could check the air holes below the threading on the battery, see if they have something plugging them. Use a thumbtack to poke into the holes, then gently run the tack point around the interior, between the edge and the center contact, to see if anything comes up.

If this does not do it, and it is significantly harder, I'd contact the vendor to get a new one.

Can I ask where you got yours from?

I would definitely contact the company if nothing else.

okay..here is what I have learned with 808 d batteries. Sometimes the connector is pushed down too far. I use a bent paperclip to take the rubber caps off my cartomizers when I refill them. I assume you have something of that sort as well. What you do, is take your bent paperclip on one hand..take your battery in the other hand, and insert the end of the paperclip into the hole in the tip of the battery. just put it in a few centimerters..then kind lift up the paperclip on the edge of the batter, so it slightly moves up the battery connector. I do it once on one side, then on the other to even it up. Bingo..your battery should work fine. I was ready to throw away 2 batteries till I discovered this.

Are these manuals batteries or auto? I think contact the vendor.

BTW Most people here use and recommend manual batteries.

For whatever reason it seems to be fine now. I don't know. Guess I need more experience hahaha. I'm getting there.

I watched the vid ruts that mistressnomad posted and went with the 808 starter from electronicstix.com. It's an automatic however. *shrugs*

Thanx for the tip! I had a battery that was going on and off while taking a hit. I didn't know I could pull up the middle part. Works like a charm now!
