Let's start a novel because I'm quite stressed, tired, but too stressed to sleep and I have a variety of points to go over.
When it rains it pours. I'm dealing with a monsoon. My income was suddenly cut off about 2 months ago. I wasn't sure exactly when this storm was going to start but I prepared for the inevitable. I bought 4 14500 back up batteries for my mod and was pretty well set on most of my other back up stuff. I flirted with Murphy's law and absolutely lost. 3 of the 4 batteries seem to be toast before even first use. I SHOULD of tested them first thing out of the mail. I hope the vendor will be understanding but it's been over 30 days so nothing I can do if they are not. Speaking of this situation it would be nice even if it may slow things down to just... put a battery in a charger. Make sure the light turns red before shipping out than having to refund and replace. It would help both ends monetarily. The vendor doesn't lose as much replacing/shipping/neither does the customer vice versa(some sites say you, customer, must pay ship back bad item, understandable) At first I thought it was just ONE bad battery, and I was like.. Ya I'll just have to eat it but TWO more... calamity.
Just now my charger for these priceless 14500 started to make a strange gurgling. Plus, the charger itself is getting insanely hot at times. Chances are I should invest in a better higher quality charger but simply I'm down to my last monetary drops. To kick me further in my vaping gut I'm growing more and more concerned about my VV box mod. Lately, in it's lower right corner it's getting really hot... really fast. I'm not sure if it's because it's summer now or if my box mod is about to short out and kick the bucket. Oh ya... and did my mention for the last month my left eye won't stop twitching? I have a feeling it's all the stress.
Today from beginning to end so far.... Are the stars aligned in such a way to curse me? Did I break a mirror and not realize it? Did I give a gypsy a dirty look? Will my eye ever stop twitching? I was all excited today for a job interview. Woke up early, found my best shirt, face put on(but not too put on) only to arrive to be given a spiel about Kirby. What a downer. Depending where you are from you may not know so much about Kirby Vacuums. Friends and family in my area all agree : It's A Scam. On my way driving home I at least had the opportunity to stop by an employment agency. I am making an effort to get myself together over here. Feeling discouraged I got myself an ice cream cone and just sat at the park, reflecting. I collected whatever beer and water bottles that where in the garbage cans that I could before I left. Yes I'm that tapped out. I went from about 1,000 dollars emergency money saved to getting very close to 100$ until I find work(oil change, 6 month car payment, and town taxes all at once). All I have left needs to go to gas, I feel guilty about buying food, even that ice cream cone.
Anyways once I get home after some gardening and fighting with a seriously tangled hose that took super woman strength to wrestle undone this is when the battery fiasco started. One of my 14500 tops had become to actually come off. The moment I saw this my heart skipped a beat and into the trash it went.
Sorry to rant/vent/ect. I don't want anyone to feel bad for me, pity me. I'm just.... super stressed to the point of overload much it to do with some things I think only the vaping community can really have empathy for. I have to get it out before I pop is all and some advice is welcome on the vaping problems.
Lady Rant--(Oh ya... And the finale to absolutely ruin the day entirely? I find out Steel Magnolias is being re-made. Literately, same movie lines word for word only difference is race. Wouldn't it be more reflective of current society if it included women of ALL races being friends and family?? Just not a happy camper such a classic is being remade. You no touch classics. Steel Magnolias was an amazing film not only because it was great but because of the real life chemistry that existed between the cast. You can't copy that. )--Grr... All kinds of mad there.
If you think there's at all a safe way to save these so far "dead" batteries please let me know any tips.
2 of the batteries the positive (+) end nub is waaaay way too low. They seem charged but I don't think my mod can make the connection. The other one I think is just a flake.
Also based on my little novella, does it seem my box mod is about to die? Do you have a little burial and funeral for your first ever dead mod? jk
On A lighter note.... I hope you got a few chuckles out of all of this.
