Anyone else have trouble with cignot batteries?

[needtoknow]

I have been using a kr808 for a while and wanted to try a 510 ( I like the hit off of the 510 better) the hit off of the 808 after you refil a couple of times does not seem to be working for me as well as a new carto. Anyway, after I got my no box kit, I charged it up according to the directions and one of the batteries seems to work fine ( stays charged for about 4 hours ) the second one seems to only hold a charge for about a little over an hour with the same amount of use? Has anyone else had this problem? Should I be asking them for a replacement, or am I SOL?

Also I am thinking of getting a mega batt kit (510) does anyone know how long they last as the ad sayes 70% longer than a regular battery, but I don't know how long that should be? I really like the battery life of my XL V4L batteries and the convienece of the cartomizer, but the hit off of the 510 is better and I am sure the hit off of a mega batt 510 would be even better.

Lastly when using the 808 it is really easy to change flavors in mid vape, but with the 510 you are mixing flavors. Any advise there would be great too

The ladies at cignot are great...let them know you have a bad battery and they'll take care of you, I'm sure.

I don't remember how long the mega 510 battery lasts, but it is quite noticeable...well worth the money...though you may also wish to consider the eGo (battery life on it is FABULOUS).

For ease in changing flavors, about the only thing you can when you can't clean them out is to use a different atty. As a guy, you might not like the idea of using fingernail stickers to mark them but you can find some girly ones.

I would let cignot know about the battery. They'll take care of replacement I'm sure. Other than that I have no useful info

I got my 501 from Cignot last Thursday. 1 manual, 1 auto. I just recharged my auto battery on AC charger (it was still lighting up but not drawing well) and now it doesn't light up when I drag on it. It does light up when I stick it in the PCC. Do I have a dud?

I charged it for at least 8 hours in AC charger. The charger light is green.

And the atty that came with the auto battery still has that burny, icky taste. I've soaked it in coke one night, mouthwash another night. I've put drops in it. The other atty seems fine. Could there be something wrong with it?

Id think if you were going for longer battery life the ego might be a better bet - the megas last longer than the normal but still not AGES; the ego last much longer than the regular, like 6 hours compared to say 2 hours. I guess it depends how MUCH extra life you're after - you know your needs best after all lol.
As for your bad batt issue, Id have to say personally no I haven't had that issue but it doesn't matter if not a single person had an issue, you have one (and with batteries its less likely to be user error, not much you can DO with a batt thats 'wrong') and you should let em know about it and see if they can help. Usually with brand new kit thats not working right they are pretty good about trying to help customers out.

I just emailed them at 6:45 CT we shall see where we go from there. And while I was sending the message the "good" battery gave out on me, but I am not sure how long ago I charged it so I will charge it again.
Does any of the ego stuff work with the 510 stuff?

The cool thing is EVERY BIT of the 510 stuff works the eGo The eGo is just a bigger badder battery. I started on 510 and now I've graduated the the eGo.

I just emailed Vicki at cignot and she responded immediately that she will send me a new battery tomorrow. I asked her if I could get a new atty since one of mine still tastes like ... after 4 days, 2 soakings and countless primings.

I forget who sells the ego?

Cignot sells the ego too and it rocks!

The 510 batteries don't last long at all, the fact that you were getting 4 hours out of one is pretty impressive. I got an eGo to go along with my 510 stuff so I could have longer battery life. I still use my 510 too but the batteries don't last more than a few hours each.
