Argh - Broken Charger

[Gimby]

I started vaping at the start of November. Wasn't sure how I would take to it, but got a spare atomiser because of advice on here, and haven't looked back since.

I amm paid next week and planned to get a few more atomisers, spare batteries, and a spare charger... but today my charger has stopped working completely

I have a super-mini and the LEDs on neither batteries light up when screwed into the charger, and the charger light doesn't even flicker, it just stays green.

Both batteries are dead, the analogues are calling me, and I have no quick way of getting a second charger.

Does anyone have any ideas on ways to charge the batteries? Or anything I can try to fix the charger, or is there an easy way I can just power one of the atomisers enough to get me through the next few days?

This is a disaster. I so don't want to put any more crap in my lungs from analogues and take a step backwards, but not smoking anything is simply not an option.

Failing that is there anyone in Birmingham with a spare charger for a super-mini that I could buy, or even just borrow for a few days? Last resort, but I am desperate.

Actually, forget the part about being in Birmingham, does anyone in England have a spare I can buy or borrow tonight? lol.

As well as paying whatever the cost of a charger is I will throw in half a bottle of 18mg TW coffee and a few of the 11mg JC sample pack bottles I am smoking at the moment. Still have 3 or 4 unopened that I can part with. I know it's not much, but its all I have right now.

Just want to know my options.

Too bad you didn't have at least a usb or car charger I feel for ya!

Yay. Panic over. I managed to cut away the seal holding the case with a stanley knife and get the charger open. Found that one of the wires had broken off the screw section the battery goes into. A drop of solder on there and a bit of tape to hold the case together and it is working fine again. Phew, that was a close one.

Now I am ordering another charger and 2 USB chargers. Better safe than sorry.

Glad to know you were able to fix it. I have always been afraid of that happening, so I have backup of backups - LOL

Good idea! Glad it all worked out for you.

I am in a (somewhat) similar situation. I use 2 pen batteries during the day so I always have 2 chargers going with batts on them. Well my brother borrowed one of mine and it has been pure hell! I really hate relying on one battery at a time. When I am home, I have my usb ecig but I'm out a lot so that doesn't help me then. But like others, I am glad I have that to rely on, particularly for times like this.

Ahhh....live and learn!
