Imagine. 5pcs 78mm batteries purchased in May have stopped working yesterday and today on my Aunt. Any ideas why? They are clean and not used much. No LED action just plain dead.

Wow, it's hard to imagine 5 sudden failures in one day.
Is her charger working? What are the led's on the battery and charger doing when she charges them?
Does the led light up when she inhales?
Has she tried different cartos

 

[Konstantine]

3 of them died the last 4 days and two more batteries are dead from yesteday and today, the last two were one of her employees batteries.
inhaling-no led
charging (3 chargers) - no led
Many cartos tried.


I have a battery with the same symptoms, i'll try to reset the asic today maybe it will start working.
All batteries are clean and they are sure no juice dripped inside the battery.
Funny how they all broke in a matter of days.

I assume that you checked the posts, just to be safe. It is really strange that all five failed in such a short time. I've been rotating through four 78mm for almost two months now and no real problems other than minor variations in how "sharp" the low voltage cutoff may be from battery to battery, and that's probably just tolerance in the asics.

Tried everything you guys can imagine.

 

[awsum140]

Kind of figured you would! That's really weird though. Maybe a bad run and you got "lucky"!

no idea why very strange unless the charger is not working properly... or the outlet?

Everything works as it was supposed too. I'll go tomorrow and check again. I have one bat here but didn't checked it yet. I'll let you know.

Btw almost every electronics engineer or even pretty much everyone dealing with electronics ALWAYS checks the power supply FIRST.
That's not a rule, it's a religion.

Wow! that is strange! I thought one of the first batterys bought in March was about finished (2 months ago) but it's still going - used daily with an alternate unfavorite flavor ...

IMAGINE: just checked and CE3's are still listed as out of stock! Was the stock for the website or the new store???
I'm sort of anxious to try a few new flavors. Also afraid I won't like 'em! The ones I was sure I would like I don't and the ones I was skeptical about are favorites! 4 down and 4 or 5 to go! Thanks!

ETA: Sheesh - another $40 in cart already! LOL! When did I think I had enough little toys to go w/o spending for a month?????

That's a feeling I'm becoming too familiar with, too. Jeesh, it's like being a junky, but it's legal!

Vanilla, Vanilla Custard, Bavarian Cream, etc...are really good to have around, cuz you can mix them with anything to make them more interesting. Even flavors you don't really like at first.

Mmmmmz, i been mixing a little, for my limited selection ... but i was thinking the same thing even if i did not like it i am sure i could mix it ... also vanilla is my fav ice cream.

OK, her's one....There is a small space, about 3mm between the inner silicon seal and the tip on a CE3. Is that space necessary? I do notice "condensation in there, but that could be from outside environmental factors. On the other hand, that condensation could end up in the air tube otherwise. So, just the facts m'am (in my Joe Friday voice)?

honestly i am not sure

The condensation is from vapor that that you don't suck up. If you are using a manual battery, you can avoid it by continuing to vape for a second after letting go of the button.

It doesn't seem to be as much of an issue with going down the air tube to the battery as with the clearomizers. Maybe that's the our pose of the gap, if there is no gap, that vapor that doesnt get vaped would have to go somewhere and it would go straight down the tube

I was thinking the same thing, but I have a "comfort tip" in the CE3 on my X2 and it's buried in there to the inner seal for safety with the heavier battery (no hands vaping). I haven't noticed any more, or less, on the battery post which actually prompted the question. Given that the inner seal is dished down toward the air tube, I'd knd of think the condensation would end up "running" there anyway.

Imagine, I just saw an ad for Michigan VapeXpo which will be held Sept 15-16th in Ann Arbor. Any chance SI would be interesting in being there?

3 batteries are repaired. There was a poorly soldered battery pole (+).
What a classic.

Glad you got the fixed relatively easily! Losing three at once would be hard for most anyone to get through.
