Two months ago I purchased a starter kit of an X6 battery topped off with a Kanger tank and used it to dramatically reduce the number of cigarettes I was smoking in the first few days. After getting my teeth cleaned, I was down to one or two cigarettes a WEEK. I'd realized that to be able to completely quit, I would need a second tank so that could change up on different fluids throughout the day to keep my taste buds from numbing out (Funny, I never thought about the taste when I smoking), so I purchased a Kanger Mini II, since the coils were interchangeable and I had just bought a pile of new coils.
Within a month and a half I had no desire for the 'real' thing anymore and quit buying cigarettes altogether and occasionally smoking one just to confirm that I no longer enjoyed it.
All was going wonderful... until Thanksgiving Day, where a few hours after declaring to all the guests that I'd finally given up a 30 year bad habit when disaster struck. The battery simply failed me and despite all my efforts would simply blink 8-9 times no matter what I did. I tried plugging into the charger, however the green light was just indicting that there was nothing attached or that the battery was fully charged, which I knew it was not. I was able to pull up the center pin (a solution for many online), but this did nothing.
Since I knew I would not make it through the big meal without desiring a vape or a smoke (preferably a vape), I resigned myself and purchased a pack of cigarettes. This morning I was the first one at the store to buy a replacement battery and found that the cheapest solution was to purchase the same starter pack I had originally. The clerk felt bad, so she threw in an extra tank (turns out the be the new Kanger III) and a bottle of juice, which put me back in business.
Since smoking a few cigarettes NOW simply makes me sick to my stomach, I knew that it is probably wise to have a battery backup and begin to do some research online when I stumble across a comment saying that it is possible to open the X6 case (I'd never noticed the hairline separation between the two parts). Figuring that it's worth the attempt to fix this not so old battery, I begin to wrestle around attempting to wrench the two parts apart for 15-20 minutes when I noticed that the battery light is NOW blinking as it should. I connect a tank and it starts up like a charm. I plug it into the charger and the green light changes to red as it should.
Lesson learned? If I want to ensure that I never have to invade my lungs with smoke ever again and end up feeling this queasy
, I have to make sure that I have a backup for EVERYTHING, including tanks, batteries, chargers, juice and coils.
...oh crude! I just realized that the Kanger III uses different coils the other 3 tanks I now own. Oh well... it's STILL cheaper than smoking I guess.
