Batteries from the 'old days'

[FisherPal]

Hmm ... just wondering if anyone here could tell me if some batteries I bought 2 - 3 yrs ago would still be good? In all truthfullness, they haven't been used much. Still have all the chargers, PCC, etc. and was thinking of giving it to someone but no point if there is no chance it will still work. Just wondering if, when I put them on the charger, when (or I guess I should say 'if' at this point) the light turns green, can I be assured that it means it?

FisherPal (sir or Ms.?) would suggest giving them a run first to make sure they still hold a charge. Any idea how many charging cycles you put them through?

 

[FisherPal]

Thanks for responding. Man that's taxing the old memory ... One of them I know wasn't used too much before I fell of the wagon so to speak. If I can charge them up to a green light, though, you think that they may be workable?

 

[Morandir835]

Might be. If they last for a few hours (depends on the size of the battery) should be at least useable.

Again, thank you. This forum and vendor provided me with much information, support and many good laughs 'back in the day'. Glad to see that things haven't changed here. Am back to vaping again after a couple of years but keeping to this side of the border to avoid all the customs hassles. Best wishes for you in the coming year.

I just recently threw out a few of my original batts from about 2 years ago. Now mind, they were in constant rotation with several others but shoot......I got about 2 years worth out of them until they became too frustrating (wouldn't hold a charge). Some from V4L and some from LiteCig but all were 808's.
Put a fresh carto on one of them and see if they still perform. I had thought I would give my old batts to my daughter, but I didn't want her to get disillusioned with vaping because of old hardware. Now I have put some of my new batts into her rotation and she vapes away.

Fisherpal if those are the old style 3 holed batts...well...I think you will be blown away by the new Diamond Manuals. As well get some Drip Tips....they are not for dripping per se, but they do improve draw and are vastly more comfortable on the lips.

Another note: (sales commercial I swear) Get at least 1 Slim Charger, they charge 20% faster, are cordless (low profile), easy to clean, and only cost a few dollars (like $2.00) more than an old charger.

Promo Code good (forever) any time.. "Smilin" for a 10% discount....or just wait about 5 minutes and they will announce a 30% off sale...either or

Hey FisherPal,

Great to see you. Those batts should be OK as long as they work. As mentioned we are (several) generations beyond those at this point. For those who don't know, FisherPal won our first ever video contest with a priceless video demonstrating how much easier the VK was than her previous e-cig endeavors. We still laugh about that video here
