Batteries

[Sunshine54]

How long should/do batteries last? Today I removed the charged battery from my wall charger and screwed in the ded one and put my cart on it and puffed on it for about 10 15 minutes and the battery started flashing. It had been on the charger for about 6hrs and the light was green signifying a full charge. Now I am sitting here with nothing to vape and faceing the possibility of haveing to go smoke an analog. Which I have not had for 2 days! What went wrong???

you probably hit the 8 second cut off. shorten your puffs. use primer puffs.

What kind of set-up do you have ? Did you follow the instructions the first time you charged the batteries?

When I first started vaping I had 5 batteries just in case!

Hope things work out.

I did'nt really answer your question. I haven't had a battery fail yet. Most of them have 5-6 months on them already.

Between charges: the regular 510s - maybe an hour of med vaping. I went with the mega batteries and they last about 6 hours.

I already have 3 dead batteries after just a few weeks. Some died first week I had them. Just make sure you get extra batteries. Well worth it to stay OFF of analogs and still cheaper than a carton, don't you think?

3 dead already? Wow, guess I've been lucky.

I had a couple of batteries that were fully charged lying on the table, they came on by them selves not just once but several times , gave me the hebe jebes, later i found when i cut them open to use the conn & led to make a homemade mod i noticed that e juice had leaked in & made contact with the swtich so i killed 2 perfictaly good batteries for nothing, though i do not know how i would have dried them out anyway,have not found a way to pull the threaded out of the 510 batt other than cutting it off with the dremmel tool , seems if i try to pull it i wind up with an oval batt conn.

i was getting a couple of hours out of a standard 510 battery and they'd take under 2 hours to charge.

if you get sealed manual batteries you don't have to worry about the liquid destroying them. that's one reason i hate auto batteries.

I've had batt's start flashing like that when I got juice on the threads. Wipe them off on the atty or carto and on the battery with a rag or paper towel so they can make good contact.

Well they are working now so maybe it was the 8 second thing Bert. I am ordering another battery the XL one that is supposed to last 8hrs, then I can alternate my 2 mini batts and the XL one giving them all a rest.
jdh I am vaping with V4L mini batts that last about 4hrs at a time. The battery's came fully charged and when one died I screwed it into the wall charger. until the green light came back on .

Strigoi and cskent thank you for the heads up on the leakage thing. I am ordering liquid for the first time and I dont want to risk killing mu batts!!!
