Suziq..Who did you get the battery from???If it was me as yet no email..Which site did you buy it from? Ebay or the website???

Oops, yes it was from you. I sent it to the sales email address on the website. Not sure where this batt was from though. It was either ebay or the website, as I have bought from both places (think it could have been ebay though, as I bought a starter kit and another battery is going on the blink, although less suddenly than the first). I do not have a problem with you as a supplier, far from it. In fact, I have plans for later this morning to get more stuff. :thumb:

I thought one of my new battery's was dead as it would not light up even though fully charged. I found the battery to be slightly blocked and a good hard suck without the atomiser got it going. It can't breath like the other batteries but at least it appears to be working.

Ok, have tried this, but hasn't worked for me. Thanks for the suggestion.
Received reply from supplier to say they will be sending a replacement for my dud battery, which is very good. After doing a search on batteries threads on here and from what has already been said since my first comment on this thread, I don't think I would bother them because of a battery failing in the second week. It seems as if they are fairly rubbish and unreliable (batteries, not supplier!) anyway. I just need to stock up more.

In fact, today I visited pillbox38's shop on ebay and bought a few supplies to keep me going for a couple of weeks hopefully.

This battery lark is starting to get to me a bit this evening. I received a replacement battery from pillbox38 (very quickly) for the one that died very soon after receipt, but it was doa. I now have just two out of the three I started with. These remaining two are now starting to fail. FFS!!! Grrr!!!! I can use them, but not for long. I have had one off the charger for ten minutes and already I am eyeing up the one I put on the charger to see when it's ready. The one I am using draws like a right b*tch!
I ordered some of his discounted kits and was really hoping they would arrive today to save me from analogues. I will not be around for the bloody registered postal signing tomorrow, so will have to wait until at least Saturday to collect. I am sooooo frustrated! (as you might be able to tell, lol)

Ok, rant over for now.

I have had two batteries for about 10 days that came with my black mini starter kit and another I bought a week ago. Yesterday morning, I took a battery off the charger that I had had on there overnight, and the thing was as dead as a dodo. This morning...fresh battery, which lasted an hour before it started flashing. Put it on the charger and the light went straight to red. Not that pleased, considering I only have one now that hasn't started mucking about (this one is probably the newest one). I wouldn't mind so much, but I have alternated all three, so it isn't as if they have each been used constantly for the past 10 days as such. This is crap!!!!:mad:

Well, now ALL my batteries for the black mini are DEAD!! Three weeks and the lot have gone. I received a replacement for the first death and that one was doa!
I have heard it said that esmoking is cheaper than analogues and I don't understand how that can be the case really. Starter kits, batteries, atomisers (although these are still going - and saying that has probably put the mockers on them), eliquid, cartridges etc etc it all adds up.
One battery is £9 and postage is another £5 from one supplier. It's a bloody joke. Grrr!

if you bought them 3 weeks ago,then theyre still under warranty,and you are entitled to replacements...contact your supplier and ask for new stuff ASAP...

esmoking isnt cheap...particularly at the beginning...eventually it should plateau....but its a constant shelling out of cash,so get used to it...its really more about saving health than saving money...

and yes...batteries are a pain in the ... for almost everyone...and i agree-costs and shipping charges are ridiculous from most suppliers...they really do take the piss...

Holey moley you do need to keep topping these things up.

They dont run indefinately.

On the original Ops post Fuzzy was very unlucky - serious bad luck for a new user.:(

They bought kits from 2 suppliers.

Parts in 1 kit were faulty and chain reaction killed everything else.

Which supplier did the faulty part come from ????.

So they lost out big time, as they are honest and not going to claim from the wrong person.

If you are just starting using e-cigs stick to 1 supplier , if there is a problem stay with them until it is sorted.

You do get rogue atomisers that will kill everyting they come in contact with.

Its rare but it does happen.
