Battery difference with red vs blue light?

[zohcray]

Hi all, I just got my first order in from vapor4life, and I am loving it. But I do have a question about the batteries.

In my order I got two auto batteries, one lights up blue, the other red. The Blue light one seems to work fine, but the red one seems to take double the inhale sucking strength, which is kind of hard to do. I found out if I cover three of the holes then the inhale strength is about the same as the blue.

So I was wondering if anyone knows if that's normal for a red light one, or if it defective. I have tried it with other carts, they all do that.

Thanks in advance


Should be NO diference, give it a few charges, and see what it does. If it does not work properly, pick another with next order, in comments section.

Enjoy

Steve

Remember, they are hand made, so no 2 willl be exact

I have tried recharging and it is still the same, so a comment I will leave. Thanks much Steve!

I'm still new to vaping and v4l is my second e-cig. The colors of the lights have nothign to do with draw. I have two red lights and they both worked exactly like yours are. One was easy the other required a fast ... draw to activate. I've been told at v4l chat that the newer batteries have more holes to make vaping easier. Check your batteries and see how many holes they have at the connector. oh btw, i cut little circular slices out of the plug at the bottom of the cartomizer and used it to plug up the holes. Many people plug up a hole or two and it works great!

GO HERE for chat it's very helpful General

Both have 4 holes, and so does the usb passthrough I got with it.

There is some variation in the batteries ... cant remember if it was an actual design change or not but as the Korr suggested many people plug one, two, or more holes to suit their preference... some have suggested plumbers putty... or even breaking off a tooth pick in the holes ...I didn't have great luck with that method ...I actually used an epoxy on mine (it was a plumbing epoxy that is used on potable water pipes, but as long as it is non-toxic it probably does not mater) and the stuff i used popped right out when i wanted to change the flow. I have also used rings cut out of the condoms (the rubber carto caps they come with) If you cut them at a slight angle you can slide them over the battery and adjust the flow randomly (don't remember who to credit that idea to either, but another forum member anyway)

You will get some variation in the batteries always, there is likely nothing wrong with your battery as long as it activates ...

Welcome to the V4L family ...hope this helps and good luck

I actually just read that one for the first time myself ... I am leery of using anything with silicone in it though (most gasket sealer/makers have silicone) as I have experience (as an x-auto tech) with this stuff...I was actually getting sick because I was smoking during and after using it and finally read the label one day ...after almost 20 years of using the stuff ...duh ...anyway it tells you right on it not to smoke around it/ with it on your hands ...it produces a toxic gas...there are some sealants that don't use silicone (because it damages modern automotive sensors) This stuff is labeled RTV Sealant ...Would feel a little better with this but prefer a non-toxic epoxy myself ...anything that says it can be used on potable(drinkable) water supply is the safest ... Just some (hopefully helpful) input...Don't want anyone getting sick and thinking it is from their PV

Thanks. Important info. I'm glad you brought it to our attention.

This stuff is labeled RTV Sealant ...

RTV is actually what I use MechTechVpr. LOL I just didn't think many people would have a clue if I put RTV in that post. I'd think one of the various food grade silicones would be fine though too. After the silicone cures, it's like a completely different animal vs. before it cures. If I'm not mistaken most of the nasty stuff is released during curing, hence the problems some people have with smoking, etc when it's on they're hands.

I have seen on here where someone told the color of each battery and there LED color.
would like to know going to order 3 of them and want different LED color. tyia

On that warning label thing for silicone; I think that is for when it is not cured. While in it's mailable state it has fumes, after it is cured it is safe. Just think--it is used for fish tanks, cooking, and for breast implants. Although some people do have reactions to silicone.
I'm just saying...

I'm liking the draw of my XL battery better than the regular sized batteries. The holes are smaller and it makes the draw on the E-cig feel more like a traditional cigarette. At first I didn't like it but now I like it much better then the larger air-flow holes. I hope they don't change the size of the XL battery holes anytime soon!
