Battery Issue (L88b - Blu-type)

[ACM]

Hey - I have been vaping just over two weeks. No problems until today. One of my batteries started powering on whenever I moved the e-cig. If I pick it up, the LED goes on. If I put it in the PCC, it goes on. If I shake it (slightly), the LED goes on.

Does anyone have any ideas what's going on and how I might fix it?

One thing I noticed with blu is that they are very sensitive..If I am driving it blinks and starts smoking or if you bump it against something it will go off. Mine also blinks randomly in my pcc. Have no idea why or no solution

The L88 batteries are VERY sensitive as they use a microphone to activate it when in use. My recommendation is to grab a few 510/sidesho manual batteries as they are button activated and fit the blu atty perfectly. They are a bit longer but it will alleviate the automatic fire-off of the stock batteries, plus, manual batteries are the way to go anyway especially if you plan on buying your own juice and dripping.

Be warned tho, you CANNOT charge the 510 atteries using the PCC, you will damage the PCC and the batteries and will be SOL. Grab the 510 manual batteries and a charger, or use the sidesho manual batteries which as far as i can tell can be used with the blu pcc. Someone verify por favor? Happy vaping!

I'm a bit confused about the BLu/ 510 battery thing. A 510 battery can be used on a blu atty. correct? J118s are supposed to be compatable too. ( MVs 902 is a J118 and totally compatable withthe sidesho, which is basically a longer blu. I have read mixed things about battery & charger compatability. When I asked if I could charge J118 batteries in the five bat charger that TW sells, I was told no. Could I charge blu batteries in that? Being able to charge five batts at a time would be great.

I am clueless when it comes to electronics. Thanks for any help.

Curious on responses to this, my husband's blu does the same thing. I just read to him about the battery having a microphone activation and he just yelled at his e-cig. Sure nough..the batter lit up lol. I yelled at mine an nothing happened...

Some are more sensitive then others. I have a batt that will turn on just by closing my PCC, and a few that will only go when I start puffing.

Seems I have one that is sensitive like that as well... while the other auto is not.

So 510 accessories are compatible with the JSB models? What about their USB chargers, are those compatible with the L88B and J108 (Sidesho)?

How about the 510 -> cartomizer adapters?

This is a bit late but in case anyone runs into this thread....like I just did searching for something completely different...LOL

Keep in mind that blu batteries are reverse polarity from 510's and most other batteries out there. We like to vape...not smoke...LOL
