BLACK EVOlution VIDEO REVIEW!!!

[SuziQ]

Has anyone had issues with being able to charge the black atom batteries??? I couldn't get the ones that came with the kit to charge properly and so they were replaced. The replacements aren't charging at all. I know the chargers are working, as they (my original evo usb charger and my black evo usb charger) charge the genie batteries with no problems.
The battery led doesn't flash on connection. I have left them for about four hours so far and nothing. I tested one to see if the leds just don't flash and it just flashes to tell me it needs charging. Driving me nuts!

Don't own the black Evo, but I had issues with USB charging my white batteries from an old powered USB1.1 hub. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't. Charging direct from a USB 2 port on my PC works fine, I have both the small and the large batteries. Maybe its something like that.

good thinking Papa Lazarou and thanks for your suggestion, but no, it can't be that. Mine are mains usb chargers. Obviously, there is the option to use a usb port, but I never have bothered.

Heres someone else who is having a similar issue? See posts by "madisavaper" http://www.totallywicked-eliquid.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=76.60

The LEDs don't flash on mine when I plug them in to charge, but they go solid when charged and the charge appears absolutely fine. I am charging via my PC though.

How did the Evo stand the test of time Scott?

hi kate,

my original EVO and the newish black one are both still going strong and still using original battery and atomiser..........though i must admit that i dont use them quite as much now as over the past few weeks ive always had something new to test for review purposes.

im trying to broaden my horizons! lol

cheers,

scott

Thanks Scott.

It's good to keep track of medium and longer term performance with these things I've found. Initially many get promoted as the newest and best thing but they decline in performance after a few weeks.

I'm glad you are getting experience with other devices too. Is there any chance of you doing a comparison video of all the devices you have?

Since getting mine at the end of December I've had one atomiser fail, and the two Genie batteries that came with the starter kit are now starting to hold less charge. Still seem to last better than 901 batteries though. Its had some fairly heavy use TBH, being my primary e-cig apart from when I was waiting for spare atomisers to arrive.
