Hi, I've lurked here on and off, and recently made my own account. (Being a new account, OBV, I can only ask for help here, annoyingly...) My problem is with my Blu cig PCC- I bought it late june 2010 and recently (as in when i bought my brand new battery, having lost both my old ones), it has decided it doesn't want to charge my battery.

This, of course, only adds to the problem of having just one battery, but thats for another time. I can charge up the PCC and I know it's fully charged, but neither the battery or the PCC light up when i screw the battery in. Right now I'm stuck using the USB charger to charge up my lone battery, which is annoying when I'm out of the house obviously.

Given the age, I'm assuming it is something with the PCC, given it's age and treatment. I've treated it fairly roughly and never really cleaned the contacts (until this morning, no help). I've replaced several batteries (mostly due to the fact that i keep losing them! :facepalm:) and it's charged them in the past no problem. Only recently has it decided not to charge them. Yes they've all been Blu brand batteries, and yes they're firmly screwed in.

I guess what I want to know is: Can I fix this? Given my money situation, I can't afford to replace it. Hell, I'm going lean on whats left of my carts to make them last... Any tips would be helpful

I thought there was a 1 yr warranty? I would contact Blu, they were always excellent about replacing things like this when I used them. Also, the PCC was something like $12.95 free ship, not sure if that went up though...

I can help you w/ extra battery if you send me your info...

Do you have the usb charger? if so, you could get a car charger that can plug into to give you more flexibility of on the go charging?

Oh yeah, I forgot about that ... do you need 5 to send pms or is it 15? I know it's 5 to post other places.

You probably can send or receive PMs yet. I think once you get 5 non-spammed posts or replies in New Members then wait about an hour, then I think you'll be able to send private messages.

Thanks so much for the help and support guys. :toast: I'll go around racking up my post count then, lol. Gotta say, this is the first forum where there were post restrictions for newbies. Oh well! Thanks again, I'll be sure to PM you my ad cleo! And you too, meems, if you don't mind sending that over. ^.^ You two are lifesavers, lol. I've literally got no money in my bank account right now, and i won't be having any funds for new e-cig gear for a while.

As for the 1-year warranty, they want that peice of paper that it came with which.. I unsurprisingly lost.
