Blu Starter pack broken?

[Pibb]

I've had a Blu starter pack lying around my house for a while now and just recently decided to open it and test it out. Both the batteries worked for a little while before needing recharging, so I charged one in that portable recharger pack overnight. The bottom light was red briefly then turned off but I assumed it was charging, but the battery still didn't work even after like 8 hours of being in the recharger pack. Tried the same thing with the other battery, same result. I have the charging pack plugged in and the blue light is on but both batteries have the red light on for a few seconds, then blink red a few times and turn off. I don't know what this means, am I doing something wrong or did I just get screwed with two bad batteries?

When I first started vaping I used the Blu starter pack and the pack itself was a dud. I called or emailed (can't remember which) the company and they sent me a new starter pack. Perhaps they may do the same for you. Just so you know there is a lot out there these days for vapers other than Blu.

I don't suppose you have a battery tester or a local vape shop that can test them for you? If they are totally discharged, you will likely be better off just buying a new kit. Unless I was reading the wrong advert, you can only recharge those 6 times anyway. And there are much nicer cigalikes. I started with a vplum vPlum - VapeOnly.com and added a toptank mini to it after a couple weeks so i wouldn't have to keep buying the coils. (tank comes with a mini rebuildable atomizer). Or there are many other kits that are even better than the vplum.

If you can get them working, great! Glad of it, but you should also check around to see if there is something you will like better if you do have to replace them.

I can't be bothered to fight anymore.

I would contact blue first and see what they will do. Not everyone likes blue but I know some people that they work for and are totally happy with them. I would not use them personally but if they work to get you of cigs that's fine. If they don't do anything I would look for something better.

I had the same problem years ago when I bought a blue. Called them and they replaced the charger pack.
