Broke a battery and atomizer :(

[Riggs-]

Last night I was hanging out with some friends, setting on a curb watching Hondas race down main street and proceed to get pulled over for being stupid . All of a sudden I felt something hot in my pocket and I knew exactly what it was as soon as I felt it. Long story short, I burnt up an atomizer, cart, and the manual button on the battery is stuck down. I've tried pulling the button off to see if I could pop the button that actually turns the current on up, but I've I've managed to do is destroy the plastic button. I now only have one battery. Looked over at PS because I thought they had the eGo batteries for 10 bucks a piece, but I think they are sold out of all eGo parts.

So the question is, where can I order another eGo battery? I looked at cignot, but they are $20 there.

Thanks,
Riggs-

That is one cool thing about auto batteries. You can put them in your pocket and not worry about them.

20 bucks for an eGo is not a bad price. And if you giving your money to a Cool company like cignot, seems like a win win.

Damn that sucks huh? Considering that the cost for my battery is $25 i would have no complaints about paying $20

Just looking around GoodProphets and they have a 900mah battery for 24.99. I've read some reviews about their cartos. I think I may pick up a 900mah battery, and some cartos from them. The two 650mah batteries weren't lasting me quite to the end of the day. I can still use the messed up battery, I just have to screw the atomizer in take a drag, and then unscrew it. Might keep it as a backup backup battery.

OK, I will NEVER put my baby in my pocket. I just ordered an ego battery from litecig $18.95.

I tend to go out quite a bit, and have to carry it somehow. I think the trick will probably be to unscrew the atty a bit when putting it in my pocket. I think I may place an order for some cartos, and the 900mah battery later. I just don't what this experence to throw me back to smoking. Been good for three days other than a couple of analogs when my batteries died.

Riggs-

edit: I think I'm one of the very few people that this has happened to. Pretty sure it was just an accident on my part. The pockets in the shorts I had on were pretty deep and shifted sorta under my leg, and I'm pretty sure thats the only reason it happened.

Unscrewing the aty or carto is a very good habit to get in when on the go.

I bought on of these 1000mAh batteries and I can go All day on one charge.

TORNADO E-NIC- MEGA 1000mAh Automatic Batteries.

That and a couple of cartos and I'm good to go all day.

I was afraid of the same senario so I went to the dollar store and picked up a pair of reading glasses in a hard case, chucked the glasses but the hard case fits 2 rivas perfectly, or 1 full setup and a spare atty and a few carts pretty good deal for 3 bucks instead of an expensive mistake!

That's what I thought once, then I went to a bar with loud music and realized my shirt pocket kept lighting up. Now I always unscrew my atty/cart from the battery when I'm not using it.

I was actually just thinking this. I remember when I was younger I had a had case for my glasses. I beat the crap out of that case, and my glasses were always fine. This sounds like a great idea, I think I may be stopping by a dollar store today!

Thanks for the great idea,

They make a number of various cases (faux leather, metal, hard shell cigarette-type cases). Check a number of the vendors' sites.

 

[mom_life_love]

No problem, They had quite a few different cases, I liked the reading glasses case cause it was smaller than a normal glasses case but they also had hard pencil cases as well with all kinds of designs on them, figured it was cheaper than ordering one on-line as I don't need supplies for awhile, went a little crazy on my last few orders lol!

Be wary of those, they are NOT the Janty/JoyE batteries and say so on the site. But they don't say WHO makes them. I could be wrong, but have read too many posts on here about some of the off brand clones (i.e. T-Rex) falling apart on people.

My advice is to look around at Riva batteries as well, same thing as the Ego but made for Eastmall and have a little bit higher mah rating. Riva batts also have a rubberized button that is a little less prone to sticking than the original Ego.

That could be a good thing to meet girls though.

Its the downside to autos, the good thing though is that most have a cut off timer, so even if its switched on by noise or vibration, it wont stay on for longer then 5 -7 seconds (usually).

I really need to find some 900 - 1300mah auto ego batteries, Im not fussed on price I just have never seen any yet.

 

[Vchick]

Sorry Riggs, that sux! I have one of those slim metal reading glass cases, works for now. Someone else on the forum mentioned modding a pen clip and slipped it to theirs to hold it to their shirt neck in a pinch. Keep up the good work!

I've burned myself several times, thankfully I haven't killed any parts that way.

I've lost a battery or two dropping them, though...

wooow that really sucks, sorry to hear man

Are you saying 2 fully charged ego batts don't last you a whole day? Man I vape nonstop and couldn't kill 2 in the same day, and mine are over 2 months old.
