Cuboid 150w problems!!!

[Werner Beukes]

hey guys,

I bought a 150w cuboid 4 hours ago and could'nt vape since I got home.
The unit shows my batteries are flat, in fact I just took them of the charger. The unit can't charge other batteries, and it did fire ones, and after that I have had to go back to my sigelei 150w.
batteries: esfest 3000 mah, 35 amp, dark purple.

Part of the problem is those batteries really aren't 35A batteries. It's closer to a 20A battery.

You either have bad batteries or a bad charger. Charger, for a guess, if it won't charge anything else. Got a voltmeter handy to test the battery charge? What kind of charger is it? And get some better batteries as soon as you can, even if they are working.

Hi,

Thanks for replying. The charger I'm using is the 4 bat charger from efest.

Weirdly, one of my efests goes flat much faster than the other one. No matter how I charge them.

Welcome to ECF!

Get some Samsung or LG batteries. Efest are notoriously bad.

Will deffinatly upgrade my batteries. A friend of mine sells Hulk batteries. 30 amp continues. Will they do the job?

Never heard of Hulk batteries. Be careful what you put within inches of your face/neck.

Mooch is the resident expert, I would read his articles.

Spend some time reading the link retired1 posted.

Be sure you're installing the batteries in the correct orientation.

I dont understand what you meant by 'the unit can't charge other batteries'.

Stick with quality name brand batteries.
AW, LG, Samsung, Sony.
Only buy from reputable vendors/ dealers to avoid lesser quality cells wrapped with erroneous amp claims.

So the batteries that won't work in the Cuboid will work in the Sig? That sounds like a bad Cuboid to me.
