Dead Battery

[MarciaSS]

I have an auto battery that I received Oct. 20 that's been working great up to now. It started blinking 15 times a couple days ago, just about the time I was expecting it to so I plugged it in and recharged it. When the light turned green, I removed it from the charger and put it in my case. I went to use it this morning and it won't do anything. My husband and I both tried it but the LED doesn't come on at all and there's absolutely no draw. We tried several carts, but it just won't work. Is there a fix for this?

Did you try it on the charger again in case it somehow activated in your case and wore down?
It is still under warranty. Call customer support and they will set you up with a new battery.

My autos did the same. Contact customer service. These autos are fickle!

Thanks for the replies. I did try recharging it again Sallyem, but no go. I was hoping there was a fix we could do, but I'll give CS a call.

Yes, just give CS/Chad a call and we will stand by the product - no sweat.

Thanks

i sent back 4 autos for similar problems. buy a manual and you will protect ur battery much more it doesnt have the same sensor that a auto has to pick up on you sucking in. u just press the button and it does the work for you. the autos i had where very touch and didnt seem to work half as well as any of the 10 manuals that are in my household between me and my girlfriend.

My autos are just starting to finally give up. 11+ months for three, 8+ months for two, 6+ months for three. All seem to be failing electrochemically at about the same time, go figger. Time for some new ones!

I do have a couple manuals, but prefer autos. I just expected them to last longer. I'll give Chad a call, now that Thanksgiving is over and my life isn't so crazy...at least for a few more days. LOL

Just to note - mine are all autos.

Holding out for one year on several of them!

I've been wondering how long they last on average. I've only been vaping a few months and have only lost one - the cheapie 'disposable' I took my first puff from. It lasted about 3 months. I upgraded to VK's, among others and I rotate 5 or 6 of them during the day. It would be nice if the bunch in my pocket lasted a year or even more, doing part time duty like they do.

 

[Adrenalynn]

I alternate three or four, and have pushed three to a year in a few days, and the fourth to 8months.

I just ordered three to replace them and expect them right on my one year anniversary! Woot!

Incidentally - I've updated my signature graphic (might need a cntrl-refresh to see) with the precise cost savings given a year of vaping. Almost $2000/yr for a pack-a-day smoker in California.

Been using the King for about a year now and have had a few bats drop dead on me...I even had one burn up literally (smelled horrible) when I tried to charge it. I have noticed that even those different batteries have slight threading differences and some carts will not fit on some bats. At this point I may have to try to contact CS and send back a handful of bats...some of which lasted me only a few weeks. Has anyone else had these issues? It seems like they have switched manufacturers a few times or gotten subpar batches of bats, I find consistency lacking with the product. I love it when it works but like I said it has been a little hit or miss with me over the last year.
