dead battery?

[SingingWolf]

Good Luck SingingWolf. I am pulling for ya.

Don't think luck is needed, really. V4L takes good care of us.

If they can't tuck it into my current order, I should be ok. Mom doesn't use the XL that came in her kit - too long for her and it's just not comfortable (to her) to use. Even if it's an auto, it should tide me over if needed.

Also, got my PT today - I'm more than covered during my heaviest "smoking" (now vaping!) time...which is when I'm at home in front of my computer. Saving batteries for when I'm out and about and I know my XL will last me all day at work. (although I am a bit concerned on how things will work out when I'm on vacation. Can use PT in the car for the drive down to Ft Lauderdale, but will be "limited" to batteries for most of the time. Gonna snag the XL from Mom and get my shortie and PCC back from the friend I lent it too.)

Thanks for the info, Risky - I did try charging overnight, got to green light status, but the batts were still dead. Greensmoke finally contacted me today to say that they are sending out 4 new batts immediately - maybe they got a bad batch from China...? at least their one year guarantee pays off...

Got an email from Val this morning, saying that she updated my notes from the last order to include replacement battery. Yay!

Good for you. I should be getting my order this week.

 

[SingingWolf]

Ditto here. Hopefully, it will ship tomorrow... *fingers crossed* it gets here before Saturday.

Wow, it takes that long? Did you attend Fletcher?..I did 8-o

No, it doesn't normally take that long. Should be here by Wed/Thursday at the latest...

But I'm also pretty sure they got slammed with orders because of the massive sale, so I'm kinda expecting delays...

And yes, I went to Fletcher - both Jr and Sr high. Class of '91. Sister was in class of '89. And you?

 

[jagsfanrick]

Class of 85. Went to Mayport Middle and elementry.

 

[SingingWolf]

Ah...

Then little chance we ran into each other. So much for finding a vaping high-school buddy. LOL

 

[jagsfanrick]

LOL yeah i went to Mayport Middle the 2nd year it opened. Small world though.

I went out saturday with 3 freshly charged xlongs in my purse,2 wouldnt work when I tried them.1 got me through,but I was upset.I tried again to charge them and it didnt work.I really think its me doing something wrong because this has happened to me before.I got a new charger and I for the life of me have no idea how Im killing these batts.Im glad V4L is so great about replacing things but I just wish I knew what Im doing to these poor things.I am a batt killer.

isn't it bad to get juice down in the battery? I think I read that somewhere.

Before I put the cartomizer on, I make sure there is no juice on the threaded end and no juice will drip down through. I also make sure the battery end is clean.....I haven't had any troubles before now. I don't know what I did to kill this battery. Maybe it was defective?

 

[keyzygirl]

I only use manuals so I think they are sealed and juice cant get in.I also try to keep them real clean around the threads.who knows,Im going to have to order a few more.
