Disappointed with order :(

[DawnsDone]

Just got my 2nd order in: pcc with mini red battery, 5 various packs of cartomizers and a drip tip. =)

Unfortunately the battery is defective I think. Hopefully someone can help? Out of the 2 packs of cartos I opened only 2 would screw onto the battery. The other eight just barely screw on and then stop. And, the battery cuts off after 2 seconds and isn't producing more than a slight hint of vapor.

I'm so upset because I got a WOW coffee cartomizer to fit and I can taste it. It taste SOOO good, but with the 2 second cutoff and no vapor I couldn't enjoy it and the cart won't work on my other kr8 batts

I've opened a support ticket but I was wondering if I'm missing something to get the cartos on, or maybe I'm doing something wrong?

The drip tip though I'm using in my usual kr8 and LOVING it! The pcc is lime green and fabulous as well!

SnowDragon has a few videos on the fixing battery and carto (carrot) problems. My Dad had a battery with this problem. All you should need to do is gently sand down the battery threads a bit and the cartos should fit. Another thing you can do is adjust the post on the battery and the carto.

BTW batteries are usually 80-90% charged and ready to go, so I don't think that is the problem. Good luck!

I am new to this but had the same problem with my carts not threading onto my batteries. I don't know how to post links yet but there is a video floating around here on the V4L area on a way to fix this using sandpaper. I tried it and it WORKS.
Also, I think you have to fully charge your new batts before using. Not sure on that though.

 

[Caddyman]

does the sandpaper come with the batteries?

 

[Linden]

No, but its a simple fix. Not too sure how common the problem is.

 

[burnsmary95]

be careful, if you plan to send it back, don't do anything to void the warranty.

One or two turns with sandpaper or a nail file will do the trick. If you don't feel comfortable doing that we can replace the battery for you. Just let me know

 

[genuinefraud]

if you just got the battery, dont forget to charge it up for several hours upon first use.

Sometimes you may need to turn the terminal on the carto with some needlenose plyers to get them to match and work properly on the battery.

Actually our batteries come pre charged so no need to charge for 8 hours

v4l for the win..

Well, i'm not going to sand it down since I need to return it since it cutoffs immediately and doesn't product vapor... I should have ordered two! I guess I'll just have to wait for my coffee..... WHY or WHY did I try it, darn I should have waited...... I def going to go order some of the juice though! Its amazing!

 

[dohsma]

That's no problem Dawn. We will make sure to get a replacement out for you ASAP

The OP is having ZERO luck with vaping lol. You need to run out and grab some lottery tickets. You should have good luck heading your way before to long lol.

OP, the reason it is cutting off is because the fact that the carto and post is not touching, I had that problem with a few XL's and a good buddy of mine, Born, told me to sand them down a little, I did and after a few turns with a fine grain sandpaper it worked for all the carts that did not work. If you want you can try it, I am not saying it will work, or wont, but it is worth a shot. V4L will always try something to make you SMILIN, and I saw Mark took care of it for ya, but I do wish you luck!

Yeah, me too.

I think she is having the same luck as the rest of us. I like that she keeps her expectations high and is vocal when she is disappointed. Too much garbage is being sold to us. Very few vendors even use the stuff they sell. Most vendors carry what we think we want. Very few try out different products and only sell the ones they like and are happy with.

Kudos to Dawn.

 

[dohsma]

Bert, I usually don't get involved with discussions like this, but everyone here at V4L use what we sell. We also know that the products aren't always perfect, we are working proactively to improve everything we sell, but until then we try to provide the best customer service we can to deal with issues

 

[genuinefraud]

Yeah, me too.

I had a cartomizer that did not work on a battery. no vapor.. so I turned the part on the carto that touches the battery a quarter turn, and it fixed my problem.

im new, so excuse me if i didnt make any sense.. i'll refrain from putting in my 2 cents for now..
