I know there was something posted about this somewhere before. I searched extensively to try and find it, and was not successful. One of the batteries I have for the KR808D-1 has recently (in the past 2 days) gotten extremely tough to draw on. In other words, it used to be a light draw, and I'd get a lot of vapor out of it. Now it is like trying to suck icecream or a frozen milkshake thru a straw. I have to suck to the point where I feel blood vessels in my brain popping to keep the switch on and getting and vapor out. I've tried dozens of carts, and then tried those same carts on my other batteries, and it is certainly this particular battery. What has happened to the battery, what could this be from, and what can be done to both clean it, and rectify this problem? Or is this battery just a lost cause? Thanks in advance!!

Fixed it... for the time being anyway.. I stripped the plastic off of one of those twisties that you'd use to tie a bag or baggie with. Use the wire from the stripped twisty and stuck it into the holes of the batter, and then ran the wire around the inside circle of the battery and blew all the green crud out of it... That seemed to do the trick!

Don't really think it's a good idea to use that battery if it was coroded man...please dont...

Dionili420, I'm pretty sure that it was not corroded. As far as I know, the green "crud" is just the residue and buildup of eliquid that has solidified around the battery and in the holes. Can anyone else please advise on if I'm correct with this? I know someone else had initially posted on proper maintenance of the KR808D-1 battery and they had mentioned to do this, but I can't seem to find the post.

While I am obviously new at all this, the way you're describing it is the liquid has built up around the battery connection and it needs to be cleaned out.
There's a video posted by.... think it was spikey? that went over that a bit.
Pretty simple, just clean it out carefully and don't get any liquids into the battery and it should be ok.

Someone with a bit more "know" please correct if wrong.
