ego battery problem, aw battery problems, or is it the battery or charger or something else...

[Jamiestevenage]

i have searched many threads but no one has touched upon the problem i seem to have...


something is affecting the performance of my batteries, i thought it could be the ego charger, but a trustfire on 2 aw batteries also seems to have affected those to...


all my batteries take on a charge, and worked perfectly for the first couple of charges, but now, though they take on a full charge and work apparently as usual, they seem to be unable to fully heat a boge element fully, but burn the cart and gives a clogged feel to the cart...

instead of the sizzle im getting a slow burn and burnt juice, it seems the top mouthpiece end is getting cleared of juice quickly, and becoming white, wherupon i add a couple of drops, it sinks in then gurgles, yet the e liquid at the bottom is clogged...and not getting heated, or atomised, im getting brownish blue horrible vapour, instead of usual white plumes...

this isnt a filling issue, all carts work perfectly, then suddenly all behave like they are not getting adequate power throughout the cart, but only part of the cart...

its hard to explain, but if this rings any bells, please pm me...its happened to 12 ego batts, and 2 sets of aws i have in my v6....and now im stuck without anything to vape...

been driving me crazy, i have spent a couple of weeks trying to sort this, someone here must be able to help...


its not e liquid or cart filling problems, its something to do with either the cart or charger ruining the battery to a degree it still works, but not properly...?

could be something totally different but i havent got a clue...#



please please help, im desperate,

i get my Legacy's in the post, expected tomorrow,
but i fear im going to ruin the batteries for those too...


i am using a 1 week old trustfire for my aws, and an ego charger for my egos...


any ideas ??

thanks in advance

You sound very confident that it is the chargers. I hate to disagree with such confidence, however the odds are stacked against you.

The probability of 2 different chargers of 2 different styles, charging 2 different types of batteries, to fail in such a way that all the batteries cause this poor performance is close to the probability of winning the lottery and being struck by lightning in the same day.

The constant in this equation is the cartos. Did you toss the carto after the first time it burnt? Once they are burnt they will always taste burnt. Toss it a grad a new one.

 

[Jamiestevenage]

all subsequent cartos do not work either...


the batteries are not giving out full power even after a full charge, all batteries are fairly new...something has happened to the batts...but what and how ???

im not confident its the chargers, but i know the batteres all seem to go bad on me after a couple of charges...., none of them power a Boge 2.0,they power it, but burn the juice, and clog the cart, by not burning the juice correctly..the current seems very slow...

this isnt a juice issue,


the batteris are knackered, but why ?

i cant work it out...

This is what confuses/worries me the most, are you sure it isn't a juice i tssue, or maybe a carto issue? I had heard off another post that there was a bad batch of the boge cartos. Not sure if it is true or not, but it is certainly worth checking into. You are so sure that it is the batteries, but like another poster said, the constant here is the carto, or the juice in them.

Probably do you have another battery to try it on? maybe used your friends one to try? Doing elimination is the best way to find out the root of the problem.

Well, reading this I don't have enough info to really help.
1) are you using the right charger for the right batteries? Are you using what the manufacter recommends for batteries/charger?
2) what ohms cartos are you using? Are they single coil or dual coil?

i have a trustfire t1 and an ego charger...


i have successfully vaped for months, but recently, i noticed my vapour seems to be burning, and im blowing out thin blue smoke...


i have aw batteries for a legacy, and aw batteries for a gripper and a v6

i have 4 ego twists, 2 click vv egos, and 6 ego batts, plus a passthrough ego...


and they all are not performing,


though,

when i got the v6, all the carts worked well on it, plumes of vapour,


then i charged the vg,

a couple of days later, after perhaps another charge,i connected 6 cartos all which worked the previous day, and they all felt clogged, and slow draw... on fresh aw batts,


same thing happened virtually with egos, they suddenly seemed to be operating at half the power, although fully charged,

this is the same with vg pg or mix,


everything i have is not working,

it has to be something ive done to the batts, or egos,
either i have cooked them, by vaping too much, [though i dont vape much, perhps 2-300 pulls a day]

or something has happened in the charging stage...

maybe not, this is just a presumption, i have little else to go on as its not juice, or carts,

it could be ruined carts, but i try another new one and still no good,

basically the batterys are not working properly, and i cant work out why..


im getting blue thin vapour from every combination...

 

[Jixchel]

Is everything being charged from the same thing? It could be that there was a power surge that did something to the chargers and it is indeed your chargers or the batteries especially if they were on the charger at the time. I've had a surge protector that blew out on me kill a couple chargers (before my ecigs). Get yourself one of the battery testers, see if they are metering out at all. It's the best I can think of, I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

Sounds like you're drying out the cartos... at least in part. They have to be filled properly and given time to wick. Once you burn em, they're toast. Also, some juice work better than others. Have you tried an atomizer?

The electronic symptoms are strange if your assumptions are correct. Not sure that's so. You may wish to dig up a multimeter too.

You could try:

Checking the CONNECTION. Dirty threads/connector post (on the battery side most likely) will cause ...increased resistance. Thus, no matter what carto you use or even if you switch batteries, you'll get a crappy connection and poor performance.

It could be that you have gunked both connectors. Maybe not it, but it's worth a shot and won't hurt anything to clean them.

Get some isopropyl alcohol (91%) and a cotton swab/tissue and clean everything. Good time to clean any of those contacts on your cordless phones in the house too (where they set in the cradle and charge. The contacts get oxidized.)

Don't know if that's it for sure, but like I said it won't hurt. Also, if changing the batteries doesn't work and the cartos are new, and you've cleaned the connections....and it still doesn't work....bad news for the devices.

Good Luck!

attypops,


i think your on the money here..

i have various devices and carts, and have been playing around too much, swapping attys on devices etc...

one min a 2.0 on a v6, then it goes on the ego twist, or puresmoker legacy etc...


it all works, but not well,


and yes, i think i have been cooking the attys a little, then expecting them to work without realizing ive cooked them a little, on other less powerful devices, that work, but produce blueish vapour,


i would regard myself as not exactly a well seasoned vapour, but 3-4 months down tthe line , moderately experienced, yet this caught me out, i will admit.. i firtst thought i was filling wrong, then realizing it had nothing to do with it, cast that notion aside, and thought well, its gotta be the batts, or the device, or the chargers etc...

lesson here,

do not have to many carts on the go,

vigilantly restrict carts within certain volta ranges etc...

im vaping a 2.7 boge on a v6 red setting and its fine,

and it was a close shave, but the vaping continues,

one other thing,

this may sound obvious, but if your not getting good whiteish vapour, and a blue haze is seen in thin vapour when blown out towards a light bulb, do not inhale, its bad vapour / smoke, and basically you have ruined a cart....

this is also what can cause wheeziness im pretty sure, as during this process i felt a little wheezy etc..


a lot of people may think what an idiot the guy has been vaping burnt carts, but if the juice is pretty soaked in, its not immediately clear that if gradually it gets worse, i mean the taste is bitter eventually, but its not like a total burnt hit you get when the cart is dry for example...

pheew, all seems to be sorted now, thanks for input everyone, a fantastic resource and effort is really appreciated, virtual round of applause! [and I will wear a big hat with a 'D' on it all day I promise..

Best Wishes

J

We have all made the mistakes where we need the big hat with the D, no need to wear it at all. Besides stuff like this is a learning opportunity for all of us, and now there are some nice little keywords for others to look up right?
