Hi,
I bought a Hendo set from the classifieds, when I opened the case there was a strong smell of corrosion. (The batts smell bad, but the case smell the worst!), I can't get the batts to hold a charge. The light turns green, but even without vaping at all, they go dead again in under an hour.
Also they don't give a warning blink, they just discharge completely, within minutes, if I am able to get a few pull off them. (right off the charger.). Also the ash cap crystal does not light up during the charging process. I had heard that they are suppose to stay lit until the batt is fully charged?
How long to Hendos generally hold a charge, when not in use?
This set was advertised as being "about one month old", and used for only a couple weeks. I noticed through old posts it was actually purchased in Oct... So is three months a long a enough period of use to cause these problems? (Even if they worked well, that smell is really off-putting!).
I know it was used, but I still paid quite a lot for it, and I have contacted the seller, but have not heard back yet. I just got it yesterday, so I was hoping for a little information regarding the normal condition one could expect from a three month old Hendo kit?
With proper care, would these last longer than this? I won't have the money for a new kit for some time, but am considering getting a "new" ss at some point.
Thanks for your help...
