Got my first Buzz Pro! But now I'm sad :(

[Desolation Angel]

I got my Buzz Pro today, and put the batteries that I got with it on the charger - that I also ordered with the Buzz Pro. I waited and waited, glaring at the charger while willing the lights to turn green. Finally, after what seemed like days, the lights turned green. I loaded the batteries into the Buzz, and thought that I'd finally reached vaping nirvana. I was happy as can be - for about an hour. After about an hour I got nothing. The batteries seemed to be dead. An hour? Seriously? What in the world am I doing wrong?

These are the Ultrafire 16340 batteries/Trustfire charger that are sold as an add-on to the Buzz.

Help?

Try charging them one more time. I had a new 16340 go wonky on me once. After I charged it a second time it worked fine. Don't know why it did, but I sure was happy.

Ya give them another charge , also make sure to spin them in the charger to make sure they make contact

 

[Desolation Angel]

Thanks, they are charging again. They've also been spun on the charger. I will see how they do after this charge.

 

[BuzzKill]

OK let us know , what OHMS atty are you using ?

 

[Desolation Angel]

I'm using one of my Boge 2.0s, but kept it turned way down. I'm waiting on my 3.0s to arrive.

OK 2.0 will lower times but not that low !

try metering the batts after charging, and after use for an hour or so just to get an idea.
Of course if they aren't 4.1+ they aren't fully charged to begin with... then see how fast they drain and how much.

 

[Desolation Angel]

On a full overnight charge, batteries spun, green light through all of the spin, etc - I got an hour and a half on my Buzz Pro. I don't yet have a meter to check the voltage when they come off the charger.

Well there is something wrong for sure , might be a bad battery or charger ?? No volt meter huh ? ahhhhhh

Humm we could swap them both out ( batts and charger ) these are the silver Ultra fires right ?

I assume it vapes good for the 1 1/2 hours ??

 

[Desolation Angel]

Yes, those are the silver UltraFires. I've got to work tonight (I work night shift) but I'll pick up a meter tomorrow and see what I can find out.

OK the charger output should be 4.2 volts and so should the batts when they come off of the charger FYI !

I think if I pushed the button down and held it for 1.5hrs. it would not be dead. There are a lot of things that could be wrong. An imbalance causing the protection circuit on the batts to pop comes to mind but that's just one possibility.

That is what I am thinking bad protection PCB in the battery

Waiting to hear the latest.....

Sorry it took so long. My son-in-law came down today and metered both batteries and the charger - 4.2. He said I'm probably tripping some protection circuit and that I should stop trying to vape so much with it - just hit it a couple of times and put it down, and maybe I won't kill it like I have been.

No, it can take nonstop vaping. It was built for non stop vaping.

That's what I was hoping when I bought it, but now I'm at a loss. Both sets of batteries tested good, as did the charger. Suggestions?

I have to say that when it's working, this thing is a monster. I love it.

 

[ukeman]

why don't you try SR or HV at high voltage? it might save on batt use...? sounds like you are using LR; maybe the 2.0 is lower than 2.0.

I can vouch for that. I vape the hell out of mine. I even lowered my nic level so I could vape it more. lol
