When I got off work late last night I got a surprise in my mailbox as I opened it up to find my shorty kit. Just got one battery and a PCC but it was awesome. Nice taste, tons of vapor, throat hit was there... until I plugged in my battery to charge in the PCC.
I had the charging case charging in my USB port and thought, "heck, let's go ahead and throw the battery in there and let it be charging up too." Within seconds I smelled it burning and smoke coming out of the LED end of the battery. Needless to say it is cashed. After all of 5 minutes of enjoyment out of it.
My computer is only a couple of years old and has USB 2.0 ports. I also have nothing else running out off USB so I don't believe the problem lies in my computer. The only thing I'm asking myself is if it was the battery or the charger. Either way, though, I am now once again unable to vape.
Hopefully the guys at V4L will be able to send me a replacement. I sent an e-mail to customer service, just waiting until after the holiday for a reply. To be honest after this I'd rather just have a simple wall charger. I think I've been turned off to the PCC's for good.
Has anyone else had a problem like this before, or am I just the lucky one?
