has anyone had any troubles with "Premium" brand?

[firefly804]

hi, i'm a new member on here and tried to get some info about this brand earlier but some one banned me from the forum for asking. so here i am, several hours later, back again.

I've tried using the search function but with a name like Premium the results of the search is just a ton of unrelated info.

i'm brand new to vaporizers. this "premium" i have consists of a battery and cartridge. but the battery part seems to get clogged up after just 2 or 3 cartridges. i've quit using one of the batteries all together since it got so bad and now the 2nd battery is doing it.

is there some way to clean it out? or am i doing something wrong? or is it just a problem with this brand?

please dont ban me with out communicating with me 1st. i'm new on here.

thanks

Never heard of that brand, but from your review it seems like a good thing that I have not encountered them.

Only basic battery cleaning that I know if is cleaning the threads with a bit of rubbing alcohol on a Qtip. (But I confused on how a battery can clog as the batteries I am aware of are batteries and there is nothing to clog.)

his batts are screwing up and Im guessing here, but its probably an auto maybe and the fluid is getting into the battery compartment.
I would suggest a good cleaning with alcohol on the contacts and see if that helps, and maybe drip less, vape more, dunno

well, this has 2 small holes down by the LED. Honestly, my 1st impression of them is that they worked great. but the clogging issue worries me. i do tend to carry it around in my pocket but the holes are real small and i think i'd be able to see junk trying to get in there. i tried blowing on the LED end and it makes it light up, so i'm sure they're there for a reason. the 1st one just got worse and worse to where it was just too much work to take a drag. so it's a slow thing(relatively) so i dont think it's pocket lint. a new cartridge has no effect on the drawing difficulty.

my wife bought it after a friend of a friend recommended it. that and they are in virginia and we're in virginia so shipping is really fast... and free. free shipping on everything.

the cartridges are prefilled. i'm just learning about being able to refill and all that. this is basic off the shelf stuff. yes it's an auto. 2 piece design

Hi my 1st ecig kit was Premium brand. When I got my kit my batteries came clogged....being my 1st ecig i didnt know any better. It seems to me that whatever they put to keep in the center post of the battery was clogging it up. I took a needle and swipped around the center post clearing the gunk out. It helped but batteries ive got from other venders are a better price and work alot better.The batteries are the same as the kr808 and cost about 10 bux at most sites and if you buy from Premium your going to spend 25 bux.

Those holes you're describing near the LED, do you meant little notches in the edge of the LED light cover? If so, those have nothing to do with the function of the e-cig or the battery. That's just the way they're designed (every model of e-cig with a LED seems to have that exact same piece).

If you've got a two-piece style e-cig and you're not refilling the cartridges yourself, then the most likely reasons for a hard draw is a weak battery or used up cartridge. Since you said the battery will activate just from blowing on it, it could be that it's been kicking on when you don't realize it, draining itself.

-mondotoker760- thanks! that's interesting that you had the same experience. we're looking at just starting over with the V4L brand. but being that i can order early one day and have it show up the next... if i get in a bind i might order from them again.

-dumkopf- posting the contact info is what got me banned on my very 1st post. but, it's Premium ecigarette and then there is a ''dot'' and/or a ''com'' they are in Virginia Beach

-telsie- when i said blowing on it, i mean that i put that end in my mouth and blow through it. i dont think the wind or anything would do anything o it.
