New to vaping- one week and very happy.
I'm in a country where availability is fairly restricted, so haven't got much gear. What I have WAS working great...but...here's the story:
Bought a 510 starter kit: 2 batteries, 2 atties, bunnch of carts. Juice. Charger.
Loved it. Didn't mean to quit smoking, just use this where smoking isn't allowed.
But suddenly, coming off the analogs was so EASY. THe only problem I had with the 510 was the battery life- I couldn't quite get through a long day and a long night on the two batteries. (And I have a LOT of long nights following long days without charging breaks.)
Went to the shop, and they recommended a PCC- charges one battery while I use the other. (Looked it up online- pretty common case. Sort of crappy construction, sharp edges, holds one batt, couple of carts, and one assembled atty/cart. Not too great, but it works.)
For two days, I couldn't have been happier. Not smoking cigs, vaping whenever I want.
Last night, I went to a local bar, and ran into another guy vaping. It was really nice to chat with someone else on the same journey.
And then- last night, one of my batteries died before I would have expected, but I didn't sweat it- just swapped it out with the other. It seemed to charge okay, and later in the evening, I switched back. IT seemed to have been charged.
Put one battery (I only have two) on the charger last night before bed, the other in the PCC, so both would be charged and ready to go this morning.
When I get up this morning, the battery in the PCC is stone dead. The LED doesn't light. It won't charge, both chargers act like it doesn't exist. It is GONE.
So, two questions- what happened? Did the PCC kill it? Was it just flawed? Did something else happen to it? (Another thought- discussing which equipment was compatible with what, the other guy in the bar and I tried my battery on his (bigger, cooler, bottom feeding juice holding) atty. The threads fit, but my battery wasn't strong enough to run it.) As I see it- three options: Battery flaw. PCC overcharged and killed it. Or I did something dumb.
Second, much more important question- what do I do now??? I have ONE 510 battery, and no way I feel safe to charge it. And more importantly, I have a GIG tonight, which means multiple hours in a smokey bar, with no reliable ecigs...I want to cry...
What would you do?
Best,
Ande
