HELP! Brand new eRoll has its LED is stuck on.

[Lorelei]

What do I do now?

I removed it from the PCC when it took extra-long to recharge, disassembled the atty, cone and tank from the batt, tapped batt firmly (both ends) on a hard surface, and even tried drawing from both ends of bare batt (desperation). I think some ejuice got into it, as I could taste it. It's not hot, but I'm afraid I killed my battery before it's even a week old.

I'm sure it's at least partially due to noob error. I contacted the vendor, Wordup, but they are apparently not staffed on Sundays.

ECF, I need your expertise.

Update: It's now going dark, flashing a few times, then going dark again. Maybe it's just stunned, pining for the fjords, but not yet Joined the Choir Invisible. Here's hoping. I'm po'.

Somewhere on the eRoll forum is a battery cleaning tutorial. You might try that.

Thank you, I'll keep poking about.

The LED is now off, and, to see what would happen, I tried recharging it. The blue light on the batt lights up in the PCC then goes back out. When I draw, it either does nothing or blinks rapidly like it's low on charge, but doesn't want to charge back up yet, or tries to burn constantly and the LED sticks on again. Maybe it's slowly drying back out.

Basically, you want to soak just the bottom part in Everclear for a while, then let it dry. I wouldn't advise drawing from the charging end as it may be hard on the switch.

Best of luck!

 

[Lorelei]

Thank you!

It may bounce back, or might not, but I had an excuse to order more parts from RMV and added a spare silver batt to my order. Thank goodness they're cheap, especially with coupon.

It's been soaked as the tutorial suggests and is now resting. Caught the LED powering up again but a sharp tap on a table top got it to stop. My problem child is in time out.

Same thing happened to me...i wash tanks and broke one when separate it to better wash.liquid is kill my first battery...i try to clean(put in izopropil alchohol 1 hour,and leave 3 days to dry)...it doesnt success.few days i use only one eroll...and i bought now 2 new baterry...and new cartridges

 

[Lorelei]

It's dead, but I learned a valuable lesson about overfilling.

 

[jav74]

Me too,never refill tank over 80%

I fill my eroll tanks all the way and have had no problems. I do know that the significant hazard of automatic batteries is that the little switch inside that gets pulled when we draw on the ecig can get stuck. That is what causes it to be suddenly haunted, smoking itself, not responding to us, etc. I've never had it happen with an eroll, and I have about 6 of them. It has happened on an Echo, but didn't last. With the Echo, the light came on every time I tilted it. And my first ecig, the gorgeous Atmos Stratus, succumbed to stuck switch haunting every time. I bought more and they all went pretty quickly. The same with the Vape4Life Titan. The Zeus ($$$$) has lasted.

As for ones that do continue working, my Totally Wicked Titans all still work after several months. The Fuze has been fine, though I think it may be discontinued. And the eroll has been brilliant.

Being an automatic battery enthusiast, I am trying every one I can find. I just ordered my first Halo today, so we'll see how that goes. What else is out there?
