Help save my maxxfusion battery.

[whitevans1]

I have only had my maxx fusion kit for about a week or so, and one of my batteries is already dead. I think juice possibly got inside the cartomizer was making a bubbly sound and then the battery stopped working. I read with manual batteries you can put the metal tip in alcohol and it can clean it but not auto because the hole :/ any suggestions?

Aw, I'm so sorry, but all you can do is wait for it to dry and hope for the best. Most likely though, it's dead.

For futire reference that gurgling sound indicated you overfilled the carto. Next time you hearbthat take it off the batt immediatly and blow some ofnthe excess liquid out.

I took it off immediately and blew from the metal end a lot of liquid came out. :/ i guess not enough... this sucks

I have seen people help dry out wet cell phones by placing them in a sandwich bag with about a cup of un
cooked rice to help pull,out the moisture... not sure how well that'll work with juice but its worth a try.

couldn't rice get down the hole? If it could then you'd be really stuck... But I'll remember that one, for my phone.

 

[Dragline]

I thought about that too... but if the battery is dead anyway and rice does go down the hole then no worse off than when you started. If it works and no rice got in there then viola. Then again it is a home remedy to a bad situation no real guarantees.

I think I saved a battery once, by using a kleenex. As soon as I realized that I was refilling a cartomizer while it was still on the battery, I took off the cartomizer, quickly grabbed a kleenex and twisted a corner of it into a narrow "cone" or point. While holding the battery upside down (battery opening down) I put the kleenex-point through the battery opening to sop up as much of the liquid as I could. I kept doing this with a dry section of the kleenex until it came out dry. I'll never know if the battery would have died without this intervention, but I'm glad I took preventive action, because the battery is still working just fine.

I feel for you Whitevans - did the same thing with my very first MF battery. I felt like I'd drowned a friend. Still can't bring myself to throw it away.

Just to be safe I now use only fresh cartos on my MF batteries during the day, and then refill them to use on my manual batteries in the evening at the comp or watching the tube.

Just a few tips:
- Never fill a carto with the battery attached.
- If you carry your e-cig assembled in your shirt/whatever pocket, do it battery side up.
- After filling a carto, blow through it a few times from the mouth side and with a tissue on the battery side to absorb any excess juice.

Thanks for all the advice guys.. MFB was a great friend and definatly a power house on the front lines. I remember we where at the local steak house one day just smoking away without a care, and all threw wal-mart too!... It will be missed.

I didn't fill it with the battery on or anything.. I was just being dumb and filled it up in the dark :/ and probably got a few drops in the inner tube and just started vaping right away then got the bubbling sound and turned it upside down on a paper towel and tried it a little later... then dead MFB yes the MF B(different meaning for MFB here slim66 knows it.) died.

So sorry for your loss. May your MF B rest in peace.
