One week ago, I bought the Gamucci Micro Starter Kit from ECigarettesChoice.com. Initially, I was pleased with the product. I have been cigarette free since it arrived.
A few days ago, one of the batteries stopped working. I'm assuming that's what happened, at least. When I screwed it into the cartridge and atomizer and attempted to "smoke" it, is simply didn't respond. After frantically puffing about 5 times, the LED light finally lit up and I got some smoke. This is the only way it would work. The other one was working fine, so I just made sure to always have it charged and used only that one.
Today, right as I was going in for a puff, I noticed my second battery wasn't working. It simply stopped responding. Normally when I plug the batteries in to the charger, the LED light flashes three times and the charger light goes red. Now, the LED light was flashing on both but the charger light remained green.
After lurking around on the forums, I decided to clean the batteries in a vinegar/water mixture and the atomizer in isopropyl alcohol. I figured this might be necessary as I use the e-cig pretty regularly. At 22, I have already smoked for 8 years and am coming off of a 20-30 cigarette a day habit. It's necessary.
After letting one of the batteries dry, I plugged it into the charger. For a while, it did the same thing. After a few minutes, the charger light turned red. Later, however, it would alternate between red and green. After it was red for a bit, I took it out and tried it out. Unfortunately, it didn't really work. The LED light lit up, but I didn't get much smoke and the atomizer stayed "lit up" for almost ten seconds. Obviously, none of this was right.
If anyone has amy suggestions, PLEASE let me know ASAP. I am ready to put a drop of nicotine into a piece of gum!
(I'm aware that I will likely have to buy new parts. So...f someone could point me in the direction of cheap ones, that would be great. I'm not sure what my Gamucci Micro is modeled after...)
