We call that setup a "ciga-like". Its the lowest form of vaping.

Not to be rude, but those setups are pretty lousy all the way around. If you are serious about trying to quit smoking and vaping instead, get yourself a more powerful and reliable setup.

You're getting the right stuff from @Baditude . Those things usually don't work even when they're working. But I also agree the contacts don't last long and the batteries themselves have smaller life cycles.You've got either a bad charger or a bad battery pack most likely. And it isn't going to make a lot of vapor even when it's working. Welcome to the board.

    When many used them years ago, they would Have to have several batteries and chargers because they died often. And be very careful, those types of setups have caused many fires that have given ecigs a bad name.
    The better ones are the 808's, which still malfunctioned often but didn't cause as many fires.

    If you can, buy a newer setup, you can get some decent things fairly inexpensively and you may be more likely to be successful at vaping, especially if you are wanting to vape MTL at low wattages. I might recommend an Eleaf Pico 25 with the Melo II tank or an aspire zelos mod which comes with a nautilus 2 tank. I think you would find vaping more effective on one of the newer setups.
