Disclaimer: I am not here to slam LF. Their customer service and prices have been exceptional. I have talked with TY close to a dozen times and he has always been prompt and courteous and has worked diligently to help solve my issues. I just sent the following email to TY this morning:
ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH................I am absolutely beside myself right now. I'm ready to take this RIVA kit and drive over it with my car several times then take it out to the woods and use it for target practice. Then I want to drive over it again with my car. Then I want to douse it in gasoline and light it on fire.
I get up this morning and put my morning carto in the new replacement battery that I received from you a couple of days ago. Right away I get a flashing switch LED indicating it needs a recharge. That's weird, I just took this off the charger last night and I think I've only got a couple of hours on it. No big, I put it aside and think I'll get it on the charger as soon as I get into the office. So I grab one of the original two batteries that came with the kit and screw my morning carto into it. Of course this is the battery that is possessed. LF in sending me another replacement. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. First couple of hits I get nothing. I'm getting cranky now. Got my morning coffee in front of me, I want a vape and I have to get out the door to get going to work. So I screw around with the battery and carto until it starts working. Put the cone on and it stops working. ARRRGGGGHHHHH! Take the cone off. Still won't work. Screw with the carto and battery for 5 minutes. Got it working. Put the cone on. Stops working. My blood pressure is going up! Take the cone off, muck around, get it working, find if I put the cone half way on it still works. OK, I need to get to work. Halfway to work it stops working. .... with it while driving until I get it working. My day is not shaping up to well. Get to work, put the brand new replacement battery on the charger and the charger light goes instantly green. WTF!!! Take it off, put a carto on it, two puffs and the LED flashes indicating it needs a charge. Take the carto off, clean the threads on the battery and charger, plug the battery in and it goes instantly green. #$$^^%#(*&%$!!!! Dig out the 3rd remaining defective battery that is in my possession that I need to send back to LF because the switch LED stays on while charging and it only lasts for 4 hours and plug that in the charger. Hey, I think, at least I'll have a few hours of vaping when the one battery that is now working but possessed goes dead, right?
All I want is a carto kit with decent battery life that that works. Am I expecting too much? All three 510 batteries in my possession are worthless. I'm heading out of town tomorrow for four days. I'm going to dig out my safecig/RN4081 crap to take with me.
Thanks for listening. I need more coffee. And a PV that works.
