i only had my e-cig for mabye a month now i charge my batts after each day i use them, but one of the 2 i got seems dead....like i screw it on and take a hit and nothing happens no light no vape, but then i switched the batt on the same atty and **** and it works with my other batt, so that means my batt is dead right?? but how come its dead and wont recharge???? i thought they were rechargeable....... and i use them both alot but that ones dead and the other is fine.....any clue on whats up and what do i do?

chuck it.. send it back.. depends where you got it.. its dead.. which aint exactly uncommon.. they aint exactly the most reliable things on the planet..

ps... last week this battery thing was fully explored and discussed in at least two threads.. it might as well not have been tho.. a week is long time in this place.. memories are short..

if its an auto switch battery, try blowing into the device and then taking a draw. if this works, then you have a sticking switch.

its auto i think , like theres no buttons or nuttin to press............. and how can i send it back after a month?? it worked at first

So I have a question about batteries... Like many people in the U.S., I am stocking up on parts which of course includes batteries. What is the best way to store my plethora of batteries to ensure longevity so that they will still work in a year from now? I use Blu Cigs as my main smokes and they deliver batteries with a half charge... should I drain them completely before storing them or charge them fully then store them... should I put them in the refrigerator? Thanks!

 

[trog100]

store them as they come.. in a cool place.. fully charged ones age quicker than ones with less of a charge..

they do age even if not used ..

Don't throw it away, you can still use the connector for a mod. If you don't want to do a mod, give it to someone that does. I would pay shipping for any 510 dead bats or any 401 dead atty's. I need connectors.

what do u mean do a mod?

Modding is a slang expression that is derived from the verb "modify". Modding refers to the act of modifying a piece of hardware or software or anything

If the LED is not lighting up, it's most likely dead or defective. The only sure way to check it is with a meter to see if there is any output voltage.

You can build a battery box with a connector for your atomizer. NicoWolf has done an excellent job giving instructions on how to build his "NicoStick" The total cost is under $5.00 for the parts. You use an old battery for a connector, and screw your atomizer on it. Mine was under $5.00. My batteries are 2 for $5.50, and are long lasting. I change the battery every other day. Once you have the mod, you only have to worry about atomizers, and the occasional cartridges. It's a great thing to have. check out the link;
