JenJen... this is a common and easilly fixed issue with Diamond Batterys... Check this video out by Snowdragon Fixing Vapor4Life Cartomizers & Batteries - YouTube


I think you just need to adjust your post on the battery

My first Diamond died in August... It got wet... poor thing blinked into October... now it is fully dead... Wish I could've revived it

Hmmm, I've been wondering about this too.... if I drop one in the sink or tub or something..... (manual, auto, diamond or regular).... what do you think about popping off the ashcap, and blowing the living crap out of it with compressed air? Maybe flood it with isopropyl first to get the water into a more volatile solution?

I'm reminded of a story from Berkley (IIRC) CompSci dept: seems they had a fire, firefighters blasted dozens of Sun servers off their shelves with high pressure water. The staff later set out all the gear on the lawn in the sun for the day with their cases open. That night they found that over 80% of them powered up just fine.

Ms. Jenjen have you tried the post reset method on them? Have owned 38 king diamond and stealth batts and only had 5 that needed the reset, but after that they've all functioned properly. Either I'm very lucky, or there's something else going on....

Plarkinjr sir would suggest using japanese rice (not the instant) in a ziplock bag if you drop your batt into water. Leave it in the bag for a few days to absorb the moisture. Whatever you do, do not use the batt after you've dropped it in water. You will short it out.

 

[JenJen]

Thanks, I will check out the video. I tried to reposition the posts on them, but maybe not doing it right. I get fed up easily and end up tossing them in a drawer to deal with later. I will give that a try and report back.

 

[Morandir835]

All else fails Ms. Jenjen you can send them to me, and if they're fixable will find a way and send them back. The only kd/stealths I haven't been able to revive are ones killed by juice or overcharging.

 

[JenJen]

Ok - that fixed three of them! YAY! And thanks! One is still iffy even after several adjustments so I will either send it back and ask for a replacement or just toss the thing!

Still hoping they will be coming out with the diamond tip manuals - those should be killer!!!!

PM me with your address and I will put it in the mail to you. It is brand new and if you can fix it, it's yours!

I dropped one of my batts in dishwater recently( it sat for about and hour before hubby found it) and used it a day later..it's working (manual). But last night I cleaned all my batteries by sitting then in a bit of alcohal thread end down..wiping and using a tiny brush on the threads. They were not happy and blinked and stayed on for a long while. I thought I would have to have a mass burial. Today they seem to be happier. yes I blew thru the button and the ashend to help dry them. That's what I get for doing due diligence!

MK, I'm so glad I saw your post this a.m. The Blue XL that I reported dead earlier in this thread died after I cleaned it - same process you use. In fact, I cleaned 8 of them at one time, and the XL Diamond is the only one that died. Maybe I'll give it a few days and try it again. It just stays on now - blue led just a'blinking away.

2 of my old ones are DOA I think. No activity after charging (the green light is on on the charger but no light comes on, on the batt) Oh well. I have new ones on order.

Yes thank goodness for the sale(s) - I've got 5 new ones on order. Not taking any chances ;-)

 

[JenJen]

I've got 8 xl manual diamond tips winging their way to me! Two different orders! Can't wait to get them!

Someone hasn't been watching my Stock Update Sticky thread!!!

Just kidding JenJen.....it is SO good to see you!!!!

 

[Mary Kay]

I take it back..6 of my oldest battery friends died! I am trying to bring them back..but they may end up as tree ornaments...lol The sale came just in time!

 

[K9Luvr]

..but they may end up as tree ornaments...lol

I think I'll use that idea, MK, if you don't mind. Hate to waste a beautiful XL Diamond, even if it is dead ;-)

Sorry to hear 6 or yours died; I hope this is not the beginning of a trend

They were all old and on life support anyway..I have newer batts that cleaned up just fine. It is a testament to V4L that my old ones, between a year and 6 months old lasted as long as they did! They weren't made to do that..but let me tell you V4L has never made junky short lived batts. My old 901's lasted all of a month at best!
