INNOKIN ADEPT z-lide charging issue

[Bungy82]

Hi all, this is my first post.
I've just bought an innokin ADEPT z-lide. Affter charging the Red light automatically goes out however I very rarely start with a Green light, usually Amber or still Red - either way it turns Red after a few vapes. Today I'm going to leave it and see how long it lasts on RED!
I've replaced the charging lead and charged with different adapters but result is the same. I've had the device just 3 weeks. Any advice would be appreciated.

Welcome to ECF, Bungy82. 'just bought' means maybe the guarantee/warranty still applies. It sounds like you have a defective device. Either the battery itself or the electronics in the device. My advice, don't charge it or try to fire the device anymore and contact Innokin.

Some mods have removable batteries some don’t. An advantage of the removable ones is they last a bit longer because you can use it past the lifetime of the battery, and if you’ve got a separate charger (which are cheap) you can effectively have a device that charges instantly because you can swap out an empty battery for a newly charged one.

Thank you for your reply. I guess my next step is to contact INNOKIN. I bought the device after my previous mod bit the dust while I was working away from home - it's a 2 hour drive for a replacement!! I wonder if Innokin will replace direct.

Thanks again.

On a side note, I let the battery fully drain yesterday then recharged fully - I'm on Green at last! Let's see how long it lasts.

Batteries get wore out in about 2 years for me. YMMV of course.

I can’t even get stuff at B&M vape shops anymore. It’s all mail order.
