Is my battery dying?

[sze5003]

I'm using a 650mAh auto. I noticed that recently its been activating by itself. How I know is if I tilt it sideways, the light on the end comes on. After I take a drag, there is sizzling still occurring. I think it may have just burned one of my T3's but I cleaned it out.

Should I try the spinners? Will they have equal performance? Really bummed as I don't have an extra around so now I'm thinking of heading to Walgreens to pick up a disposable blu or something to tide me over until I figure out what to order.

About the sizzling it's probably carbon that has accumulated on the coil and wick and keeps heat for longer times even if the power is shut.
Doesn't seem like a dead bat rather than a defective controller.
So when it tilts it activates?

Yeah if you tilt it and it doesn't have a clearo on, it lights up. Also if the clearo is on when you tilt it, you will hear sizzling and the juice and wick getting heated. These are brand new T3's too. I tried to clean any left over juice that might have gotten in.

If you take a drag of it and let go it keeps going and burning. I've had it for a long time now, since they came out so I figured it is going bad.

I went and ordered a spinner and charger plus 2 more t3 clearo heads. For now i picked up a blu disposable and it is apolling..ugh.

how old is the battery? Is it an auto?

It is an auto battery, about 5-6 months old..maybe more. I've had it since you guys came out with them.

oh then it is probably older then that... It may just be the wear and tear on it....it could be an issue of liquid damage or being knocked possibly... unfortunately it is no longer under warranty. But I would not suggest using it if it is firing on its own. I would let it drain of power and dispose of it.

Yeah I'm slowly just using it until my spinner comes in. Just little by little to ease the cravings which aren't so bad anymore. It will be tough tonite as I'll be out with friends grabbing a drink or two.

I keep one of those crappy convenience-store disposables on hand just for this very reason. It provides peace of mind in case I'm left with nothing else to vape. Better than nothing.

I have auto 78's, 3 of them. I used them when I first got them but let them sit for a few months really with no use (pretty sure they were drained at that point too).

All of them died at the same time, one lights up but does nothing and the other do are dead in the water.

I assume there isn't a way to bring those back to life. They are within 6 months so not under warranty but with little use, I am surprised that they all are done. Thoughts?

The one lighting up doing nothing has a cut wire probably on the top. The dead in water.. i have no idea.

 

[drummerskey]

I may buy a new one or two.....I just don't really use them any more. I have 4 X2s and a spinner.

My wife's 78 just died today too. Oddly, the gas station one still works but she left that at home. I have had the gas station one for longer than anything else.

I got my spinner today..its great! What voltage do you guys use with T3's and the nicquids? I'm using 3.3 but 3.7 is very nice and so is 4.3. I just want to be safe with the voltage.
