is there something wrong with my battery?

[MIKEOUK]

hi to all, this is my first post but ive been lurking for a few weeks now. I bought my e gig on the 26th of feb and haven't smoked an analog since, im really please. Anyway, i bought a mini e cig from mirage, i got a kit with 2 batteries and i also bought a spare atomiser, everything is fine apart from ,ive noticed in the last day that when using one of the batteries ive got to draw allot harder to produce vapour. At first i thought it could be the atomiser, so tried my spare, that was the same with the battery in question, both atomisers are fine with the other battery. So, the battery works, but it feels like its taking more effort to produce the vapour. Is this a known fault?

I am not entirely familiar with the Mirage line, but, when my 901 batteries are causing me to take a harder draw, I

a) remove them from the atomizer
b) forcefully blow and suck into/out of both ends of the battery (around 4 or 5 times), but making sure to not blow any saliva into the battery, itself. This would be bad.

Sometimes, from what I know, the pressure switches get slightly stuck, therefore they require more force to activate.

This has helped loosen my 901 batteries up a bit.

Hope it helps you.

I clean my batterys with pipe cleaners. You would be surprised at now much juice get in the battery no matter how careful you are, Just don't twist, go straigh in and out.

cheers both,,,i tried both of these techniques and neither worked. I seem to have a temperamental battery. I got it working ok before, then it stopped working again. I rang mirage and they said all their parts are guaranteed for 30days (i think thats what he said) so they are sending a new one ok. Been very impressed with mirage, both for customer service and also the product.

I'm glad they were willing and able to take care of you!
