To start, I was sent home from Fort Benning, so no deploying to Iraq for me!

I was initially thrilled with the Janty Kissbox Classic set. My wall adapter for the USB pass through crapped out, but I let that slide since I'm not going to sit next to a wall outlet while I vape. But now my concern is with my batteries and/or charger.

I did plenty of research prior to my purchase on battery life. I understand they are expected to survive anywhere from a few weeks to several months depending on use. I use mine heavily, and one month plus a day after placing my order, one battery only lasts a half hour or so and the other for an hour or more.

My concern with the wall charger for my batteries is a transient slight flicker in the green indicator when no battery is inserted, which turns brighter and solid when a full battery is inserted. Also, when a battery appears to be fully charged, wiggling the battery or rotating it slightly can make the indicator go red and it continues to charge for another 15 minutes or so. As I insert a dead battery, the light bounces from between and green until hand tight.

Did my charger eat dirt and bring the batteries with it? Or did the batteries live an average life and the charger just reacts to the dead batteries?

As I said, I was initially thrilled with the battery life which gave me 3+ hours of steady vaping with no reduction in performance until it ran out. But now they each have a dramatic drop in performance after 1/4 of their current lifespan and I can't even make it through a night at the bar with both.

Sorry for the long winded post, I suppose it's just time for a new set of batteries. $17 a month for two batteries still beats smoking. And, by the way, my atomizer still works like a champ. I flush it with VG when I suspect it's dirty and let it drain overnight. On full batteries, or pass through, still rolls out the clouds. :) I suppose I should get another atomizer, now that I jinxed myself.

I forgot to mention what happened to the USB pass through wall adapter. When I plug it in, it doesn't work unless I wiggle it a bit, then it sizzles on the inside for a seconds and works. I didn't catch the sizzle at first, couldn't figure out where the noise was coming from. Now I don't use it just for safety and the above mentioned reason.
