liberty flights on ECF

eGo batteries are not really meant for use with low resistance atties.. I have heard of this happening all to often. I would bet the cisco you are using was a 1.5ohm and that over stresses the battery protection circuit and causes this failure. If you are going to use a low resistance on a eGo type battery you should go no lower than 2 ohms resistance as a standard Joye atty is 2.3 ohms the 2 ohm is not far enough out of spec to fry the battery mosfet circuitry.

are you seriously expecting me to believe that the atomizer is what caused the battery button to malfunction, get compressed into the casing, and attack me? You have to have to have to have to have some serious issues if you think this is what caused the switch to fail.

THE BATTERY MALFUNCTIONED. THE OTHER ONE IS MISFIRING. IF THEY ARE BOTH FROM THE SAME KIT, I AM SURE THAT THE GUY AT THE FACTORY THAT MADE THIS OR THE LITTLE ROBOT THAT HELPED HIM ARE BEHIND IT. Not some conspiracy theory that I'm sure will find its way to the NWO and Bush caused 9/11 mess.

 

[cubfanthad]

Wow, I had the same thing happen, I put the atty on another batt and it smoked it too... So in my case it was the atty

It was not a LR atty btw just a reg 510

I know the owner of liberty flights is on this site. can someone please tell me what his username is, i would like to ask him a few questions

Generally, when you have a problem with an order, the best way is to contact the vendor via Customer Service email and try to resolve it at the source, before bringing it to the forum. Opening complaints threads like this one should be you last resort.

Email the vendor and ask for help, give them some time to respond and take it from there.

EGo/Riva/Tornado batteries have button problems, occasionally. They will be replaced if that's the case. Good luck.

Or at least, Private message.

Just got a kit from them last week and couldn't be happier! I'm sure this might be an isolated incident and I'm sure they will be more than happy to resolve it..well don't get discouraged, sucks you gotta wait a little longer, but quitting to smoke those nasty analogs was one of the best decisions I have made in a long time..good luck!

If you ordered from LF maybe contact the company directly through there Contact Link on there website!
No one here is out to get you and people were just trying to make some suggestions as to what may cause a thing like that to happen and what to do if it was to happen again!
By the way bush did not cause 9/11.....everyone knows it was Kato Kaelin LOL

I for one want to know about things like this. I would also really like to know the resistance the the atty

 

[Elendil]

Since the OP now has enough posts, I am moving this the the LF forum since a supplier cannot post at all in the New Members forum.

 

[Katya]

Thank you, Elendil.

We all do. It's just a matter of proper timing and placement of a thread like this. Some of those threads do more harm than good, especially in the New Members' Forum. They tend to snowball and end in a very unproductive mud slinging and/or an exchange of wild speculations and, unfortunately, misinformation. The preferred way is to contact the vendor, let him/her respond to the situation, and THEN post, if the issue is indeed of general interest. That's all I'm saying.

EGo batteries do have a problem with sticky buttons and this is most likely the cause of this mishap. But we don't know. I, for one, can patiently wait for the resolution and subsequent explanation.

With something like a battery not working I can agree. This is a safety issue. In my mind that overrides any other concerns. I see no reason why he can't do both. If he waits till the issue is settled it is far less likely we will ever hear about it.

 

[pkj]

Look forward to Abe & Ty getting these batteries back so they can examine and evaluate them. I'm sure they will give us a report and advise IF there is anything we, the customers, need to be aware of.

WATER BURNER Hope you guys are able to get to the bottom of the problem and get this resolved.

I know this doesn't mean much to you, but I have 6 eGo 900mah's and 6eGo 650mah's. Have not had any problems with them. Sorry to read you had problems with yours.

PS - I used to charge my batteries while I slept. I stopped doing that a couple months ago. Thought it was best to charge them while I'm awake - Just In Case - there was a problem.

I don't think we're disagreeing here, Traver. And in all fairness to OP, he was actually asked to describe his troubles by other members. My remarks were more general than particular. The problem I have with threads like this in New Members' Forum is that the vendor can't respond there, and a lot of new members look at the first few posts--maybe a page or two--and all they remember is that there must be something wrong with a vendor in question. That's all. I agree with you that all issues related to poor quality, safety or other hazards should be reported.

I have had other buttons from ALL manual devices that seem to stick under the case, some are due to manufacturing defects and others I am not so sure. It's a warranty issue though, nothing that a new battery can't fix. There is no point blaming people as that just upsets emotions. To be honest, it is the same for every problem, we can't be in your front room whilst you vape these so we are always trying to fix problems after the event.

OP, sounds like you need to file a warranty claim, this is either done via email or phone. PM isn't great because it is not logged, those who use this forums pm system will inherently get worse service, this isn't by desgin but simply due to the fact I don't check PM's as often as I do my email which is probably over a hundred times a day. Using a forum post in public isn't always great either, if every person started a thread rather than email then there would be at least a hundred threads a day popping up

Back to the original problem, well, back to battery problems, I am interested to hear what everyones take (maybe some urls) of why batteries stick on? If you take away the sticking under the case problem (mechanical) then what else causes them? Can an atty damage the board in such a way that the switch is always on? I do only ask these questions as it helps me answer other peoples questions who come back to me, if there is anyway I can help people without having them resort to analogs then great. It also saves on shipping for us (and a warranty claim!).

 

[illinoismom]

LF is great at warranty on Batteries I had one ego battery stick, one just be dead, one that wouldn't charge. LF has had no a problem replacing them under warranty.

 

[Traver]

I should have added that even though I don't want to do anything that would discourage vapors from posting safety issues that I think Liberty Flights is one of the better venders out there.

LF ( Abe & Ty ) are among the BEST vendors on ECF. Excellent CS and it doesn't end there, they pursue the possibility of CORRECTING the problem to avoid re-occurrence. Kudos ! ! !

Maybe Scott Bee might have some words of wisdom as he seems to have a fantastic understanding of these things! Would be interested in hearing his opinion as well as others!

At this time we sill don't know if it was caused by the button. Lithium cells have done this in just about every device they have been used in.

Is just me or has the original post been deleted?
