I've been loving my M4 mobile kit. So much so that I bought my dad one for his birthday. He was a daily cigar smoker and that kit might just save his life. I also got my brother to drop analogues for an M4 mobile kit.

I've been having some battery issues though. All of the batteries I have are manual. The first one started turning on by itself while sitting on the table. Which was weird, but it still worked when I hit the button. It's just its life would be shortened by turning on all the time. It now doesn't heat the element at all even with the blue light on.

The second battery kinda scared me. I was sitting at my computer and I heard a hissing sound. I looked down and the battery was not lit at the front but it was burning juice. I picked it up and the whole thing was nuclear hot. I couldn't get it to not heat the element so I tried to take the atomizer off but it was too hot. Had to get a rag to get it off. Now, it's basically stuck on the on position and burns all its power regardless if it's connected to an atomizer. It just blinks to let me know it died.

Now my third battery is starting to have similar symptoms as the first. As I'm typing this post I can see it turning itself on for no apparent reason. I thought manual batteries are supposed to be resistant to this sort of thing. Am I doing something wrong that could be causing this? Thank God I've got my pass through or I'd be in trouble. I did get the silver batteries instead of the black. My brother, my dad, and my buddy who introduced me to vaping all have black and aren't having any problems. Any suggestions?

Elvin,

I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with the batteries. I however can not look up your order without your full name though, if you could PM me that info that would be great.

It is odd the issues that you are having, I did at one point have one battery that did what yours did, turn on by itself and it was also manual. Some batteries over time when they are at the end of the lifecycle tend to act weird before they die for good. Being that these are lithium batteries they will only last for so long, same as cellphone batteries or computer batteries. If you are in warranty they can be replaced. Have you contacted Clay yet about this?

As soon as I am able to look up your order we can go from there to see what we can do about getting them replaced for you.

It is fantastic that you have helped so many people in your life get off of regular analogs. That is great and wonderful and I hope that they are enjoying changing to the vaping.

Thank you for contacting me, and we will start on a solution as soon as I have your order info.


Millie
