Multiple Battery Failure

[Justin Credible]

Yup, apparently this is the worst week ever as far as batteries are concerned. My battery failed as a result of me dropping it. It was not dropped from very high, but apparently just high enough to kill it. RIP auto batt, you have served me well.

On top of that my buddy and his grandmother both told me about their batteries being on the fritz. His battery (reg manual) is starting to have issues with the button as it seems to be getting harder and harder to initialize. Her battery apparently is just a dud in general as she has only been using it for about a week.

I am not worried about them not being taken care of at all as V4L has the best customer service on the internet today, rather I was just venting. I guess this works out perfectly too because I was really eyeballing the manual XL batt. Now I just have to talk the girlfriend into letting me place an order.

i'm eyeing the manual XL batt too.

yeah, it sucks... that the batteries are relatively fragile, etc. i'm eager to see the VK exclusive batteries i know they're working on. not that i can stop buying batts as it is.

 

[Paranoyed]

At only $15.00 dollars they are a steal I just ordered my fourth manual xl and have an auto xl to go with them.

 

[antithesis]

so are the manual batts really that much better than autos? because maybe my next round of batts i'll get them instead... hmmm!

 

[Belletrist]

h, i like them both for diff reasons... but if you insist on the shorty love i'd try a man. they vape a lil warmer/more vapory in the reg length i think...

I'm a manual fan but I have to admit I'm totally in love with my xl chrome auto. It's a very light pull but it works fantastic.

 

[doots]

I hope they come out with a 5 or 6v unit mod..

I'm not sure if this is exactly what I did or did not want to hear. Let me scurry off to check the budget and I'll get back to you.

Justin,

What part of DFW are you in? I'm about 30 miles NE of Dallas, off I-30.

If we can work it out, I'll let you have a couple of auto batteries.

It'll be a good chance for me to "pay it forward".

 

[Justin Credible]

Sir, I very much so appreciate the offer but I could not accept that. It's great to know that the mindset is still out there (here), but it doesn't change the fact that I wouldn't feel right just taking something from anyone.

I can't tell you how much I truly do appreciate the offer, though.

Oh, and to answer your question - I live on the west side of Ft. Worth. I do have some family in the McKinney area though.

I have dropped my batt a few times from head height im about 5'9" and its fallen out of my ear a few times straight to the ground I usually sit it in my ear to keep it close but ive learned my lesson I now stick it in my hat when im out and about. Easy to see and grab a lanyard would seem like a great idea but im not a lanyard type of guy.

this is my ONLY battery so if it died im SOL I need to purchase a new batt or two to make sure im not vapeless if another drop kills this one. I must have been lucky because mine is still going strong and can go 2 days before having to charge.

It wouldn't be "taking". It would be friend-helping-friend. Remember, I was raised by old Texas country folk. If I say it - I mean it.

The offer stands, my friend.

 

[Justin Credible]

I couldn't hold out, I had to place the order for the XL auto batt. It broke my heart to see that all the 20/30mg 555 in MED/11-18 were sold out, but I figured I'd make do with 2 orders of 5ml in low and 2 orders in high.

Now all I have to do is hide the order from the girlfriend a.k.a. "She who rules my wallet."

 

[Kellyinbr]

I had to order my 555 in high and no nic also to get 18 mg.

 

[Pawpaw]

He he! You guys don't want to know how many 5ml bottles of 555 18mg I've got sitting here.

 

[Kellyinbr]

Hey PawPaw, Quit hogging the 18mg 555

 

[Pawpaw]

Hey PawPaw, Quit hogging the 18mg 555

When I found my "IT" flavor, I stocked up!

 

[Kellyinbr]

I have to go hunt at Hobby Lobby now for some bottles to mix my high and no nic now. Then I will have a stash of 18mg

 

[antithesis]

hehehe, i'm the same. i plan to stock up on smilin menthol when i'm paid this weekend.
