My favorite batteries died

[LeAnn]

Ok I don't know if I'm jinxed or what but I love my new passthru, it was an auto and after a few days it died. Then the sent me another one and it has died also and now my only XL auto has died after a few weeks, these were my favorite two batteries and I am about to give up! It seems the sensory that starts the batteries have died. What am I doing wrong? Am I using them too much or too long? Should I go for manuals, when I had manuals before the button would get stuck and wouldn't work. Any suggestons?

Have you been using fresh filled or refilled cartos?

 

[phishtraveler]

is it possible you are overfilling? Autos can fail with juice leaking back into the battery.

 

[LeAnn]

yes to both questions, but I have been doing the same for the reg. batts and haven't had a problem. I use to drip and now i am using the condom and spin method which seems to work better and I just got a new passthru manual today, thanks V4l, and am hoping for better luck!

Wow, bummer. This is the second time I've read about battery problems with V4L. This really makes nervous as I have been planning to purchase the starter kit next week. Is this a known issue that needs to be fixed, or should I place my order confidently?

I have been using V4L for over a year. I have passthru's, auto and manual, old style and new, PCC's and batteries galore! This sounds to me like a fluid leak problem. I only buy manual batteries now for that same reason though some of my old auto's still work and are used from time to time. I lucked out and have never had a button sticking problem. But I think that comes up once in a while with a bad batch.
LeAnn, hang in there, Steve will make it right!
Max, there are no perfect systems out there, but after trying several and some mods...V4L's Vapor Kings comes close. Try a starter set and see for yourself. The warenty makes it worth the money.

Thanks Mary, that says a lot. I'm going with through with my order as planned

 

[LeAnn]

I have been very happy with V4L, they have made good on all bad batteries so far. I haven't tried the mods or any other type yet, but am think I might. It might have been a defective batch of batteries, it's not V4L's fault. I have been vaping all evening on my new passthru and like the manual, it's wonderful not to have to worry about the battery dying. I am a vape addict when I am home in the evenings and enjoy my passthru alot!

So you also prefer the manual LeAnn? I might switch my order to manual then. Can you charge them on the PCC? Yeah, the USB PT will be great. That will most likely be my work horse.

You can charge all the vapor king batteries (manual and auto..all sizes) with a PCC. BUT...you can't shut the lid with the extra longs!
So for a night out charge extra longs at home or fill your PCC with a couple of shorties or regulars. Don't forget to take extra carto's with the condoms with holes in the end for people to try! (you can sterilize the condoms when you get home)

Thanks Mary! I heard the button gets pressed in the PCC but I guess not if I'm careful. Good idea about extra carts/condoms, I'd have never thought of that (along with plenty of business cards of course).
