So, I got my order today, some strawberry cartos, a new manual battery, and some ejuice. they also threw in a couple extra juices (green apple and almond joy) I even got a new usb charger that has a cord on it and you screw in the battery. (very nice) I really like the green apple it tastes like a jolly rancher, The strawberry is really good too. I used my manual battery until it wasn't making anymore vapor, but the led on the end never flashed like my autos do. Are manual batteries supposed to flash when they get low on a charge or are they different?

I'd like to thank Steve and the gang for setting me up with all the goodies, It was like he knew what I needed :D

No actually it was a fresh cart,I thought it was odd I wasn't getting any vapor while it lit up like normal. I switched to another battery and got lotsa vapor.

Try charging the battery. I have found that the autos come fully charged, but the manuals maybe not as much as the button could be pressed down during shipping. If you are still having problems, let me know.

I have manuals and they flash when they're low. Did you fully charge the battery before you used it?

Also- off topic: I see your banner isn't showing up. Here's the code you need to paste into your sig to make it work

I didn't charge it when I got it. I started using it at 3 this afternoon and it lasted till about 10. It worked great till then. I got it on the charger now, so when it gets done I'll use it again and see what it does. I'm finding I like the manual batt better than the auto, so I think I'll be ordering some more of those. :cool:

Thanks Mark I'll let ya know.

Yeah Steve and the gang always seem to know what we want before we even know what we want!

No doubt! I didn't even want a Pass-Through. It showed-up in my order - and now I can't get started working in the morning without it. Incredible how they just know :)

Li*'s (and NiMH to some extent) will often have a "surface charge" - they appear charged because when LiPo's die they _die_ (by cut-off design). In actuality the charge isn't full enough to provide maximum current delivery.

So even if a LiPo appears charged, it should at least be fully charged before use, if not conditioned and charged.
