My VV dead after 5 months, makes sense?

[GreenLeaf]

GreenLeaf, you have ONE month left! LOL Lasts one day you say? Mine was about 10 hours, somewhere around 6pm I'd need to re-charge. I VAPE at my desk, all day.

I hope not!!

Then I would have to go with an Iridescence VV.

Like Dave says, the VV lasts as long as a 650, maybe a bit longer, depending on what voltage you like. My 1300 last 2 full days.

I can't afford a drawer full of batteries, and as the old adage goes... "two is one and one is none". So 2 has never failed me!

Since you vape at your desk all day, you might consider a Pass through, I'm pretty sure I saw a Halo VV pass through not offered on their site, I'll see if I can dig up the link.

It's okay man, thanks. I prefer to go wireless! LOL

Same here.

Freedom! no constraints! No jimmy hats!

Wait, what?

 

[DaveOno]

Well, partly my fault. I just learned one should NOT drain it to blinking dead before re-charging. That's EXACTLY what I did, everyday, all day, for FIVE MONTHS. OOOPS! LOL

Hi. Sorry about your loss.

But I am going to disagree with 2 points.

First, the circuitry in the battery blinks to charge when it hits the LVC (low voltage cutoff). This is set above any level that would do damage to the battery. I try to charge just before it happens, but there's nothing wrong with going to the LVC.

Second, the 300 charge value means this: After 300 charges, the battery would only have 75% of it's capacity. So if it started as a 900mAh, after 300 cycles, you should expect only 675mAh. But it should still work. The capacity continues to degrade until you get weary of the short discharge times. It'd be like an old car engine. It works, but through wear, loses power. Or it breaks, and doesn't run.

Your battery broke. And died early. I suspect not the battery, but either the circuitry failed, or a simple connection failed.

Now could you do me 2 favors, please? First, click it 5 or 6 times to shut it off, then 5 to turn it back on, then try charging again. Whadaya have to lose?

And if it's still dead, would you mind sending it to me? I'll send you a 7ml sample of something for your troubles. I'd like to "do an autopsy". I'm itching to see what is inside. I'll take pics, lol.

Thanks.

I would be interested in those gory pics as well.

I tore into a broken mini-wall charger. There was more anatomy than I anticipated.

Hey thanks for the suggestions Dave but I already tried the click it 5 times to turn it OFF etc.... No changes were observed. LOL
I'd rather not send such items through the mail internationally, sorry man!

OK, it was worth askin. I wondered about the international thing.
If you do an autopsy, be careful. I was gonna do it outside. And do take pics.

YEah.... your Homeland Department of Security is pretty intense. Oh ...., now I did it!!!! Hello NSA.

I still have poor old 'Manuel' Dave. I'll send it to you if you still want to do your 'autopsy'......ugh. Poor old Manuel all exposed like that....sniff
