First off, I want to say I LOVE MY LUX ..... but..... <sigh>
I am currently just into my 19th day of vaping. When I made this momentous decision, I wanted an e-cig that was stylish with batteries that held a long charge and had a decent lifespan. I've been using my LUX alternating with the regular and dual coil cartomizers. After burning a couple of cartomizers by not having enough liquid in them, I learned that lesson the hard way, and it's no longer an issue.
My issue is disappointment with the batteries that I have received and I really want to LOVE them.
I'll try to make the long story as short and simple as possible. With my first order of the LUX I got the two batteries in black on July 25. They seemed real good - charged up in about 4 hours and lasted for about 8 hours of vaping, which was great! I decided I should order another as well as another means of charging the next week, so that, if needed, I could have two charging at the same time and never be without a working battery....so ordered a silver battery and a car charger along with some different juices.
The silver battery that I got with that second order would not hold a charge at all. The charger would get the blue light after a few hours, I'd put it on my cartomizer, and got nothing but cold air and blinking button. I tried it several times on different chargers, to be sure it wasn't one of the chargers that was the problem. I called MV, discussed it with the customer service rep (who was very nice and helpful) and she arranged sending me another one with a return label for the original silver one. I was satisfied with that solution thinking I just "got a bad one". I got the new one in the mail yesterday. I put that on the charger, and used it for one session this morning and it only lasted 4 hours. It's back on the charger now, and we'll see how it performs after it "blue lights".
In the meantime, one of my original black batteries (remember only 19 days old) is now totally not working at all since yesterday. It has been on both chargers for hours for 3 or 4 sessions, and indicates that it's fully charged by the "blue light". I've attached it a couple different working cartomizers and I might get 2 hits off it and it starts blinking....goes dead.
So hear I sit with one original black battery that seems to be working okay, that I just took off the charger one hour ago. I have no idea how long it will last, but I'm very discouraged that I have one original (black) battery that is not operating at all, one (silver) battery in the box to be returned, and one (silver) battery on the charger that doesn't seem to be performing properly (only 4 hours the first time this morning).
I keep reading posts about how these batteries should stay charged 4 times longer than a smaller one - (10 - 12 hours?) and that they should last for months - (3 - 6?) and I'm dumbfounded.
There's a pack on analogs in the freezer, but I really do not want to resort to them before the day is over. Ugh!
I love vaping, as my newly created signature says and I really NEED to for my health. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong, but need to somehow resolve this battery problem. I also want to say that I've been very impressed with the customer service and quick delivery from Modern Vapor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
