i just got an e cigarette from my gf yesterday as a present for xmas. she bought it from the mall brand new and yet i am having issues!!! it doesn't have a brand but the model is KR-208 at first it was working just fine but then the light on the front started blinking.. i read the book and that means it needs to charge so i put it on the charger.. now in the manual it says that the charger should be red when its charging and green when its fully charged yet mine is green no matter what.. even if nothing is plugged into the charger.. i have 2 actual e cigarettes that came with this set (two of the long white parts not sure of the technical term) and it came with 4 filters... both of the e cigarettes are now doing the same thing.. if i put it on the charger even for hours i get maybe 3 puffs and then it goes back to blinking (it blinks 20 times) any help would be great!

It sounds like the batts are both bad,return it to the mall and let them check it out/replace it.
Good luck!

Actually sounds like a bad charger to me.

You are screwing it into the charger, right?

Amadeus - there was a post I think in tech or batt mods that I read - might help. It has something to do with resetting your batt. Take your batt, put on an atty and puff for about 10 sec. Take the batt, put it in the charger for about 10-20 sec, take out and hook up the atty, puff for about 10 sec, the put back on the charger. Had this happen on 2 901 batts. After doing this a few times, both batts took a charge and everything was good to go. The charger was fine. If this doesn't work, then the charger or batts might be defective.

thank you!!! i thought the device was magnetic!!! once i screwed it in all the way the red light came on indicating a charge thanks so much guys for all the help!!!!!!

Haha! I did the exact same thing

Was reading the beginning part and when you said it's always green first thing i thought was you didn't screw it in. Thanks for the chuckle. Guess everyone makes a mistake once in a while

Oh and it doesn't have to be screwed in tight just until the red light comes on, if it's too tight the inner washer can be pushed down and won't make contact with the atty after.

I'm so glad it wasn't just us! it took us 2 days to figure out that it has to be screwed down, & pretty tight, too... that final little twist is quite snug; we thought we were going to break it or something!

Glad to hear you got it working, I was gonna suggest checking to make sure the center post was making a connection as I had some bat's with this problem. Good luck and happy vaping
