Original Shorty Fix not working for me

[Newff]

So I have like 5 of the original shorty batteries...I followed the video to fix them but it's not working. I stick a safety pin into the airholes on a downward angle and going under the silicone and then pry it up. I get some vapor going but it's on and off as if it's a lose connection. The LED will go on and off...not blinking like when the battery is dying but as if it's barely getting a connection.

It's very frustrating has anyone else had this problem?

How long have you had them, and was the fix working for you before?

I had a couple of the original shorties, but they were both toast on arrival. The new ones arrived shortly after that, and I had them replaced. I had tried that fix method to no avail myself.

The new shorties have worked without an issue.

I'd let Val know about it, personally.

Let me know if you are in a pinch, be glad to send ya one while you get the issue sorted out.

I've had like 2-3 blue ones since they first came out, and like 2 black ones a month ago i think. The fix worked for like 1 day I think first when I got them..then I kept having this problem and gave up on them because they were not rreliable enought o bring with me anywhere. At home I use my PT mostly.

Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it but I do have a package waiting in the mail for me with a new shorty and I have a few other batteries..It just sucks having like 5 shorties that won't operate right because when the shorties did work they were awesome vapor producers.

Yeah, the shorties really sealed the deal with me too!

Hope ya get your package soon, and if you need anything, by all means let me know!

Thanks man

Also it seems..if i pull on it without a cartomizer on it, then the LED will be constant and it seems the connection is good...but when I use a cartomizer I guess because of the air flow the draw is not powerful enought o keep the e-cig powered.
