Problems with Batteries and PCCs

[Arsonade]

Hello again.
I've now been vaping for about a week and I really do love it, I've started getting the hang of the maintenance required but I think I have a few problems.
First of all, I bought the 501 kit along with the PCC.
the kit came with two batteries, but I could only get one of them to work, the other simply wouldn't charge, it would blink and then do nothing. I was ready to ignore it really, I was planning on getting a few extra batteries anyway.
But now my other batt is refusing to charge in the PCC, this is a problem as I'm not at home often enough to use the proper charger all the time
I realize that the obvious solution to this is to return it and get a replacement or a refund (I bought it from N-haler) but is this something that happens often? if so than it seems the PCC wouldn't even be worth it.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks
-Adam

Sorry to hear about the bad luck, Arsonade. Of course it happens occasionally, but it always is terrible when it happens to you.

NHaler seems to be a very reputable supplier from all I've read. I'm sure they will gladly work with you to straighten this out. Just contact them as soon as possible.

My co-worker uses a 510 with PCC and the combo really works for her. Personally, I'm too heavy a vaper and went with an eGo instead.

Hope your a happy vaper soon!

Try cleaning the contacts on the batteries (use a q.tip and rubbing alcohol). Check if the batteries charge on the regular charger. Check if the PCC is fully charged. If the batteries charge on the regular charger, clean the PCC contacts by rolling a soft tissue where the batteries go in. Turn it a few times and check the tissue for dirt and juice.

If there truly is a problem, and you can get a replacement or a refund, as suggested previously get an Ego and be done. For the life of me I can`t figure out why anyone would go with a regular 510, and I`m truly not being rude in any way, so please don`t take offense. By the time you but a dual 510 kit a PCC and maybe another battery, you`ve spent more than you would have on an ego, and are still fussing with charging all the time.

To add I bought my wife the 510 kit a month ago when I bought my Ego, and the batteries aren`t holding 1/2 the charge they used to, and my Ego Batts are like the day I got it.

zbass - I actually dscovered the ego about half an hour after ordering my 510, it really does look better in terms of longevity and it will probably e next on my list.
Unfortunately that has to wait until I have some money, so for now I'm stuck with the 510 (not that that's that bad)
Portguy- thanks, I wll deffinately give that a shot.

I think I'm going to try and contact n-haler and see if we might be able to work something out, it has only been a week after all.

Thanks for the tips guys
