Questions about batteries

[LindaBLB]

Hope it's ok if I post this question here, I can't seem to post in any of the other forums.

I have the njoy e-cig. After a month of steady use, one of my batteries no longer lights up on the end. It still works for smoking, but it doesn't light up. Is it dying? Also, I dropped my other battery on the tile floor while screwing my e-cig together and now the light on it stays lit all the time, but doesn't seem to work for smoking. I attach it to the atomizer and take a drag, but nothing happens. Are both my batteries at death's door? Is there anything I can do to save them?

Thanks,
Linda

Hi, can't really help with this as I too have a battery that works, but with no led light. I have put it to one side for emergencies for the time being. I am sure though that someone will be along in no time at all with help for you.

any ideas anyone?

Well I'm no expert on this subject by any means, but I have read in more than one place that batteries usually only last about a month before they start dying. I would assume that this is just be a sign of that. From what I see batteries are considered as temporary parts, just like everything else about e-cigs, and need to be re-ordered from time to time. I don't know about the UK, but in the US they are generally inexpensive.

you are probably right, thanks for your input. What do you pay for a battery in the US?

Around 15 dollars. Ive even seen em for as low as 7! Of coarse you have to consider shipping which varies, but still not bad considering what they do

It could be that the solder came off of one of the LED connections, or the LED may have died.

Just pop off the grey cap at the tip and check if the wires are still connected to the LED circuit board.

dropping the one battery may have jarred something loose inside - unless you know an electrician or electronics repairman, you may have to give up the ghost on that one. The one with the nonworking led - you could pop off the grey "ash" at the end of the battery and check the connections to your led - it is in the "ash" part. If you feel confident enough, you can replace the led with a new one from Radio Shack. New batteries would still be a good idea though since they don't last forever and you will need one to smoke while you are charging your good one.

Id just pop the gray top, your wire probley came off or the led craped on you. Just make sure you heat the end of the cig up right b4 the cap so it slides out easy cuz Njoy puts them on tight.

Don't worry too much about the one that doesn't light, I had this problem, its just the LED. Of course, not having an LED means you no longer know what the ecig is upto so get it replaced
