I bought the smoke fifty one trio starter kit at the mall about 2 months ago.An it seems like the battery doesnt last very long at all.at least a couple hours shy of what it used to be..One cartdridge they told me is about 3 packs of smokes.Thats an outright lie.Id say about a pack at most,it starts to lose taste power at id say 15 smokes..An the battery lasts less then half a day.An im smoking it as advised,softly inhalations which give you a better drag anyway.

Its still cheaper then cigarettes an healthier but they shouldnt lie about it.Thats false advertising.An buying a new battery is 50 bucks.I wouldnt care if it been a few years but 2 months.??

Is anyone else having these problems ??

Welcome to ECF


you my friend have fallen for the "marketing hype"....Anybody that claims "their carts are equal to any amount of cigs" should tip you off that its a scam.. that being said, any rechargeable battery loses life span over time... its just the nature of the beast... I have never used smoke 51, but I may suggest that you consider an upgrade before you have no ecig...

There are lots of rebranders that lie. It's like they try to outdo each other with their claims of how long a battery or cart lasts.

is this a 3-piece with atomizers and carts? or a 2-piece with a cartomizer? Neither lasts even 1 pack. Well maybe a cartomizer might occasionally, for a person who never took a lot of drags out of each cig.

Are you adding liquid to the carts? A bit dangerous with auto batteries since it doesn't take much leaked juice to damage an auto battery (or even a manual with an unsealed threaded end, but it take more juice inside to damage a manual). But you can get more use out of each that way.

Batteries are good for about 150-200 recharges then start to lose their ability to hold charge. They may get bad sooner if you constantly run them down to nothing. Auto batteries have an extra problem - if you leak juice on the end of the battery, even if you don't hurt them badly, it is possible for the drag switch to get sticky and turn off slowly and that can waste charge. Also - it's summer. if you are driving with the car window open or in other wind or vibration, that can sometimes trigger auto batteries and waste charge.

I bought a Smoke51Trio from the mall also. The Big Lie is that a carto is like a pack (or 3) of cigarettes. That's completely fabricated - pulled out of thin air. Vape until you feel satisfied. They lied to us and probably scared you like they did me. By their calculations I was vaping the equivalent of 4 packs a day. And those cartos aren't cheap. You need a different kit. Until then, your Trio came with a lifetime warrany on the batteries, right? Go trade them in every few days. That's what I did. You're not going to get more than an hour or so out of that tiny batt between charges if you're a moderate vaper. The good news is that 510 cartos will fit on the Trio. You can buy them for much, much (much!) less than you're paying and get good juice rather than the plastic-tasting pre-filled cartos they sell. If you want kit suggestions, holler. There are 100x better kits for $30. Here's a video with a couple of Trio tricks that kept me from smoking when I was using the Trio. The good stuff is in the last two minutes. Hang in there!
