Smoktech battery - Please help

[ScottP]

I originally bought a Greensmartliving 510 e-cig that came with a USB adapter to charge the battery. After a while the battery life started getting shorter and shorter. So I bought a Smoketech 510 automatic replacement battery.

As soon as I got the battery in I screwed it into the adapter and plugged it into my computer but the light did not come on. I took this to mean it was fully charged. So I used it all day and it worked fantastic.

That night I put it back on the adapter and plugged it into the USB port on computer and the light flashed about 20 times then went out. I left it overnight and the next day tried to use it. It acts like it is going to work, the light comes on and I can get about a half drag then the vapor stops coming out. Also, the light stays on for a few seconds after I stop trying to take a drag. It acts like it is not getting a full charge.

I have searched the internet for answers but everything just wants to sell the batteries, this is the only place that looked like it might offer answers. I appreciate any help advice.

Ive never used this specific battery but ill try to help. Im sure more help will come along soon. Does it do the same thing with a wall charger? Sounds like you might have a bad battery if it does. I'd contact the vendor for a replacement if you're still under warranty.

Actually yes. Since the original kit we got only came with the USB adapter, we had been using a wall plug that came with a Samsung phone. This worked perfectly for the old battery. We are seeing the same problem with the new battery using this as we are the PC. Also we have 2 of each battery since my wife also vapes. So if the battery is bad then we managed to get 2 bad ones.

I am wondering could it be possible that maybe the two different batteries have a different polarity or something?
