Smoore new-design M201 batteries dying

[Doug_Dread]

The death toll stands at 5 in 2 weeks. I'll be happily vaping, or maybe pick up the M201 and vape, and *blink*, the LED goes out and the batt is stone cold dead. Unlike the old-design batts which also stop from time to time, but always reset after a few seconds, the new-design batts do not return from the grave.

At first I thought it may be e-liquid leaking into the batt and shorting it out, so I took precautions against this but to no avail, so now I don't know why. Strangely, they still take a charge so what is failing is the output to the atty.

Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone have a solution?

The new M201 vapes magnificently, but needing new batts every couple of days is a deal-breaker.

Yup, that's pretty much what's happening. I wonder if the M401 in that link is also a new-design Smoore product? I'm thinking design oops.

My old batts are 6 months old now and still going strong, they also work very well in the new-design atomiser and charge fine in the new charger, so I don't suspect atomiser or charger.
