This ever happened to you?

[jmpublius]

This is a little odd. I have two manual batteries, one green LED, and one blue. I pull out a VG WOW Chocolate Carto and put it on my blue batt. Nothing. So I pry the post on the cart and still nothing. O.K. pry the post on the batt. Nothing.

So I try the same carto on my green batt, and it works. O.K. So I clean the blue batt, and try again, still nothing. So it's the battery, right?

You would think, but just for the hell of it I try a Cool Cart Blueberry on my blue batt, and it works??? I also have a WOW Cherry Cordial, and that one works. So I put that VG Chocolate back on the blue batt one more time. Still doesn't work. So I put it back on the green batt. It works.

What gives??? My blue batt doesn't like VG??? I don't get it.

Umm, that IS weird. Sorry, no help from me.

Snow? Morandir? V4L staff?

 

[keelalagirl55]

lol...It doth protest the chocolate

That is a strange sitch! I am curious if anyone has any idea......(besides my lame protest excuse)

 

[Mmc]

Sounds like one of your batteries is getting old.

 

[jmpublius]

I've only had it 28 days. I thought maybe I slipped into the Twilight Zone of vaping.

 

[Morandir835]

This one has me a little stumped... Jmpublius sir, was it firing up with no carto if you pressed the button? Only thing I can think is the button was stuck/slightly off....

 

[katydid]

I too have had the same problem of a carto working on one battery and not another. Both batteries bought at the same time and rotated equally. It happened again today. Battery went dead so traded it out and nothing. Very strange indeed.

 

[Morandir835]

Ms. Katydid were they manuals or autos, what size, and cool or wow cartos? I'm going to try and recreate these issues tomorrow when I'm off...

 

[jmpublius]

Morandir sir, batt fires without carto on (or the LED lights up if that's what you mean by "firing").

 

[ninjindustries]

there are some slight inconsistencies with the manufacturing process. the center post isn't making contact. sometimes you can pry it up, sometimes the threading on the carto is messed up. the metal threading of the carto is generally weaker than the metal threading on a battery, so you can kinda force it to a certain extent. i have this issue currently with some of my kr808 stuff. make use of what you can, toss what you can't. i've had some 5 packs of cartos have 3 essentially doa. there's no iso type standard for e-cig stuff, and some of these poor overworked people make mistakes.

 

[Morandir835]

That's what I meant Jmpublius sir. Thank you for giving me a project until the stealth batts arrive sir.

Ninjindustries sir pulling up the post on the batt usually fixes that issue. Snow sir has an excellent video showing how to do that in the stickies section (would post the link, but copy and paste is a pita on this phone).

JM..where's the mystery? The blue batt likes the blue carto! LOL..Really I have no idea but sometimes it happens. I have a couple of cartos that only like certain batts. I am dealing with Peppermint cartos that seem to be too short, there is a large gap betweem the carto and the batt even screwed down tight. They won't work well on the pink batts but work well on my chrome batts.

 

[jmpublius]

It was fully charged at 6:30 when I was having the problem with the one carto. As far as I can tell, it's working with all other cartos. Problem is, I've used it maybe 3-4 times since then, and now it's giving me 3 blinks and stopping when I'm in mid-drag. The same thing you see when you screw it on the charger. I know it does the 20 blink thing when the batt's dead, but what does 3 blinks indicate? It's going dead?

 

[Mary Kay]

That doesn't sound right. Dead is dead..no blinking. But when I plug into the charger I get a few..when you overvape..draw too long you get blinks.
I am looking forward to the replies.

 

[katydid]

Morandir ... I am using the auto diamond series XL. It will be interesting to see if you can come up with something

 

[Morandir835]

That sounds more and more like a button issue Jmpublius sir. Might need to contact cs. Will still see what I can come up with though tomorrow.

Thank you Ms. Katydid. I'll do my best.

 

[Flowerlady-8898]

I've had the same thing happen to me. I noticed that the battery, in which I was using was one of those, that had the Black button on it. Certain cartos will not work at all on that battery, but will work on all of my other batteries, that have the regular Gold button. That's why I didn't ever buy anymore of those batteries, with the Black buttons on them, because of the problem that I was having with certain cartos not working on them. It seems like the threads are different on the ones with the Black buttons. They act like they don't want to screw on all the way.

 

[jmpublius]

Only problem with that is . . . my button's gold.

I'll probably contact CS after the weekend move. It doesn't seem to be holding a charge very well. My other manual that arrived at the same time is alive and kicking, and that's why I can tell something's up.

I think the vaping gods are telling me I need to buy a couple of those sleek new stealths for backups.

 

[Rappel_Welch]

I've never had it happen with batts of the same style, but I've run across carts tha work on my standard auto batts but not on my xl batts. It's just another vaping mystery. And with the sale, you can get a good deal on those sleek new babies. I might have to grab one of those myself.
