V4L Vapor King Auto battery problem.

[Singapore Sling]

I bought my vapor king batteries about a year ago, tried it for a while and then went back to analogs.
Now I am trying to quit so I ordered some 0mg carts. I tried to use them and both of my batteries are malfunctioning now.
They "pull" or "burn" for far too long after I have stopped inhaling or they keep it up until I unscrew the cart!
I had previously charged them and I tried hooking them up again but everything comes up fully charged.
Why do both of my batteries appear to be broken now and is there any way to fix this?

The drag sensors sound like they got juice on them some time in the past and are now sticky. That is why most people here recommend manual batteries. You can get plain color manual KR808D-1 batteries at LiteCigUSA.net for under $10 each with shipping under $3. I think they have both standard manuals and shorty manuals (less charge life).

I don't know how to fix them. I guess if I was desperate I would try running the battery down totally until the LED doesn't even light. Then dip the threaded end in rubbing alcohol, shake that out, and repeat many times. Shake out well and try to dry it. When sure it's dry, charge?

Thank you so much dormouse. I had no idea that I could get the same battery elsewhere for less! In the mean time I think I will try to clean them because hey, what am I going to do, break them more? LOL

You could try soaking them in alchohol for a few minutes.Just put it in a cup up to the threads.Then let it dry for a while.I havent done this,but read it in the V4L subforum.

Buy manuals. When refilling cartos it's inevitable that you will sometimes gets drips on the end of the battery. I wish KR8 manuals were totally sealed like 510 manuals but at least the manuals aren't dependent on a drag sensor.
