i've managed to ruin both of my blu auto batteries and i've only had the kit maybe two and a half weeks. i realize you can ruin them by getting liquid down in them but i have no idea how i got it down in there. every time i fill a carto i always wipe the connector end off, blow through the carto etc. i have another battery in the mail on its way to me but seriously, i can't keep buying them all the time. what am i doing wrong here? is it possible i ruined them some other way? and no, i have never tried to charge it with the PCC plugged in.
what am i doing wrong here???

after you start vapin on them they heat up inside and the juice runs a lot easier,,,been there done that
do yourself a money saving favor and switch over to manual batteries...over flow is not an issue then

Ditto denali has a good point, manual batteries are typically sealed and no fuss. They are relatively inexpensive, ego type....and they last a whole bunch longer....mine last me 12-14 hours on a 1000mAh. Good luck yepimon
I'd recommend you get an Ego. If something cigarillo-sized is too big for you, then get a Volt instead from smokelessimage.com .
To spend more on Blu products is, in my opinion, throwing good money after bad. Go ahead and upgrade, it'll save you money in the long run.

...your first problem is the Blu batts themselves...the second is a fact of auto batts, do yourself a favor and get better batts, either an Ego/Riva/Kgo or if they are just too big for ya, try the semi-sealed autos from smokelessimage.com...especially the XL sized ones............

the semi-sealed do a good job of not killing battery with casual drips. They do need more maintenance because the airholes are still there, just moved under the post and smaller. They need a good alcohol wipe every couple of days. Even if you are an auto fan like me though, you should have a manual-just to see why so many recommend them. There are many things you can do and try, knowing you won't kill the batteries with juice.
I suspect you are just running those batteries more than they can handle. You need to get a better model. Volts, Bloogs etc are good analog looking ones that are also cheaper than the blu.
If you are vaping heavily, a larger battery like a EgoKgo/Riva should be concidered. There is also the echo which is a larger battery model and revived my love for the simple fiddle free auto varieties.

Standard KR808D-1 cartos. The Volt, as well as Bloog, Smoov, Halo, V4L, etc. work best with cartos that are 2.5 - 3.0 ohm.
If your interested in learning more about the Volt then I suggest you visit this thread and ask some questions. Anyways, as others had said. They use 808 cartos and there are drip resistant "sealed" batts that are now available:

I use volt sealed autos and have not had a problem with them. Some of my cartos have leaked on to the battery post soon after refilling and it has not hurt the battery at all. I have managed to kill 3 510 autos that were not sealed within a couple of weeks so the volts are doing well. I do have a riva manual battery but I just prefer using autos.
If you have tried Everything and are going to throw the Batteries away, there is one thing you can do which Might save them.
And that is to soak them in Rubbing Alcohol for about 10 minutes. Give them a Shake or two. Then pull them out and Shake and a blow thru the LED end to get as much of the Alcohol as possible out.
Then set them in a Warm spot like a Sunny Window or on top of a TV or Stereo Reciever for 2 or 3 days.
It isn't Garanteed but I have revied a few auto's, as well as a couple of members I have told this about, a few times.Only do this if you have tried Everything else.
BTW - You didn't happen to Charge your Blu Batteries with a 510 Charger by any chance? Blu and 510 e-Cigs Batteries have the same Thread but Opposite Polarity.

I've heard the Blu batteries are very unreliable and their performance is inconsistent at best
Like the above posters have said, I'd recommend getting a volt or an ego.

just ordered a basic starter kit (one battery) from volt. i swear i hope this stupid thing works on me because so far i have spent a total of like 80 dollars on ecig devices alone (not including cartos or juice) and i've been vaping a little less than a month. might as well keep the battery from blu once it arrives since i have like 25 cartomizers for the stupid thing.
Yeah.....you'll need a backup battery. All those batteries typically get a couple hours max run time before you need to charge them.
i don't like the blu batts. i dont like anything about that stupid thing
I'm sure you'll love the volt, did you order the sealed auto? I spent quite a lot on different brands before finally finding the volt. I just wish I had bought that in the first place, I would have saved a lot of money.
