I wanted a powerful box mod and the batteries that came with it stopped working. When I put it in the charger it goes beepbeepbeep as if nothing is there or its finished charging even though its dead. I got the 260 watt Variant box mod which is in a picture below. The thing thats pissing me off is it takes a special kind of lipo battery that I cant find anywhere. Its making me regret my purchase. What if the company this makes this battery goes out of business? Am I out $200 for nothing and gotta spend hundreds more on a new mod?

Its this battery right here. I really would rather not order online and wait days for it to arrive. Im going through withdrawals and need to find a store in Orlando, Clemont, Kissimmee, Ocoee, Windermere or Winter Garden, FL tomorrow that sells this battery.

Anyone else had this problem or know someone who does. Its incredible if out of so many ecig stores, none of them carry the battery Im looking for.

Hopefully you can find the battery from the links that Spirometry gave you.

I guess you have learned some valuable lessons from your experience:

  • Have a backup vape setup in case your primary setup goes down.
  • Do more research into your choice of purchase. Does my vaporizor require a special type of battery? How difficult will it be to get another battery? Might be a good idea to have a backup battery on hand in case the primary battery fails.
  • How old was the first battery? Why did it stop working? This sounds very odd to me. These batteries should last up to two years.

Just an added note. The deans mini connector will have to be soldered on by you or someone from the hobby shop. You're not going to find a lipo with that C rating and that connector.

What were they thinking when they made that box? That connector is not rated for half the amps that mod requires.

That's just pitifull. Add to the fact that LiPo batteries are not safe chemistry and will likely flame or explode if they go into thermal runaway.

How's your medical and property insurance, guyviella?

I don't know where in Orlando your at but try maybe colonial photo and hobby. I know they have some rc stuff. I haven't been there in a while though so I don't know what their business trends have been lately. Also try skycraft in winter park. They have a crap ton of stuff. There's several other small time rc places around that area. Also I think there's a few places around the milk district near bumby. Not saying they'll have it but it's worth a call. Also, and I know it's a long shot but maybe batteries plus. I think there's one in winter Park but I know for sure there's one in Altamonte on 436.

But yeah none of the shops in Orlando will carry that battery. I have rarely even seen any li-pos in the stores. Fast eddies on Michigan near orange might be able to point you in the right direction though. I know they got some lava boxes in or they're getting them in that would be a good back up vape. And I believe it's about 150ish.
