Sorry to see ya go Burnie, but I can understand your frustration. I just don't know why I don't have the issue unless it's McAfee that stops them.
Well, my year's long Smok Alien love affair came to an end suddenly Tuesday it appears. I had a morning meeting with a bank investment adviser over money I had inherited in a mutual fund from my uncle. I got a surprise when the team showed up to put a new layer of asphalt on my lane, they were supposed to call to let me know when they were coming.
To make a long story short, I took the alien and off I went to the meeting, went to lunch to delay getting home till they had time to complete the work, bought some groceries and headed home. They were finished but had to park the car on the road and haul everything in. Then I had to go right back out to get some chopped meat that she forgot to mention in her text. When the dust settled, the Alien was nowhere to be found.
I have a tendency of sitting it down in various places when I've got a handful but, so far, all the usual places have been checked so either I left it sitting when I left lunch, I was talking to the owner about basketball so it's possible, or it's here somewhere not obvious.
However, the bigger issue is that I won't replace it if I don't find it. It was a replacement for my original when it stopped working. I had an APV400 that I never used so set it up but needed a new set of batteries for alternating. I knew I had two Samsung that I had opened up just recently but they weren't on the desk where I thought they'd be. They were in the old alien, I tried them to see if new batteries would work.
When the old one died, I found one of the batteries also was dead. Now I have one dead brand new battery. Apparently whatever went bad in the old alien just kept draining one of the batteries.
