Whats with my battery?

[zazz]

hello to everyone, i just got my first device (901) in the mail the other day and ive been enjoying it. after my first day of use everything went fine till this morning one of my batts didnt produce any vapor. i switch to the other and its fine. the light still comes on and the charger goes to green so i guess its charged. any ideas?

weird, I just made like the same post...

it is possible if you screw it into the charger too tight, that the center electrode get pushed down and no longer contacts the atomizer....there is a link somewhere for a staple mod, or a tooth pick fix.

Never trust lights on chargers, rather, charge the recommended time in the user manual. It is very possible you got a bum battery. Try to get it exchanged and/or troubleshoot with your vendor. While you are at it, buy a few extras 'just in case'. If you are in front of a computer for a few hours a day, think about picking up a passthrough. It powers your e-cig from the USB and saves you from switching and recharging batteries so frequently.

hmm, i'll fiddle with it. if its broken i guess im building me a magnum

Could be a broken wire that attaches to the connector , or could have flooded the auto switch...I don't know a cure for either of these problems.
That's the reason I quit using them and switched for a mod.

Could be the atty is not making contact with the battery's center post,take a small knife or screwdriver and pry gently on the center post of the atty it is surrounded by rubber,don't pry too hard,just enough to make sure it's making contact.

yeah thanks, i definitely need a usb passthru cuz the vapor on these are so-so sometimes

seems now it works slightly, but very little vapor then it quits. the other battery charges fine on the charger, this one just goes in, light turns red, then after a second it blinks about 20 times and light goes green....

I am having 901 Batt problems today too.
This is to strange. I am not impressed with the 901. Got it because of all the recomendations here. Thought it would be easier.

Today: little vapor, switched batts. Put it on the charger, no light change, no flash. Shook it, LED lites. In the charger, nothing, just green. Powered off the charger, no change.
Unplugged the charger from it's power cord, plugged it back in and suddenly I get the flashing LED, red on charger..... now it's charging...??????
Who knows.

Off and on for the first two months.
I have 10 original 901 attomizers,all still working great , but not one of the original batteries left.
For me the stock 901 batts only last about 4 - 6 weeks.

Now I use my home made battery box mod with NIMH batteries,they are good for about 1000 charges and last around 60 hrs between charges.

I just received 4 new 901 batts so I can use my 901, but I only use it in certain "public" settings where I don't feel like explaining why I'm sucking on what looks like a homemade cell phone lol.

It's hard enough explaining something that actually kinda looks like an analog cigarette.

I've been vaping for about 4 months, and it's a constant struggle getting batteries and atomizers to work right - especially the batteries. They're too sensitive, sometimes they stick on or off, etc. etc. etc.

Think about going to something with a manual switch. Once I did that, it's been smooth sailing ever since. I got the Yeti from E-smokey-treats, and couldn't be happier.

Ditto on sucking a box, but it works!

My 901(OVERRATED), 2 weeks, both batteries sticking on. Took in downstairs and let the Shop Vac suck on it for awhile. Just off and on til the LED started blinking. Seems to be working OK now. Will see. I park them cart down so I don't think it would be flooded..? 901, who knows?

Thinking if it starts up again, I might Shop Vac it with an alcohol soaked rag over the Led end... don't want to short it... will see....

Could use the Atty's for Mods but the carts don't wick well either....... Did I say OVERRATED?! Yes, I did the straw thing.
