XL bat "misfires"

[bluesuede]

I have an XL manual bat (single logo) that misfires. That is when I push the button sometimes nothing happens. I actually have to look for the LED to see if it's on before I inhale. This happens more often than not and is a little annoying. Have only had this bat for a couple of weeks and it's been like this from the start. I thought maybe it was "user error" like not pushing down hard enough or correctly but that does not appear to be the case.

Is there a fix or something I can do? Something wrong with the button?

I would PM Valerie!

im assuming you tried different cartos? sometimes i notice that certain cartos misfire for me. i know its the carto because its always the same ones.

Tried many many different cartos, all V4L. My other XL manual bat is not acting the same. I thought maybe there's a fix. I'd feel real funny contacting Val about this because she's already replacing a manual PT that died after 3-4 days. Same order. Think I'm jinxed... 8-o

Blue, I have a few manuals XL's like this...
I talked to Mark about these sticky switches and he had me forward the info on to Leaford (you may want to mention it to Leaford as well in case they're keeping a count). So hopefully improvements on the switch can be made in the future.

I can usually mess around with them to get them to work. I agree with you that it's a bit annoying, but the only time it's really a problem is while I'm driving (cause I'm always looking for the LED instead of watching the road). That being said, I think I'm going to switch to an auto in the car (and then pray I don't flood it...LOL...).

Now I'm spooked! I tried another carto just now and no misfires! I had to double check because of your comment. Thanks for the tip Henrid. I'll pay attention to which ones work and which ones don't. Weird cuz they're all OK on my other XL.

Spoke to soon... a couple of misfires but not too bad. Seem to work more often than not. A lot better than what it was, that's for sure. I'll just keep refilling this carto and keep for this bat.

It's weird. First time it's happened to me. Gremlins I'm sure.

Definitely get in touch with them and let them fix the problem. Their customer service is excellent and they will do everything they can to make it right.

You mean that's NOT the way they're supposed to act...huh?...I've got several manuals both regular and one XL that are like that...I thought it was just a "feature" of the battery...and one of the things that's kept me from buying any more batteries...

 

[leaford]

No that's not how they should act, and most do not. We are changing manufacturers because of these and other problems, and in the meantime let Mark or Val know and we will replace any malfunctioning batteries for you.

Hit me up with the order # you got this battery from. Also, the details on the type of battery. I'll get this fixed for you.
