XL Battery Question

[newb]

I had the XL Battery for about a week now. It was going very good and felt close to my PT in performance.

Yesterday, it started feeling exactly like my regular batteries and it takes alot more effort to draw than usual.. Is it defective? Or now that it is broken in, thats how its going to be?

I really miss the PT like performance it had..

How is your XL functioning at the moment??

Did you try cleaning the connector? Don't forget to make sure those little air holes are open, too.

Is it an auto or manual?

my xl seems to be holding up pretty good,and i've had it for 2 months now...but i do have issues with reg batts.one in particular is crazy,you have to blow first or it won't draw,then it stays on till the cut off.how wierd,and it was a new chrome one too

Just take a clean cloth and a dab of alcohol and clean the silver threads and top where the hole is. Do not do more then mositen the cloth with alcohol. juice sometimes leaks down and gums up the threads causing poor contact.

Yes, it looks like the holes were clogged. So I took a qtip and cleaned the threads and inside. Then a safety pin to unclog the holes and it worked like new..

I have been vaping for 3 weeks and did not know that the connectors need to be cleaned.. I appreciate your help..
