Help - battery light won't go out

[OneDay]

Hi sancerre and from me too.

I too started on Skycig and still use them sometimes. BUT - don't buy any more their carts - that's where they hook you and make their profit. The carts you have can be re-filled with eliquid at a much cheaper price and with many more flavour options

Hello & welcome Sancerre

As others have said, there are so many better e-cigs than skycigs. Have a look at what the good UK e-cig vendors have to offer -

Maccafan - if I understood a word of that I'd know how to answer . Non-tech translation says: battery is dead. Other batteries fit Skycig carts. I think. But thanks!

DJ - so does that mean you switched to other batteries/makes and then quit the tabs totally? Interesting. Thing is - and yes I do know that this sounds dim - I have some way to go before getting to walking down the road with a fake thing in my hand. Cutting down is a hell of a step, at least. For me, anyway .

Chrissie - thank you, but I'll stick with them for now - at least until I crack and find a better battery that fits all of the carts I've just bought!

Y'all post faster than I can type . Hi all, thanks for the replies. Think the way I'll go for now is try to get the battery replaced and then read up on other compatible batteries that may be better.

Suede - I'm not giving up, don't you worry! I like the SC - yes I know you experts don't but it does for me, at least for now.

Yes in short..

Sancerre, any battery that is listed with a 510 thread will fit your skycig catos

[sancerre]

I have some exploring to do then! Thanks - this is all very much appreciated!

[Chrissie]

Sancerre, please don't hesitate asking more questions. All questions help us to help you

[sancerre]

Thanks Chrissie. Right now my only question is how quickly I can get to bed, but I'll be back.

sancerre and congrats on cutting down.

If you're sticking to skycig, then at least consider refilling the cartomisers (tips) when they are empty. You'll save a fortune, as well as getting a better tasting experience.

Don't throw away the empty cartomisers. One day, have a look at one of the how-to videos - electroniccigaretteukforum.co.uk/index.php?/topic/176-can-you-refill-skycig-cartomizers/ for instance, and buy yourself some juice.

If you want it to taste like some cigarette or other then www.ok-smokey.com/e-cig-liquids/e-liquid-20ml.html is probably your best bet. If you want to start to explore the wonderful range of tastes available then maybe www.miragecigarettes.co.uk/shop/oasis-e-liquid-sample-pack.html or some other sample pack.

Yes! It was a £40 leap of faith.

Since then, it's been easy. Honestly. Painless.

I use a mini cig during the day out and about. I use a RIVA at home. By the time I'd bought the RIVA I'd already cracked it.

I worked out that to cover my "medium-nicotine" habit with look-a-like e-cigs I'd have needed to spend £4369 PER YEAR with E-Lites.

I can do it, today, using carts and liquid for £2 a day.
I could do it with carts only for £3-4 a day.

Even if you do move on to bigger (and better) things, don't throw away your looky likeys, I still use mine (filled with juice) that I take to work.

Hi sancerre,

I have a skycig too, sometimes if the light stays on I disconnect the cart and blow from the led end until it flashes and that seems to fix it.

If it's not just a temporary problem then it looks like new batteries.

I started on skycig, got a 510 but kinda stuck with skycig tbh, love the pcc and general cig size

If you haven't already got it I can pm you a recent code for the £11 skycig starter kit, much better value than buying 2 batteries, not sure if I can post it here though

Edit: and as others have already said, refill the carts or buy blanks and liquid, and if you're upgrading to something better then there will be people to offer better advice than me on your choices

[Chrissie]

No problem at all with posting the code here, llama
