Something's not right

[f1mandi]

Hello,
I've been happily vaping now for almost two years & in that time haven't thought about a real cigarette.
I've been using Riva 510 batteries and carts but recently I'm having trouble with them keeping their charge and they seem to charge very quickly, also I have to wiggle the charger to light it red.
I've replaced the batteries, the charger and the plug, but nothing seems to have fixed it.

Any suggestions?

Have you been using the same Riva 510 batteries for 2 years?

If so, then perhaps the batteries have reached the end of their life.

[f1mandi]

No, I bought my current batteries in December. I've replaced the batteries, charger and plug for the charger totally over the past 2 or 3 months.

is it better in a pc usb port?

Could just be a bad batch of Riva 510 or Chargers, very strange

One thing i noticed about the Riva 1100 (maybe the same thing with the 510) is that if i plugged it directly into mains using mains adapter it would not charge, but charged ok via p.c/usb.

Never tried it in a pc usb port. Er... how do I do that?

Your 510 should come with 1 x USB Charger , just plug it into your computer usb port.

Sounds like there is somthing wierd going on there, there's somthing going on with them batterys , they must be faulty.

[f1mandi]

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I'll try a new battery first and see if that helps.

yes I would hope its ok

I can only suggest that you contact the Vendor and tell them about your problems.

There's a little voice that keeps tugging at my sleeve and whispering to me that I may have used the wrong cartomisers (low resistance)with the wrong batteries.

I've been ignoring the voice because.......... I KNOW THAT I AM NEVER WRONG ABOUT ANYTHING. EVER.

Maybe I should, just this once, listen to the voice because I had a look at the ones I bought recently and I think maybe that's what I've done.

Me wrong, imagine that

[Skwoddy]

Call the vendor anyway, can't say I've ever received instructions to not use a carto with a particular battery, and not all of us use forums.

[f1mandi]

Ok, will do.
