Need Help

[gloves007uk]

Hi all,

First post and all as I am new to the e cig revolution.

Having had a quick look on the internet I opted to buy a
Skycig starter pack having seen gleaming reviews on their website. How wrong
was I !

After the first few days the battery went on me and wouldn’t

charge. So after a quick look around I decided to go for 2 manual 501 batteries
as I had a load of skycig carts to use up and with the threads being the same
thought why not.

I now have 2 501 batteries and I am using my skycig charger.

I have noticed that when I plug them in the light goes red on the charger (as
expected) but the batteries keep flashing 3 times every 5 seconds and not one
has signalled the green light on the charger to say its fully charged.

Can I use a sky sig charger with a 501 battery ? reason why

I ask is I have one battery that has now gone dead and wont charge.

Is the 501 batteries compatible with the sky sig charger or

do I need another charger?

Any help would be grateful as I have said I am new to

this but having been stung by skycig I don’t fancy getting stung again

 

Cheers

Hi Gloves to the forum

SkyCigs do have a 510 thread so it's easy to get unbranded cartos for them. Not sure about the charger though, although the connection will fit, it still may not work properly

My advise would be

Get back to SkyCigs, they do give a warranty on their batteries so will probably replace it, then

buy another 510 charger, or better still, if you're not bothered about you e-cig being the same size as a cig, you could get something a whole lot better for nor that much money.

You can also refill those SkyCig cartos with e-liquid

Hi I believe oneday has already stated that the sky cig and charger are reverse polarity therefore not suitable for charging other 510 threaded bats .....

Thanks for the advice Karma will get in contact with them and see what they say. I am not really too fussed about the size e-cig what other models are out there that are worth a look at ?

your SkyCig cartos will fit on either of the above. You will have to buy some e-juice to refill though

Hi 007

Some good advice there from Karma

gloves007uk if your quick, you could get this battery, charger & ce5 clearo from paradisevape for £7.70 delivered

I say 'if your quick', as they sold out quickly last time James had them.

Hello & welcome Gloves.

Fagsareus is right, the Skycig and charger are reverse polarity therefore not suitable for charging other 510 threaded batteries.
