Am I that unlucky?

[trying]

Help please!

Bearing in mind all the problems I have had with the previous kit - I now have the same problem!! Unlucky me!

Have been using the the two batteries and alternating them each day and charging for 3 hours each night. Have used the same atomiser and now the blue light has started flashing. Did notice that the fluffy bit in the cart was a bit dry. Now is it the battery or atomiser? Should I try the atomiser on the other battery but that may die as well, or could the atomiser be dead after 6 days. Or do I try a new atomiser on the flashing battery? ??? Help.

New atomiser on new battery first.

If that works ok, put the new atomiser on the old battery.

Don't try the old atomiser on the new battery.

Thanks Jason

new atomiser works on the new battery but not on the old one. So it must be the battery?

[VE Jason]

Yes, it looks like your battery is dead, but I still wouldn't use the old atomiser on anything else just in case it's that, that did the damage.

This had happened to me once and I am giving below what I did.

You can try the same once it might work for you

There would be a small white (or some other color) o-ring inside the metal connector which you can see from outside on the riva battery.

Take a small screw driver (The small ones) and slowly insert it through the sides and turn the battery 360 deg this will help in reseating the ring properly

Hi Shamreez

I think I have tried the right place - the connector wobbles about? but no still not works.

Sounds like you have been unlucky, I have never had a battery or atomiser die on me. Make sure you throw the bad atomiser away.

[Jemima]

Just a thought.... It wasn't the same atomiser as last tiem was it ?

[trying]

Lisa, I certainly am unlucky.

Jemima, no it was a whole new kit.

I think the problem is that I have let the cart get dry and it has killed the battery. I just seem to be always topping up the fluid but it is never enough, maybe this is where I have been going wrong from the start. Now I am nervous and keep topping up and flooding the cart. Not sure what to do now - whether to buy another or just give up.

Oooooo, don't give up please Trying, it really is a learning curve in the beginning . . . we've all been there, honestly.

If you're using carts, the secret is really to keep the filler moist, but not flooded, otherwise it's like trying to drive a car without any petrol in it.

Hi Perpetua

I really have tried but this is such hard work! It is so much easier to just light up an analogue. I don't think anyone has had this much trouble. I want so much to persevere with this but it seems that I am a killer of batteries!

Vaping and me don't mix.

How about trying a cartomiser or just direct dripping onto the atties?

[Chrissie]

Was just about to suggest the same as Lisa

Cartomisers are so much cheaper & hold more juice.

On the other hand, if you used a drip tip on your atomiser & just direct dripped about 3 drops to last about the same time as smoking a real cig, before dripping again

Trying please don't give up, your just having a run of bad luck. You will get there and the rewards are worth all the effort.

Chrissie or Perpy would the starter set i won help Trying? Im still looking to find a home for it.

[Perpetua]

Was that the 510-T kit Bel?

If so it may well do, with a wee tank system . . . take the guess work out of it a bit for Trying.
