got my E-Power 18650 s'

[jungle]

well they arrived today. I got two, will leave one at work always as there is times I don't get home.

Charged the batteries for the big boys, and seem to have run into problems.

One of the units works fine, but I think the other is faulty. No blue light on button and as soon as I attach either the filled cartridge or a Smok Tech Dual Coil Cartomizer (1.5 ohm) I can hear it firing up before I even press the button. I have posted on the LF forums to see about what I should do.

Also, I got some RY4 e liquid, through the dual coil it is lovely, however through the cartridge it is truly disgusting.

Not sure if I have done something wrong here.

Don't use it if the atty is firing without pressing the button Jungle.

Liberty Flights will sort it out for you, without a doubt.

Cheers Jason, do you know if I can safley use the Smok Dual Carts on the Riva-T they fit just I don't quite understand the 1.5 ohm bit Don't want to damage the Riva-T.

[Chrissie]

Andrew, I'm sure Jason would say no, best not to. The Riva battery does have a high enough mAh to take a 1.5 low resistance attie/carto, but it could fry the circuitry in the button.

Hope LF get back to you soon to sort out your problem with one of your E-powers.

[jungle]

Understood Chrissie, I'll not chance it. I'll just use it on the working E-Power and give it a whirl tomorrow at work.

Any idea as to why the taste is so different between the smok tech and the cartridges?

Also, if I put 5ml of liquid in the smok tech how long can it sit before it evaporates/turns bad etc.

Thanks again.

Andrew

If you have the new model E-Power (looks like a big ego) it has a 5 click on/off. Don;t think that helps with your problem though.

LF should sort you OK.

[jungle]

Rogerh, tried the 5 click thing but no joy. Think it's the unit it self because I can hear it firing up as soon as I attach a cart.

Jungle, I hear e-powers will fire without pressing the button if the battery has been inserted the wrong way, might want to check the polarity.

First post here btw, hello everyone

[jungle]

Checked it.

[Sandra (aka Chillax)]

Hello whitebalance and welcome to the forum :-)

Good luck Jungle with that battery, what a pain :-(

[bel]

Sorry Jungle i can't help with your problem but im sure LF will get you up and running again soon.

Hope you don't mind me hyjacking your thread just to say hello to Whitebalance Please feel free to start a thread and tell us all about yourself

[jungle]

Hijack away

Not the battery though, tried the other 3 and same thing.

[Chrissie]

A slight hijack from me as well to say hello & welcome to Whitebalance

Andrew, it sounds to me like the button must be stuck in the on position?

Sorry, I missed your question there Jungle.

As Chrissie says though, my answer would be no to using DC's on the Riva-T batteries just to avoid any possible problems.

Stick to 2ohms and above and you should be absolutely fine

[jungle]

Excellent. Thank you.
