Evening all!
Old member returning here for a little bit of advice please. I have been vaping successfully and without issue for coming up to two years now so I am stumped at this.
Right...I have three Riva/Ego batteries and a newish charger. One of the batteries is brand spanking new and arrived this morning. Went to use it knowing that it has factory charge and got 2 seconds before the green light started flashing, so I charged it up. Went to use it this evening and the very same is happening - 2 seconds use and the battery light starts flashing. Now, the charger seems to be working ok as it is charging fully another slightly older Riva battery and there is no issue there, however, I have one other battery which *should* have a lot more life left in it and the same is happening to it too: 2 second use and the light starts flashing green on it. Can anyone shed any light on what may be wrong? I have cleaned all contact points on both chargers and batteries and had a general fiddle around. Is it the battery? Is it the Ego clearomiser? Is it the full moon in Venus rising or whatever?
Ta ever so much!

Sounds like the clearomiser Sam, especially if 2 different batteries are doing the same thing.
Attach the batteries to a mains adapter - turn the power on/off a few times to reset them and then try a different clearomiser/tank on them.

Ah Jason, you STAR! Thank you! Changing the clearo worked. I wonder why they didn't like that particular one? It's a rebuildable. Should I bin or is there anything I can do to salvage it does anyone know?

Should I bin or is there anything I can do to salvage it does anyone know? It sounds like the resistance of the clearo is too low or there is a short and the Riva protection circuitry is kicking in. You say it's rebuildable, so you could try it with a new coil and see if it will fire. |

Can you give us a bit more detail of the clearo you are using, and we can then give you more help? It may be that there is a short or bad connection somewhere that is causing the problem, and a new coil or atty head will solve that easily  |
