Riva 1100 mah and Ego 900 mah advise please

[Jules]

Hi All,
I received on Tuesday 26th a Ego 900 mah and on Friday 29th I received a Riva 1100mah, both from different suppliers.Now I am having the same problem with both of them that in when i press the button and take a drag the button keeps flashing, it flashes about 8 times, at first I thought they might want charging but this is happening when they are freshly charged as well . I also have a Ego 650mah and have no probs with this, I also have 5 Tornado batteries which I have had between 2 years and 18mths and have had no probs with them at all in fact they are still going although I have noticed they don't keep their charge for long that is why I thought I would try these Ego's and Riva out, is this the norm that they flash when you take a drag? or am I doing summat I shouldn't even so with this happening I do like them specially the Riva as it lasted me all day n night yesterday:).

Are you presing the button too long? I think they have a safety cut out

Also I was always accidently turning my Riva battery off, it has a 3 click off/on function. The ego is a 5 click one.

Make sure no juice is sitting on the connector.

If all else fails then get in touch with the vendors, they really are a helpful bunch

Lol, was going to say the same as Karma - especially about the cut out if you are pressing the button for too long

If they are new , you should email the suppliers..

Do they exhibit the same behavior when you do not have anything screwed into them?

The Riva will cut out if the button is held for 10 seconds ( Robin shouts at me..... ) .................

Thanks for all your help, I feel a reet narna now :-[ just done a intentional long drag and yes it is the cut off cutting in you would think after all this time of vaping I would have known that , it seems I do a long drag every time then as they flash nearly every drag I take . Thanks again

glad you've sorted it out Jules

Just another quick question to ask.............. I have been using my 2 Titan chargers to charge everything I have, now I have just noticed TW say if you want to charge your Tornados with a Titan charger I need an Adapter ??? but I have been using these chargers since Nov 09 when I first got my Titans and they have been charging everything ok including Tornado, Ego and Riva batterys ( I hope)....... do I need this adapter or what? am a bit confuddled lol

No they Didnt Macca

[maccafan]

Yeah I gathered..

If the center pin is shorting you can get the same behaviour..It wasn't clear to me from your initial post if that you were actually able to vape with these batteries..

With regards to your charger question, if it has been working for 2+ years then I see no reason to worry about what TW are saying on their website now..

I don't think you need an adapter, but does it not take a very long time to charge an Ego through a Titan charger?

No they don't seem to Karma probably a couple of hours tops
