Just a quick update, it was indeed one of my batteries. Got my new set of samsungs in a few days ago and all is well. Thanks for all the help and suggestions!

Yeah I understand the risk of going with Ebay, but if it only ends up being the batteries as the issue I still feel that I got a pretty good deal. Considering that the Sigelei batteries are usually $80-100 by themselves

HAHAH! Coincidental enough a story just came out a couple of days ago of a guy who's batteries exploded in his pocket at a convienent store, which fed the skeptics and nay sayers. And thanks for for the advice Earthling, I was looking at some Samsung batteries off amazon bt upon further research some reviews claimed them to be counterfeit so looks like it's back to the search again. I'll definitely check out the options you listed, as I said before I have never had to buy batteries so this is uncharted territory for me. And I have also already gotten in touch with the seller and voiced my frustration, he claimed to have no knowledge of the packages being wet (whatever). But he said if the batteries did not fix it and if I could provide proof of the packages being wet he would refund me. So thankfully if this doesn't work I'm not totally screwed.

From what I understand that if the mod is capable of more than 50 or 75 watts they use external batteries, and if the mod is not capable of that they use an internal battery (what I'm used to). And just a little while ago I just left the one battery on solid charge for at least 4 hours and it was indicating that it was fully charged. The mod turned on, showed half battery life and when I went to fire it showed low battery. So I'm just hoping that these batteries are garbage. I've been looking at some NEW Samsung batteries on Amazon so I'll probably just pull the trigger on them. Thanks for all your help!!

I was hoping they just wasn't charging enough but I assumed they were probably bad. Oh well, I'll order some new batteries and hopefully will have this up and going in the next few days!

I'm almost sure they were used. On the charger one battery indicator is showing a full battery with no blinking and the other hasn't moved off of 1 full bar and the blinking middle bar.

Hello all!! Please excuse me if this is not the correct location to post this but I am techinically not new to vaping so I didn't feel that it was fit to post under that topic. First of all, I have vaped for a couple of years now but have always just bought the kits from local stores so I have never really had to deal with external batteries and such. I got a deal off ebay for $85 that included a sigelei 150 watt, smok tfv4, some boost IMR 18650 3.7v 2600mAh batteries, and a nitecore charger. Now the problem is, when I received it, the boxes inside the main package itself were soaked up with water. This was pretty infuriating since the main package wasn't wet so it was shipped that way. But nevertheless I aired everything out and dried it all up. And now, one of the batteries are fully charge (or so I think) and the other is half charged (or so I think lol) according to the nitecore charger indicator. I inserted the batteries just to make sure the mod worked properly and it keeps saying low battery. I have let the batteries charge for an accumulative time of around 2-3 hours so I would assume there should be some power in there? Now since I have never dealt with anything like this I am not sure if these batteries take forever and a day to charge or if the batteries are just bad and won't charge properly. OR if the mod is messed up. This is my first time really dealing with anything on this level so I guess you can call me a noob to an extent. So any help or comments will be fantastic. Thanks ladies and gents!
