Batteries Dying

[bugsman]

How long should a 1000mah battery last? I have had 2 batteries since May of this year, go totally dead. The light comes on but it doesn't fire the cartomizer. I figured the first one was probably just faulty as it only lasted about 2 weeks, but the second one just stopped working today. I'm thinking about looking into the mods for sure now since you can just buy batteries for them and keep those batteries stocked up. Thanks for any info.

you may wanna try cleaning the connections with a q-tip and some alcohol.

What kind of connector? Mine have KR808D-1 connectors and I've had the same problem with some of them (light comes on but it doesn't fire up the carto) until I learned the trick of re-setting the center connector on the battery using a small needle. See this video...

Try the e-power from Madvapes. Battery dies 6 bucks you are back in business. Had mine for a couple months now and love it. Price is good also.

Thanks for the info - still didn't fix it. It's dead.

Try lifting the center pin similar to what the vid shows. On the eGo, use a small screw drive and just wiggle the center pin. You should be able to get the screwdriver between the center pin and the wall of the connector and gently lift it (pry it).
