Flashing 510 battery

VaporFiend · 07-21-2009, 05:02 AM

So I just got my first 510 today and already went thru 1 battery (about 2 hours of steady vaping). It was great, let me tell ya! Anyway, I put a new battery on it, get two drags from it and the LED starts flashing rapidly for about 10 times, then nothing. Is it dead? They were supposed to come charged from the dealer and I hope he just forgot.

Fiend;
You have probably already found out before you read this, Yes the battery has cut off.
The 510 seem to hit hard up to the last puff, so that implies to me that they cut off close to the recommended 40% point. Others, like my Mod which has NO digital circuitry, will go longer but get weaker as they get closer to being dead zero. Not good on a lithium battery. You get to use the 510 battery, and other models I sure from 100% to 40%. It might take until the 2nd or 3rd charge before they are conditioned.

Update: All batteries are charged and working well. Two were DOA and needed charging, no problem
