Welcome to the world's largest e-cigarette website. The voice of vaping since 2007 
Hard to know. You might have shorted something with your Hackery. One of the issues with pods is they’re totally self contained and don’t have much in the way of readouts. There could be any number of issues few of which are fixable. To make it more fun there’s a bag LiPo in that thing and they can explode if mishandled. In your particular position I would buy an new device and turn the origional in as toxic electronics waste. That’s me though. Others may have better answers.

I use both internal battery (not removeable) mods and external battery (removeable) mods. My preference is to use removeable batteries because I can pick and choose which model best fits my style of vaping from their battery specifications (amp rating and mAh rating). You can't do that with internal battery mods, because the manufacturer does the picking. Battery Basics for Mods: The Definative Battery Guide for Vaping Last edited: Aug 12, 2019

Aug 12, 2019 3 1 Been vaping for a while now, I love the Vuse Alto. Recently went on vacation and left my charger at my house (i’m an idiot i know) so i googled ways other people have charged their Altos without a charger. I tried the red and black wire touching to the bottom of the vape and had no luck. Now i’m home and my Alto isn’t charging....Help would be greatly appreciated!!!!More options

ECF Veteran Apr 8, 2012 30,394 73,077 71 Ridgeway, Ohio I agree with bombastinator. You probably shorted out the electronics with your attempted hack. I would no longer consider your battery device safe to use. Lipo batteries are nothing to play around with. They are extremely flamable and can explode. Below is a vape device that had a Lipo battery in it. Last edited: Aug 12, 2019More options

Click to expand...Cigalike batteries, Ego stick batteries, vape pod batteries, and internal battery mods use "lipo" batteries - the ones that can not be removed. Technically called LCO (lithium cobalt oxide). They use the most dangerous (most flamable and explosive) battery chemistry. The removeable lithium batteries fall into a "hybrid" or "safer chemistry" non-lipo category (IMR, INR). Both categories can be considered to be dangerous if they are misused or abused (short circuit). However, the safer chemistry or hybrid batteries are more likely to just vent hot gas rather than flame or explode; but they can also flame or explode depending upon the circumstances. There is no such thing as a "safe" battery. Deeper Understanding of Mod Batteries Part 1 Last edited: Aug 12, 2019

ECF Veteran Jul 20, 2019 375 609 Wow ... ty for the info ... I started watching ur video but I got lost in it after afew minutes ... but I see what ur saying & I just always thought the safer batteries were the ones built in guess I'm big-time wrong but I don't like the devices either that u have to put them in urself. So I dunno ... most of the devices I have are built in my vaporesso luxe nano mod. & I have an aspire zelos mod. & the rest of my devices are refillable pod devices. So i guess the next device I purchase I'll have to choose more wisely ...unless I wanna blow-up or catch-on-fire !Baditude said: Ego stick batteries and internal battery mods use lipo batteries - the ones that can not be removed.

Click to expand...Almost All devices that have internal batteries are LiPo batteries. There are a few exceptions but not many. LiPo batteries are unusual as they can be made to any form factor so devices with unusual form factors and internal batteries are pretty much guaranteed to have them. The only exception I personally know of is the ageis mini, and with that I’m making an assumption based on the similarity of the mini to the solo. LiPos are both cheap and powerful. As a result they are very common. •••

If you're more comfortable using an internal battery mod, then use that. But you can choose to educate yourself on the removeable batteries. They are a safeR battery, but you still need to use safe battery practices when using them because there are no "safe" batteries. There are pro's and con's to each type. Internal Battery (Lipo) or External Batteries (18650)? Which type is right for you?

ECF Veteran Jul 20, 2019 375 609 I have yet to try what they call the nic salts ... So how does it differ from the e liquid ?? ... I heard from afew that it was really bad to inhale or use ..but I haven't seen anything about nic salts good or bad in this forum .... So I've really been afraid to try it. If anyone or all who cares to write me about it or give in-site or convince me it's ok to use...please ! •••More options

The advantages are it has less throat hit and a longer unrefrigerated shelf life. The disadvantage is the company that came of with them so far as anyone can tell did zero safety research. The only bit of research found says They spike a lot higher and faster on blood levels so there is a potential that they may be more addictive. Their lower throat hit also allows a higher concentration of nicotine to be consumed, so it’s sort of a wine/whisky issue. Basically there’s just no data one way or the other. They’re a big fat question mark. •••
