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!!!!
Howdy and welcome Hard to know. You might have shorted something with your Hackery. 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 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, 2019

That’s me though. Others may have better answers. I agree ... they say when in dought throw it out !! ... It's scary messin' with those batteries I'd go out & get something else ....That is if that's ur only device !! ... I have several devices actually to many for myself but (i
guess cause ima girl) if I think a device is cute I'll buy it & ask myself why later !! ...Keep Vapin' On !!

Lipo battery in it. What or which devices have Lipo batteries ?? ... I'm a lay person really to some batteries & I always buy devices with batteries already in em so I don't have to mess with putting them in devices I just thought they were safer !!

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.

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 !

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?

Battery Basics for Mods: The Definative Battery Guide for Vaping Ohhh yes i agree the education on most anything or even a little bit of
it is better than not knowing about anything or something at all ! .... Ty both for some knowledge I received today !
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. I assure you the Mini Aegis has a Lipo in it. I have both the Mini and the Solo, and you would not
be able to fit an 18650 in the Mini because it is too short by half an inch. Last edited: Aug 12, 2019
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 !

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.
Welcome to the friendly bunch Follow the above advice and stay safe. What do you do when your VUSE won't charge?Gently blowing the bottom of the device and into the charger can help dislodge any obstructions. Make sure that the three charging points at the bottom of the device are clean and gold in appearance.
Can you overcharge a VUSE Alto?Plugging in overnight will not overcharge the battery
Lithium batteries have a built-in auto-off feature when a full charge is reached to prevent the battery from being overcharged.
Why is my VUSE light staying on while charging?Whilst charging, the white LED on the Vuse ePod2 will flash to show that it is charging. The light will stop flashing when the Vuse ePod 2 has reach 80% charge. Once fully charged the white light will turn off.
