This morning I waked up and put the charged batteries like every morning, no reaction at all. Finished vaping so i put the batteries in my external charger. Yesterday in my bed used it normally, no problem at all. This morning, my Alien VB version stopped working totally. My problems/symptoms seem to be the same as this post: In my case, the Alien absolutely refused to start/boot.
It wasn’t just a case of just the display having ceased to light up, while the rest of the mod’s functionality remains, as is frequently reported. However, after opening the battery compartment, and removing the batteries, with the Smok Alien still switched on, it thereafter refused to start, once batteries had been replaced. I had a secondhand Smok Alien, running VB1.0.2 firmware, that was working perfectly for a number of months, but I was only ever charging the batteries via the USB charging port.
