Hey guys about a month ago i got my afterglow and I was not impressed but still happy. I usually use it 15 minutes a week. I woke up this morning to find that one side does not glow any more! Im pretty sure its not the battery but idk.  
Thanks

Take the caps off and replace the battery. Easiest way to check it out.

It’s almost certainly the batteries, there are 2 on each side. I bought 100 of them for $7 on Amazon.

BTW to get the stacks off, use a spoon as they are tapered and the “string trick” doesn’t really work 🙂
