Ego Twist problem

[captainpugwash]

Bit of a disaster really, missed the postie yesterday , picked it up this morning, used it a couple of times and thought Wow ,the taste was so much better.
Took it home charged it up, had a vape put it down, it then rolled off the table (coffee table 2 feet high) onto a wooden floor and now its not working !
No lights at all when not connected to an atty and when i connect it flashes three times and thats it, nothing.
I connected it to the charger again , no lights , nothing, the charger stays green like its not even registering a connection.
Has anyone else had a problem with one of these its a steel 1000 mah model and ive only had a V3 clearo on it that is working fine on my other battery

I don't know if these turn themselves off as protection if they get a knock? Have you tried the five-click thing to check that it's on?

[captainpugwash]

Yes ive tired that, no lights at all, i will ring the Vendor i got it from in the morning but i think its kaput, bit shocked if a small knock can do that to it though ?

It does sound unfortunate

[Chrissie]

Really sorry to hear this Captain

[captainpugwash]

One of those things i suppose , seems a bit poor though, i have had a google around and found other people have had the exact same thing, 3 light flash , nothing, with the exact same steel 1000mah model, couldn't be they are not as well cushioned as the black ones, presuming they are like my vision kit batteries with an almost rubbery covering ?
It was making my DK tab juice taste fab as well , bit gutted but its not the end of the world or anything

That is unfortunate,I have dropped my 900mah iMist ego about 4 times onto a pavement or such like and the thing just wont die

Thank you so much for the offer but i have contacted the vendor and they are going to have a look at for me, i only had it for a few hours ,
Kind of you to offer, either way i don't thing it will be long before i am looking at another device that is not disposable and a bit more sturdy.
Now for my first try of a cartomiser...................................

no problem pug glad the vendor is sorting it for you

[captainpugwash]

Just to update, Vape escape have sent me a new battery out, i have to say top service, thank you very much
I am loving the twist, direct dripping now as well, think i'm finally getting the hang of things

Just caught up with this thread.
I had the same problem with a riva battery.

Colli kindly offered to have a look at it for me.

Sent it to him and he said it was a wire had come loose. He repaired it, and sent it straight back for no charge.

Top bloke and a credit to the vaping community.

I'm still a bit miffed at it breaking to be honest, i'm not sure if i've been unlucky or if they are easily broken, think i will be leaving it at home for a while and using my original vision batteries , just in case.
The coffee table has been moved to the centre of the room, the twist is either in my hand or in its own seat on the couch, knowing my luck i will sit on it tomorrow >
