Have you cleaned the connector on the battery and charger?

Check the centre pin

If you still need a new battery some decent cheap ones here

Yes, if you fancy trying it!

Have you tried raising the centre pin?

gordy 180 try and prise the centre bit up a littl with a cocktail stick os a pin but DONT touch the button whilst doing it
It may need lifting a touch to make a contact
failing that send it to me for repair pm me for details

Hell,yes.but you WILL want a bigger MOD once youre into VV vaping!if you can,go for a chrome LT or similar,it will save time AND money in the long run.

i tried to prise up the pin a bit and there seems to be some juice in there ill let it dry out seems that could be what the problem was
thanks for the offer colliwobbles that was very kind

anytime but usually it is the problem of the centre pin being pushed down too far you only need the atomiser to make a good contact not to be screwed down too tight
the other problem is if people drop them and the wire inside pops off the solder joint

If you get into the habit of cleaning your connectors regularly it should save juice build up! I use alcohol swabs

Gordy, the juice doesn't dry out on its own - you need to remove it. I use cotton buds and finish off with an alcohol wipe ( the same ones I use to clean my glasses).

i managed to remove the juice from the battery and it seems to be working for now thanks for the tips
