Ego battery not firing

[Sassy]

Wahhh!



It was only bought 2 weeks ago as a starter kit from eCigWizards B&M store in Peterborough, it's a 900mAh.

I was told of the little centre plate being too low causing the same issue, numerous attempts at adjusting that haven't fixed it so I don't think it's that.

The light still works fine but it's not firing the atty.

In usual Sassy fashion I can't find the receipt anywhere so returning it to them is a no go

I've youtubed, any videos I see about fixing them require soldering and it's not something I've ever done before and don't even own a single bit of soldering equipment

I think it's done a dead.

Any other things to try or should I send the 2 week old little thing off to battery heaven with lots of curses under my breath?

What atomizer/clearo are you using?

Sometimes eGo fittings don't fire for me.

[Sassy]

Evod.

I've tried a brand new head and the same evod on my twist and it's fine, it's most definitely the battery.

Luckily I bought a back-up battery today but well, it has flowers on, the battery not firing is OH's and for obvious reasons he doesn't want to use my back-up so now he has my twist and I'm on a non VV battery which was only bought as a spare to use when my twist is charging

Rubbish!

I have had LOTS of evods not fire on my batteries. I resolved the issue by using an eGo-510 adapter almost all the time.
It wouldn't surprise if this is your issue. Have you got anything else to try on the dodgy battery?

[Sassy]

Yep, tried the clearo that came with the starter kit, not firing

Is that one eGo too?

Have you got anything 510?

[Sassy]

That's everything we have, the starter kit itself and we bought evods the day after.

Sassy hopefully others will be along to help you; but please don't throw the battery away even if you cant get it to work. If you send it to raid2506 he may be able to sort it for you, or if not he recycles bits and pieces from them.

[Adam78]

no multimeter to check if you're getting any voltage out the battery?

[Sassy]

PANIC OVER!

Receipt has been found!

No multimeter Adam78

Phoenixflame (Julie) - Hoping this one will be exchanged with no quibble but if I ever get a duff battery I'll give raid2506 a PM so he can use it as spares and repair or something!

Thank you all so much for your help!!

[Phoenixflame (Julie)]

I'm really glad that you've found the receipt and will be able to get it exchanged now.

Did it suddenly stop working when you changed the atomiser? If so, it's almost certainly the centre pin being too low.

I have a multimeter here if you want to use it and are passing. LMK anytime you want help, as I go to Northampton for work every week, so pass Thrapston on the way home.

Here if you want help

Aww thanks womble!

Yeah, it stopped working at yours but Nath just presumed it was about to run out so thought he'd charge it when we got home which is when I realised it wasn't firing!

I tried so hard to convince him to take my new flower battery down the pub with him tonight but he was having none of it

[womble]

Dammit, I wish he'd said something while you were here. I might have been able to sort it out.

I wouldn't take your flower batt down the pub either, I told you, go big and black


If it ran out while you were here and you've tried charging it, then it looks like it might be broke. Remember the AAEC motto, backups for backups... for backups, for backups, etc and on and on.
