Even if the battery has had it's day there's still something there or the led wouldn't flash so the charger light should go red.
The charger doesn't care whether the battery is charging or not, it's the ego pcb that controls the charging so to me it sounds like a dodgy connection.
If you've got a test meter you could try measuring the battery output, should be 3+ volts when it needs charging. If it reads zero then there's a connection problem inside the ego.
Also I've found that sometimes my batteries don't charge so I unscrew them a little and away they go.
It would seem that too tight is as bad as too slack.

(The usb spec is 500ma. at 5v but some usb ports on pcs/lappys don't give that so chargers won't work. )

Until i get paid (spent tooo much already) if I can't up the voltage I'll reduce the ohmage, not as good but as a beginner it works for me,
3.3v at 1.8 ohms is pretty good.

(The AAEC sig banner is supposed to show how much I've saved. What it's really showing is how much I've spent on vaping but apart from a vv battery I should only need to buy concentrates for the next few months)

blue led lights when I fire it robby.

I'm thinking of sticking it on a bigger mah battery, it's only 2 wires to solder so easy peasy and it runs my T3 at 1.7 ohms quite nicely.

Very strange. I've heard of ego-c but thought the c stood for cartridge or something.
Holding the button down when it's switched off doesn't do anything, maybe it's a faulty c type that's stuck in fixed voltage mode so gets put in the cheapos?

I've had 2 of these, when one burnt out I took it apart. The tube with the holes slides off to reveal a long wick and can be repaired. (not tried it yet, waiting for the wire).
The versions I've got have round holes but I've seen one with elongated holes so that may be the mesh one.
There is also a later version that has a replaceable coil.
Different places call them different things, CE3/4/5...version 1,2,3 etc.
They are pretty good but you should be thinking about something better (and easier to replace coils).

Oh, and welcome from one newbie to another.

OOH, shiney!! I want one.
