    Default One quick question

    Hi guys, So as i've been getting more and more into this world, I stumbled upon the EGo clearomizers (stardust type) at hoosier's place and I love em. So easy to use. My issue is, once I had it for about 3 days, it started sporadically dropping out sometimes and eventually stopped working entirely on one of my batteries only. The other it does just fine. It's like the power connection isn't making properly on the one i've used more. Funny thing is, regular cartos still work on the one that the stardust does not. Any ideas as to why this would happen and how I can fix? Thanks!

    Sometimes the innermost batt pin on the clearo gets pushed in and is not making full contact with the battery. GENTLY pull the clearo batt pin out a touch. Also make sure there's no juice on batt and clearo batt end.

    I've always wished that people would send me their DOA atties & cartos instead of tossing them in the trash, I'd have a lifetime supply of good atties & cartos!

    Yep. A few months ago picked up a PC in the trash- 6 months old and retailed for $2000.00. Took it home and turned out the drivers were messed up. Uninstalled and manually reinstalled drivers and now runs like a charm.

    I think i messed up the "GENTLY" part. Apparently a twist is ill advised. I am now getting this rapid blinking of the button light every time i try it on both batteries. I assume thats short protection??

    The clearo is prolly done. Remove from batt and don't use as it may damage the battery. Sorry that we couldn't resolve the issue.
    When I or friends have had this issue I don't twist the pin but pull it straight out with a little "hook" pin I have.

    Normally all you need to do is just stick the end of a paper clip into the center hole and wiggle it around a bit and the center pin will re-seat itself properly in the rubber insulator.
