How did it die? What is it doing, or not doing? Did you make sure the contacts on the battery and the charger are clean? Is the battery not charging at all?
If the problem seems to be with the battery, and the contacts on the battery and charger are clean, you may have been over-tightening the tank onto the battery and pushed the center pin in. This is a fairly easy fix. Just make sure to turn your battery off before starting. Take something small and slim, like a paper clip or a yarn or tapestry needle, and wiggle the center pin on the battery up just a smidge. When you attach your tank, finger tight is good.
If you think the problem is with the tank - are you getting any vapor or taste at all? Do you hear any gurgling when you try to vape? Is there any eliquid on the battery contact? Is the tank cracked?
If you are getting little to no vapor, hear a gurgling sound when you try to vape, find that you have to draw harder when you try to vape, and/or notice more than a tiny drop of eliquid on the battery, you probably need a new coil. If the coils on your tank are not replaceable, you will need a new tank. I would suggest looking for a tank with replaceable coils - much cheaper in the long run to get new coils than to keep replacing tanks. If the tank is cracked, or looks in any way damaged or melted, you may be using an eliquid that is what is known as a "tank cracker". Tank crackers are eliquids that can damage plastic tanks, such as citrus and cinnamon. There is a list here on ECF of eliquid flavors that can damage plastic tanks, and some vendors, such as Mt. Baker Vapor, advise which of their eliquids have been reported as damaging plastic tanks. If your tank is damaged, you will need a new tank. I would suggest a glass tank, such as the Protank 2 Mini. They are relatively inexpensive. With a glass tank, it will not matter what eliquid you use, and the coils are easily replaced at a reasonable cost. I clean our used coils, and usually average an extra 2-3 uses per coil before they finally die.
Don't give up on vaping just yet. Sometimes it takes a bit to find the gear and eliquid that works best for you. There is usually some trial and error involved. When my daughter and I decided to try vaping, it took a couple of months for us to come up with the money to get the basic cigalike kits that we thought we wanted. They worked for us. When I discovered ECF, I did a lot of reading, and thought we would be better served with basic Kanger Evod kits. It took another few months for us to be able to afford kits for each of us. We are in a happy place right now with the Evods. Mind you, we had quit smoking around 9 years ago, and started vaping around 3 years ago when stress and cravings were making smoking seem more and more desirable. Vaping, unfortunately, cannot take away the stress, but it helps, and it does satisfy the cravings, and we are still ex-smokers. What works for us may not be right for you.
Keep reading and asking questions. Even if you have to try equipment in steps, as you can afford it, it is well worth the effort.
