Replacement charger for Ego-C Twist that I can buy locally?

[sk8man121]

Hey folks. My Ego-C Twist charger is broken, as in it was stepped on and fell into many pieces. Fun stuff. I ordered a new one from vapor beast, but I think it'll be a few days until it will get here.

Is there any type of charger that I can pick up locally (I live in Maine but no vape shops) that would fit the Twist and get me through for a few days? I realize finding an actual ego charger will be next to impossible.

Thanks.

Dude, that sucks. Try your local craigslist and on Ebay you can define local searches. Maybe grab a cigalike until the charger gets there. Or start a thread with your location and need for a charger some forum member would let you borrow. Damn I have 3 of those but I am just a little away from Maine. Once you get it you might want to check ordering backups from FT they are about $1.30 each. Wish I could be more help.

What type of charger would I be able to pick up at my local gas station (they have a bucket of em) that would fit the Ego-C?

Don't eGo's use the 510 bit in the middle for charging? I assume any cig-alike charger would work.

I have a few of those cig chargers kicking around and they all seem to be too small for the Ego-C...

The charger has to be a 510 connection and output 4.2 V at 420 ma. Using anything other than an eGo charger is risky business, and may lead to battery malfunction or worse, a fire.

There is a chance that you could use a charger meant for a smaller battery, but I prefer using only the intended chargers, so I don't recommend it. Your best bet would be to order a replacement charger online and spend the extra $$$ for express shipping.

If you are having trouble getting through the day, go ahead and get some disposables at the gas station to tide you over until a new charger arrives.

Let this be a lesson to you....ALWAYS have a backup. Also, have a backup for your backup. Better to have and not need than need and not have.

yeah that bucket of chargers you refer to are cell phone chargers and none will fit the twist. Sorry.
