    Fried my eGOs, need help to start over.... again

    Probably very wise advice, as no one here sells vaping supplies, but finding just batteries would be a possibility.

    Fried my eGOs, need help to start over.... again

    OK... NOOB wreaking havoc here. Started w/ VOLT cig-alikes about a month ago. Fine for a starter kit, but the batteries need to be charged too often. And those cartomizers are awful. SO, I purchased two designer eGO 1100 mah batts from Vapor Girl and some clearos (Kanger T2s & CE5s). Like...

    Nah... I got nothing from either of them. They are just DEAD. And now the Celtic that I like so much is out of stock... of course. LOL.... you didn't really. It frustrates me that NOTHING comes w/ instructions or warnings. And really, they should!

    Good Lord! Lucky she was still standing there and had not gone to bed or left the house! These kind of stories really worry me. I don't want to find that my home burned to the ground cuz of a faulty batt or charger!

    I've thought about this... and IMHO, my fears need not be about the batts, but more in regards to the USER! I am going to re-order 2 more ego batts and punched cartos. Then I will also be hunting 2 other type back-up batts for the next time I blow something up. Another lesson learned. And I've...

    How did u short one out, Fran? And I only ask so that I may know the causes. This is not a problem I'd ever considered would happen. And I'm sure I likely caused it myself with my DIY punching. I knew to be careful not to punch thru to the center post but did not ever consider metal touching...

    Fried my new eGO batts??

    LOL 4 in a row. Need to learn to buy these batts in 6-packs. Well these were my first ego batts & both maybe 2 weeks old. And my first ever carto. And I blew them all up in less than 45 mins! I guess I need to get something to test ohms before using any carto again. I need to learn some...

    Thanks Gloria. I'll survive. But now I want batts that can survive my own ignorance AND carto short-outs! I'm open to suggestions Peeps... What do I buy this time?

    Thank u did that. It was suggested on the ego forum that I jiggle the pos connector with a screwdriver as sometimes the Boge cartos can push this connector in. Did that & the light went out. DONE with the eGOs. Gotta start over & this time SAFETY is going to be the primary concern. I'm throwing...

    Fried my new eGO batts??

    OK, I did this. And that did at least make the one batt light turn off. But did not help in the other one coming on when buttonn pushed. I'm going to assume that I shorted out my carto, which shorted out my batts. I'll throw these away tomorrow. I'm going to buy pre-punched cartos. And I...

    Fried my new eGO batts??

    Tell me what to buy, as seriously, I am DONE w/ these. I don't want to do this again. Do I need to have any concern as to the safety of this batt that won't turn off? This is making me nervous. I've read stories about these things "blowing up"... so to speak.

    Thank u and good night. That's it. I'm done. No more punching my own cartos. Tossing these & ordering pre punched. Howev, now I want better batts. This is just frightening. And the batt that won't turn off is scaring me.

    I don't have a meter. It worked fine for about 45 mins. Then POOF. Tried another battery and POOF. Both are now non-working. Wont' charge. On one of them the light light won't go off. Neither will now work w/ the clearos I was using prior. If I shorted the carto, would that also have...

    Fried my new eGO batts??

    I am afraid that I fried them, but I have NO IDEA what I did to kill them...? Neither now light up when put on the charger, either. I bought them from VaporGirl. Are there "idiot-proof" eGO batts out there anywhere that I can't kill....??

    Fried my new eGO batts??

    Yes, tried a clearo and neither batt now works. At all. And, yes, I filled the carto. Boge LR punched carto (punched myself) and an IBtanked tank, 1100 mah batts. It was all working fine for 45 mins or so. Then POOF. I don't know what I did!! I don't see any liquid coming out the bottom of...

    Fried my new eGO batts??

    I got a tank today, and filled it up, using a BOGE carto. I've never used a tank, but I followed the instructions given and it all seemed to be working fine. Then a burnt taste and NOTHING. So, I took the tank off that batt and put it on another batt and burnt taste again, then nothing. Now...

    I still have the VOLTS, but only 2 nanos and a couple of blank cartos. WHAT did I do? How did I fry my freaking batts? It's something to do w/ the tank and cartos. But I don't really know what I did....? Are there any ego batts that ignorant people CAN'T fry?? WTH

    NO.. I think I killed em. Got a burnt taste, then nothing at all. No power. Purple one does NOTHING, blue light won't go off on the silver one. And my carto looks flooded at the top. Oh brother. I don't have anymore EGO batts.
