1100 mah eGo-T Battery not working after plugging into laptop

Ok, last night I hooked up my battery to my laptop to charge. I only let it charge for about an hour and then had to leave so I took it with me and then noticed that it wasn't vapping. Whenever nothing is screwed to the battery the light stays blue. When I screw on the atomizer the light turns off, and when I hit the button it will flash 3 times and that's it. It does the same thing even if I plug it into the charger. I took it back to the store about an hour ago and they gave me a new one. It didn't have a charge so I plugged it into my laptop for about 30 minutes and took it off to test and now it does the exact same thing that the last one is doing.

Some laptop USB ports are overpowered. Apple Macbooks are the worst. They run higher voltages to charge iPads as they require more.

Sounds like your atomizer may be shorted or you laptop is destroying the batteries.

You are either causing damage to the battery due to the improper output of the USB, or its entirely possible you are over-tightening the battery on the charger, causing the contact to become pushed down.

Try the fix below, if it works, then your are over-tightening. If not its likely the power-source/charger.

Or maybe it didnt charge it at all. I know that has happened to myself.
