3 joyetech e--go t batteries died at the same time

[swedishfish]

Like mwa said, I have about 4-5 chargers and I mark one for each battery. I have the ego charger, vv ego charger, echo-e charger and 510 charger.

It just seems so odd that three batteries all died at the exact same time. Are they still under warranty? Where did you get them? All of my ego batteries have lasted 6+ months with the exception of the batteries I got at Mad Vapes.

Try cleaning it really good with iso alcohol with a q-tip and wooden toothpick all round the connection.

Just short of 4 weeks

If these batteries are less than 4 weeks old then they might be under warranty..I would get in touch with the place you got them at and see what they will do..maybe they will know what the issue is or replace them..good luck

I'm afraid I'll have to get new batteries...I will try taking one apart and seeing if I can solder it--or if I can even get it apart. I seem to be hard on batteries. When I used to use the e-cigs that look like cigarettes, I ran through them really fast and gave it up for awhile--too expensive. They've improved a lot since then, but are still not coyotech proof.

coyotech, these are sealed Batts for the most part, a little juice shouldnt kill them if it gets into the bottom part of the connection just do like you are and clean them out and keep them clean. The continuous white flash is probably meaning a dead batt and the Mosfet connection has come apart. Sometimes you can actually tap them against a table and it will then work again but not for long, I've also had this happen and done this, as well as taken many of them apart and fixed them by re-soldering the connections. Best thing like I was saying is to keep rotating like you said you where, every couple of vapes pick up the other batt and use it when running LR stuff, if not it really shouldn't matter, the LR stuff draws more amperage and puts more stress on the batts heating them and the connections up more. Batts are Batts like any other and can go and will go at the oddest times, thank god there cheap enough to replace easily so you can keep vaping

t is crazy how the chargers are all different for the same type of internal Batt, most likely because of the different chip used I guess. I still have some original Ego Batts that are almost 3yrs old that still work great, then I have other new ones that lasted a week, again it is a Batt is a Batt is a Batt like a Duracell it could last for a week or a year everyone has a life of there own it seems, one thing for sure though, the white light flash is a dead Mosfet connection

Pretty funny coyotech, try the higher mAh Batts I think you will enjoy them more and they may be more coyotech friendly ;-)

Haploe, there are different types of AC-USB converters, the one your using is not for the chargers we use, there is a small difference in the USB type connector, make sure you get one of the correct types they work very well if you have the right one, you may be able to return the one you got and exchange it for the different type that will work depending on where you got it, it's just the small internal plastic piece that is different n some of them.

This is the USB plug and AC wall converter that came with the 510 mega kit I bought. It work fine the first time I used it. Green light on the USB end didn't turn green till a few hours later. I went to use it the other night and as i said the light immediately turned green tried a second battery and it turned green a few minutes later. Sp leads me to believe that the AC converter went bad that fast since it work to begin with.

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread.

 

[coyotech]

Are they 650 mAh Batts ? I find the 900mAh ones last and work much better, you may want to try the 900-1100mAh next time you buy some, just a thought

I believe they are 650. That's probably a good idea to try the bigger ones.

 

[jslick_007]

Are these genuine Joyetech's or knockoffs? And where were they bought? Just curious as I have to buy more batts soon...

Yeah it's weird to me too it's almost impossible for 3 to have failed on the same day..probably about the odds of winning the lotto 2x in a row..they don't flash without an atomizer so they are not dead and they were showing voltage.

I've got 3 eGo Smok Tech's from MadVapes and they are almost 6 months old showing no signs of slowing down..3.7v off a fresh charge and I only charge one a day usually.

From what people have been saying, it sounds like the charger can be a weak point. That sometimes happened with me along the way--before the batteries gave out--and I took it to mean they just didn't need a charge. Other times they would charge for a long time with the red light, and the green light flickering sometimes. But the batteries would work like normal when I took them off. But your batteries aren't coming out charged?

I did try the cleaning with a toothpick. I actually poured some alcohol in the top and let it sit for awhile after trying to pull the middle pin out. Then I did the toothpick trick after dumping the alcohol. Maybe worth trying again, since there was junk in there.

I think my MV batteries didn't last because they constantly needed to be adjusted. They lasted about 3 months or so and both died within a couple weeks of each other. Even so, you figure each battery cost me about $5 a month so I'm not complaining really.

 

[araczynski]

i just bought a new set of ego 1100mah's from tomsvapor.com and a charger, exactly the same as the ones i had. the charger fried both of my original ego batteries, but didnt' seem to the new ones... not helping you, i know, but also keep scratching my head as to what could've happened.

i have been using 1.5DC cartos on the existing egoT batts, but no reason the new charger should do anythign different to them than the old one, same voltage/current specs...

 

[Bawn]

Did you try a new cart/atomizer in them? BTW my Smok Tech eGo's read 3.7v under a full charge just for a reference it should be somewhere near that..could be as low as maybe 3.5v though with different brands...

Also I would just have someone check them out in case it's something you missed..good luck

my ego 1100mah read 3.9 with no load.

Pretty good deal..if I needed batteries I might buy some..they don't state there shipping it is posted as variable for 1st class and $5.95 priority..shipping always worry's me when rates are not listed clearly because some sites make there money by charging high shipping...

No the last time I used the converter, they didn't come out charged, So I plugged them back in to the USB port on the computer and they charged just like they should. Unfortunatly they bother we dead so had to leave them on for 5 hours to fully charge.

That is a good deal on those 1100mAh Batts for $13, I have about 20 of them or I would buy a pair. Remember also, if an LR Atty happens to be really LR LIKE 1.4 and the resistance Drops to say 1.1-1.2 it can fry a Batt in a flash at times.

 

[coyotech]

I started using the smokymizer CE3 a couple of days before this happened. Maybe there was a mis-match there...? It seemed to work really well, but maybe the resistance thing that others brought up was a factor in their simultaneous early death. They did get hot pretty often...

These came from Rt. 66 vapor store in Rio Rancho NM. The batteries are stock e-go t batteries, and the stock chargers that came with the kit. Also stock atomizers, except for the switch to the smokymizer. I'll run them up there tomorrow and see what happens.
