Last night I had 3 joyetech e-go T's that were all working fine. I used them with a drip tip and then started with a cartomizer a couple of days ago. This morning I got up and all three batteries are gone! They blink a little, but none can make smoke. I wiped off the connection surfaces with alcohol and cleaned all the atomizers, and no luck. They all show charged if you put them in the charger. Two are rechargeable and one is a USB passthrough. Does anybody know what might've caused it, or if there's a way to get them going again?

Are you sure it isn't your charger. I've had USB chargers die on me fairly frequently.
You could try to adjust your battery. Get a small screwdriver and try to raise the center button on the battery a tiny bit to make sure it's making contact with the charger.

What ohm attys and cartos are you using? Too low of an ohm can fry the eGo mosfet, but I think it's very unlikely that 3 would fry at the same time.
Do they light up when you push the button? It could be that the center pin was pushed in and they arnt making a connection anymore. Screwing on an atty or carto too tight can push the pin. You want to screw them on just enough to make a connection. Try carefully pulling the pin back out and see if that helps.

They're blinking, like they do when they're running low and need to be recharged. I thought of the charger, but it's not that. The USB and the power charged ones all quit and show green. A different battery with the atomizer works OK. I'll try raising the button like you both suggested. Maybe I was screwing them together too tight...
Try cleaning the connection on the charger and the batteries then try charging one..sometimes if that is dirty it will show green and it's not charging. Also pulling up on the pin on the battery might help too as was suggested. Otherwise maybe it's your charger maybe..all 3 not charged and only 1 charger? if that's the case it almost has to be the charger in some way..not likely for 3 batteries to die all at once..probably more likely to win the lotto lol. I've had chargers show green and not charge a battery before..then charged it on another and it was fine...
So far raising the button hasn't helped--maybe I'm being too timid. I'll try it some more. Sometimes the juice leaked out of the bottom of the atomizer all over the battery. I'd daub out the top of the battery and wipe it off. I started screwing them together tighter because of that. Is it possible it got gummed up in there because of the juice? Is it possible to clean the battery with alcohol without wrecking it?
Sometimes the center connection on the atty gets pushed too far in & can be pulled out w/ a bent paperclip about 1/8" through the center hole.
You need more than 1 atty. It's extremely unlikely 3 Joye batteries quit at once!

It's not the battery charger...the problem is both with the USB and the chargeable battery, and trying it on a charger that definitely works, it still shows green. Still working on the pin theory
I have a charger that shows green but doesn't charge..but it you tap it it goes red and when it's red it charges..so green can be a bad charger..also no connection is a charging issue and the chargers show green with no connection..the only ways I would think you would lose 3 eGo's at once would be an EMP or all 3 plugged into a charger and lightning struck. Plus I doubt it would be the pins ion all 3 batteries. I would inspect your charger very closely.
IDK what you mean by both with the USB and chargeable battery..if you have a multimeter you could test the charger to make sure also..these chargers are produced very inexpensively and the "nut" inside has a tendency to move and spin breaking the wires but the charger will still show green in that case also.
just under 4 weeks. Sorry, it looks like I'm replying to my comment instead of everybody's suggestions, so they aren't coming in order.
Has to be some kind of connection issue somewhere..because even if the batteries died the charger would go red and try to charge it..connection issue can mean a lot of things like the center pin not connecting or broken wires ect... and if they flash that means the batterys still have some voltage in them also and the ciruit is working. Have you tried cleaning the charger and a battery then charging one of the dead batteries again and if so was it still green?
Edit: Another question is does the light flash or go solid when you push the buttons on the dead batteries without any cart/atomizer in them?

No, different charger for those, although those will charge on this charger. My batteries show kind of low with the volt meter, which makes sense if the center button on the battery isn't making contact. I did the same on one of the attys, with the center button, but they were working on one of my husband's batteries.
The dead batteries are showing voltage when the light is flashing or is the light not flashing when you test it on the multimeter/voltmeter? I've never tested a flashing battery but it shouldn't put out volts when flashing...
