Don't sweat it man. Happens to everyone. As long as you don't go back permanently to the old ways you're doing real good.
Anybody have trouble with ego battery/charger?

I also posted on the LF sub forum so maybe I will have some answers when I get home tonight from work.
Have you tried cleaning the connections to the battery and charger (where they screw together)? Get a paper towel (or q-tip) and dab a little alcohol on it and swab both connections and try again.
Good luck

Well have to keep in mind occasionally someone ends up with something that doesn't work right.
Doesn't make one feel any better but you're not the only one for sure.

I had one that was a real pain like that also. It ended up being a problem with one (knock off) battery not making proper contact with one particular charger. After I bought another charger that finicky battery charged on the new charger. That was the only battery that gave me a problem with that charger. I don't know if you mentioned it but do you have more than one ego battery? Does this problem happen with all of your batts?

I don't think this is a mass production problem. With the amount of this product being produced, your bound to get a bad one now and then.
The best solution to make sure you have a backup plan in place in the event that disaster does strike. This could mean having and extra charger and battery around, networking with some vapors in your area that have backups of their own that they could lend out and/or finding out is you have any local suppliers. In your case, I see you are in IL - I posted a link in this thread a few posts ago for Pilot Travel Centers - apparently they carry Njoy products although since I don't have any near me (that I'm aware of) I don't know what they have to offer or prices.
In my opinion, the most important thing is to order from a reputable vendor with a good warranty. I have been ordering from Liberty-flights.com lately and have had good luck with them. They offer a 6 month guarantee on their batteries v. 14 days others offer.

Im actually having pretty much the exact same issue but for me it appears the problem is the brand new battery i just got yesterday cuz my old battery works fine
I have yet to have trouble with a usb charger or battery. The only thing I noticed once is that i had to make sure I was screwing it on tight enough.
Yeah i personally tried loosening it, tightening it, cleaning it, etc
I have the same problem as well. I ended up taking the USB and plugging it into my computer instead of using the wall adapter. It worked great then.
It's definitely bigger than the normal 1-5 per hundred units (guessing) fault rate - perhaps not a mass production issue but definitely a large, bad batch.
Same exact problem here. Two of my friends ordered at the same time and one also has the exact problem, the other has the same issue sometimes but other times his batteries are charging fine. Another forum I frequent has 3 people with the same problem - not sure how many people are having problems here but it seems like at least 2-3 and probably more to come.
We ordered from healthcabin and while service has been good, I had to send back the two batteries and charger which cost me $15 (just for my unit, not including friends) They have already dispatched my replacement order (without waiting for the faulty ones to arrive) which is the best service I could hope for....but waiting for my replacements from china will probably take a month or so, bit of a bummer but these things happen.
If anyone is thinking of ordering an ego, stay away from the large/high turnover shops for a week or two. Smaller, local based shops should be OK since they'll most likely have older stock, but they may have problems in the coming weeks/months as this bad batch trickles down the line.
I'd recommend health cabin despite this problem...very tricky to catch these kinds of things when you're moving so much stock. But - if you do go with them make sure you have backup, postage usually takes a week but can take up to a month with china registered post.
They have a 6 month warranty on batteries and atomizers which is great if you're making bigger orders. Good prices also. Order twenty attys, I'd say at least 10 would fail in 6 months - send them back all at once - get 10 new ones
