Bad luck? Or doing something wrong?

Hm, got one of these too ...
I refer to them as evod-type because the fire button is flush with the casing. Charging 'behaviour' is different. Guess it depends on the type of charger and circuitry built into the battery : While charging some, LED on the charge switches from red to green with increasing frequency till it stays at a steady green to indicate ist fully charged. Other batteries just squat there for an eternity ( at least it feels to me like that if haven't got anything else charges up to vape ) and switch from a steady red to a steady green...
Make sure the fire button blinks three times when hooked up to the charger. Some of mine are pretty worn and I do have to unscrew or rescrew them more than once to make proper contact for charging.
That's why I believe most vaping gear is female ... sometimes as finicky as a lady in front of a mirror in a fashion shop.. </flameproofsuit on>

i like Electronic Cigarette | E Cig Liquid | E Juice - Totally Wicked
they have genuine products from some of the industry leading manufactures, Joyetech, Boge, SmokTech, TECC. to name a few.
they like to "rebrand" and put there logo on stuff... i dont really care as long as the stuff is quality. you will pay a bit more with totally wicked but its totally worth it. i have ordered a few things from them that went bad and they replaced it free of charge (most things they sell have a 30 day warranty) there customer service is top notch. been shopping there for years and don't plan on stopping.
What type of tank are you using?? is it the same tank that is being used on all of these battery failures? if it is, I would start looking into the tank as being the problem....
Ok - that's the right charger dongle - but that's only part of the story.
What about the AC to USB adapter you are plugging it into? That should have a small ratings sticker on it as well. It should read INPUT 120 VAC. There have been batches of European AC to USB adapters popping up in the US, designed for operating on 230 volts with the ratings plate stating the incorrect (for us anyway...) 230 volt AC input.
I just got a new Evod battery yesterday and was already using Evod tanks, But also got another new evod tank too so it would match the battery color...anyway, I am finding that even though I don't tighten it very much...I can hit it for a few minutes and then all of a sudden I get NOTHING and have to unscrew it just a bit to get it to start vaping again. Not sure what is causing this, but could that be what is happening with yours? Have you tried loosening it a bit to see if it works then? I have to have mine really loose.
Hey everyone. Couldn't sleep so I decided to update. I found some tweezers and got the 900 working just fine. Just brought the pin up a bit, guess I'll be bringing tweezers with me everywhere now. As for the tank I'm using, it is supposedly a T3S Pyrex but I've been told it's a fake... So idk...
I did randomly discover that loosening the battery worked to an extent. But mostly it would just die after a few puffs anyway. The Smok/evod whatever battery I have is working fine now, though, so I imagine I will be trashing the others.
I have two tanks, same model, one lost some o-rings so I switched to the other. But my friend was getting the same results when using my batteries on his tanks.
As far as liquids go, a local shop owner mixes his own juice and it's really good. I've actually sat and watched him make several flavors so I'd like to support him whenever possible. Mainly because it is right by where I work and it's cheap xD.
I really do appreciate everyone's help. I wasn't able to get any nicotine at all until about an hour ago, so I was a little... Agitated... Lol but I should be good for a little while. Thanks guys!

hey man if the price is right then its all good. but if your paying more than like $8-$10 for clone eGo batteries then its time to think about shopping around.
I noticed that the pic of the battery you put up is an evod style battery (fire button further down the body rather than closer to the collar). I had a problem with some taking a charge recently and found that I had the wrong charger even though it was sold as an 510/ego/evod charger. Do you have the charger that has what looks like a female type, metal connection post inside of black plastic outer collar? That outer collar will not allow the battery to screw on deep enough to hold a connection for charging. You need the charger that has just the metal 510 post without that collar.
