Battery dead?

[MadPonySkillz]

Hello!

So im a new to this forum and i couldn´t post this story under battery issues... Few days ago i bought myself a eGo T with CE4.
Now i am having problems with it, when i screw the battery to the clearomizer and start to vaping my battery just flashes 10 times, when i screw it off the clearomizer then it flashes normally like i would vape. I have tried charging the battery and still not working?
What to do?

Sorry im bad at english
And dont know if its good section to post this, maybe some moderator can move this if this is not good section.

Sounds like your atomizer has a short in it, I have a ego and thats what it does when I either have to low of resistance or a short circuit in my atty

 

[arilen]

If you have a multimeter check the resistance of the ce4, if it is below 1.0 ohms I don't think the ego will fire, I don't recommend any thing below 1.5 ohms for a ego. If it's shorted out I would take it back to where ever you bought it and see if they will replace it.

Hi MadPonySkillz and welcome to ECF! I agree, it sounds like your CE4 has a low resistance issue. What resistance was it to start with? Anything less than 1.8 ohms nominal may give you trouble if it goes lower than say 1.5 ohms. Best of luck with it

How can i check the resistance?
This is weird because when in put the clearomizer on it start blinking but when i dont put it on it will light up normally...

I've been amassing an eGo-T clone army to leave around at work, etc., and it seems that some of them can't handle even the 1.8 ohm T3s coils for more than a few hits if at all (10 blinks as per OP). Pretty appalling QC, but then again I did get some of these for as low as 11 bucks and the original VV eGos I have at home have not been giving me any problems at all.

If you do have a 2.2 ohm coil lying around, give that a spin and see if it acts up.

Take a digital multimeter and check the resistance with it. Here is a video of how to use one

Okey i have a multimeter but what part do i need to check?
Do i need to check the battery or clearomiser,coil,bottom basis?

Resistance of the clearo. Have a look at the video I posted a link to. If pics are worth a thousand words, vids are worth 10 thousand

No problem. Your English is very good!

ETA: Did you have a look at the video?

10 flash blink code from an ego is the protection circuit shutting down the battery. Can happen when you exceed the 10 second vape limit, and when a short is detected too. Depends on the blink code for your specific ego style battery. Not all the same. Do you have another atomizer that you can test on it? Make sure you don't over tighten it, can bend and short out the coil.

Hmm WarHawk i dont think it is battery issue because when i bought it it worked some hours and then just stopped
If i dont have my clearomizer screwed on this battery button works normally like i would vape but when i screw the clearomizer on it starts blinking when i start to vape
I haven´t done the ryedan method yet, there are some pictures if they help you helping me

 

[MadPonySkillz]

And more weirder thing is that when i bought it i could vape some time, THEN it sropped working
If i buy new clearomizer will it fix this problem?
