Maybe not the place to make jokes at the OP's expense, as you can see they joined today and are posting w/a problem.

To a new vaper having a battery work or not work may actually mean the difference between them going back to smoking or switching to vaping.


I just bought this new vapros stylish e vape and it only seems to work when it wants to, when it does work the ring lights up solid blue but 95% of the time when I hold it it flashes white green and red, ... is going on its pissing me off

Hi Joe, I am not familiar with THAT particular Vision battery but I have used Vision Spinner batts for 3 years on and off so I can tell you a few things. The one you got is a sub brand of vision but very similar to the Spinner 2.

Flashing and not heating a coil / clearo is usually *charging related.* i.e. battery does not have a full charge.

did you receive a charging cable with the product? Most of the vision type batts have a deeper connector on the battery so a shallow usb connector sometimes doesn't "hit" right......does the connector on your USB "stick out" a little bit from the rubber casing?

You know bro I don't want to sound mean or cruel but those vape pens are a waste of money..I. if you're really serious about vaping I would look at a mod with a replaceable battery in it, such as the IPVD2 or Evic Mini...about $50-$60 online..maybe even cheaper these days...good luck fixing your pen..

You know, I REALLY don't know what is happening to these topics in New Members.:(

The OP joined today and is having a problem with a battery / setup he bought. He has just spent money and wants it to work, and is asking for help.

Some of you don't realize that back in 2011 or 2012, we quit smoking and started vaping on WAY LESS and MUCH WORSE stuff.

IMHO, it is appropriate to HELP the new member with the question asked......not start suggesting that they purchase products or give your opinion on the product they DID purchase.

This doesn't help. And, for the years I've been here, this kind of postings is something new, and quite annoying, if you don't mind my saying so!!!!!!!!

Help this newbie work w/what they have! So far he has received jokes and suggestion to toss what he bought. If you think this helps then I don't know what to say. :( Sheesh

I just did some nice clouds off of it, it only works after I fidget around with it (if that's a word), I don't think it would be the cool because it wouldn't be working at all, and it has a decent charge on it blue ring means 30-60% charge, it did come with a charger in the case, the connector on the charger is flush with the threads. Thanks Racehorse for taking me seriously it means a lot, I paid $72 total for this thing and I expect it to work

yeah, gandy, I think we are on the same page that something not quite right is happening during the charge.

You have every right to the expectation of this working well for you, whether you spent $25 or $75. Thousands of people are using spinner type batteries and are very pleased with them.

Iit did come with a charger in the case, the connector on the charger is flush with the threads.

Well there is a long history of people having problems with the usb chargers that comes w/Spinners. Many have had more luck w/generic chargers. In my experience, the ones where the usb silver connector sticks out further, and makes better contact w/the battery.

It is possible that your spinner isn't actually finishing charging, even if it shows green when supposedly done charging. Does it turn red when you put on charger at beginnning?

.... I hope not I just got this a couple hours ago I payed over $70 for it

Joe did you get at B*M and can they help you/stand behind their product?

Since you say it is working when "you fiddle" with it, it is possible your atomizer is not conneccting to bat or coil is not screwed in tight or is not good.

What kinda clearomizer did they give you for top of it or is this some kinda "kit"?

You can crop your pictures in your picture folder or download a free photo editing app if you don't already have one. It sounds to me like 1 of 2 things and that would be the afore mentioned battery charge or your atomizer not making a good connection to your 510 connection. You can try prying up the center of the 510 pin gently with a toothpick to try and get a better connection to your atomizer or you can take it back where you got it and see if they will replace it. Since you say you paid over $70, I am assuming you got it from a local store and they should be able to either help you with fixing the problem or give you a new battery. Good Luck

the girl told me it is a great starting kit, the top part that screws onto the battery I think is called an Atlantis tank???

The part that connects to the spinner battery is called aspire k1, the girl at a local shop said this is an excellent beginner e vape.... I have a feeling it a bad connection if I have to keep messing with it, it just works when I want to:(

Well it really IS an excellent beginner vape, it gets fantastic reviews just about everywhere. :)

I am unclear whether you have an Atlantis tank or an Aspire K1 tank on your pretty new battery, but either way, don't over-tighten it to the battery and don't under-tighten it either.

If you have to fiddle with it to get it to connect and produce vapor, then there is something wonky going on and I would really suggest taking it to them to "see"

I don't need a photo since this is what ya got:

But if you ever want to post one you can upload your photo to tinypic or photobucket or some other hosting site and then post the link here. :).
