can anyone help with this issue?

[BuzzKillBob]

i noticed some juice had gotten next to the prong in my battery so i tried to gently clean it with a q-tip,when the rubber o-ring popped out...now,with a tank on it, the light stays a dim blue until i unscrew it and it never will fire the coil... its a small 650mah ego batt that i got with my $50 starter kit... i will post pics if needed but i figured you guys are smart enough about this to not need one... any info would be of help

this is a short video i made explaining it...

Did you put the o-ring back?

 

[BuzzKillBob]

i cant get the o-ring to stay in place...i get one side on and the other side comes off...re-check my op for a crappy video i made showing it in detail...

 

[bacc.vap]

Could you stretch the ring over something, like maybe a pencil or something like that, then put it down in there and push it off evenly. Maybe take another o-ring you might have around the house, like the regular black ones, and cut it to fit.

I was going to suggest cutting it once and then wrapping it underneath the center post of the battery. If you can't get it to fit correctly, you might want to try gently prying up the center post of your battery with a paperclip or small screwdriver. Remember, be gentle and you can lift it up enough to get the O ring back underneath.

It won't work without it.

obviously when you screw clearo on it makes a short (light flashes)

suggest a couple of toothpicks
dry wood won't short or harm

5 clk battery off

lay oring down on top, then toothpick on either side
try and capture an edge of oring underneath the rim of center post
run around the groove...

find something to hold oring (once you get an edge underneath)
and fanaggle it around - should kinda snap in
then finish poking it in with toothpick...

tried that...couldnt get it to work... tried raising the center post...i got that to work but it has no effect on the issue

Once you loose that insulating rubber gromet...shorting the center positive post to the negative outer housing you are pretty much hosed

Since the 510/eGo connector on many of these things are practically universal...I think this might help

 

[pufZeppelin]

well you'll have to try harder because that's all that will fix it

it has to be isolated (POS from NEG)

how in the world did it ever come out ?

did you try a little juice as lube ?

try like others said, look around your house for that something
JUST the right size to fit in with oring around it, then slide/roll it off

pen pencil drill bit shank straw wittle a piece of wood

 

[BuzzKillBob]

i was able to fashion a small round piece,just the right size out of a paperclip... finally got it back on and now my backup battery is functional again could i somehow glue this thing in so it wont happen again or would that short the connection perm?

I am sure you could superglue it. I WOULD NOT SUGGEST IT! The possibility of getting superglue to cover the positive pin would be very good. Then your working backup just went right back to broken.

put a spare tank on it to test it for about an hour and all was good till i took it off to charge it and the o-ring came right back off... getting ill at it and thinking bout throwing it away and buying a new one now...

If you do buy something else or joyetech ego c twist (the one you have is most likely a copy/clone). This is where I bought mine 9 months ago and they are still working fine. Joyetech Joye eGo-C Twist Variable Voltage 1000mAh Battery

They are genuine oem partners and have their logo on the bottom (for return purposes MVS). You might find a coupon for them here and they have starter kits as well. Surevapes.com has them as well with free shipping in US over $10 so it may end up cheaper.

I do notice at 9 months they are starting to die slightly faster than they did before. But I'm hard on my stuff and after grabbing a mod I just use them mostly as backup or easy to carry when out of the house vape device. Good luck.

Glad you got it fixed I used a drill bit just a shade bigger than the firing pin and slid it off the drill bit in to place with some tweezers for a friend having the same issue once. Obliviously I used the smooth end of the drill bit.
