Certain tanks not working on my new ego twist

[Kaendar]

Bought a brand new Ego twist today. The guy threw in 4 tanks or whatever they are called with the kit. Only of them works. The other 3 make the light flash blue/red on the battery, and dont produce any vapor. The one that does work shows a solid color on the battery, and well, works fine. Any reason for this? They all twist on and the guy said they are universal.

I have never seen this happen, with the lights on my ego, unless the battery was low. But when the battery is low it won't light up at all anymore.
I don't think I've ever had trouble with anything not working on my ego twist. Sounds like a fluke, you might make sure everything is screwed on right. Possible short on the tank? I really can't help much.

I dont know what to think at this point, which is why I came here looking for answers

I'm sure someone with more knowledge will come a long soon.

What did the vendor give you as far as clearomizers? A pic would help us identify the type of clearo you're using and allow us to provide you with possible fix actions.

Try the battery without a tank on it, and make sure the light stays lit with button pressed. If it does then your battery itself is good.

I've never bothered to learn battery "flashy flash flash" language but it's telling you there's a problem. Probably that there's a short. Try unscrewing the head a bit and see if it helps.

it could be a short? if the conector on the tank is messed up it could be causing a short. look to see if the center of the conector on the tank is straight. it could be coming into contact with the terminal around it

Yea I agree with the possibly of it being a short. Like others have said test the battery without the tank, but the battery is 99.9% probably not the problem seeing how it works fine with one of your tanks.

Make sure the center pin in the bottom of the tanks are straight and not pointing in any direction because it could make contact with the ground, which would be the threads ect, and make sure the center pin is making contact. If not take a small jeweler's flat head screw driver and lift the center pin slightly.

Or it cud be the ego +ve post has gone deep inside and torn out the insulator. Check the insulator.
Last time, what i did was i pulled out gently the +ve post of the ego ( do it gently bcoz it is soldered with wire ) wrapped it with teflon tape and put it back.

Make sure you purchased a legitimate Ego Twist, a buddy of mine bought one from a local smoke shop, the owner also "threw in" a bunch of cheapo $2 clearomizers. We compared it to three others and the quality was WAAAAAAAAY off par with the rest. Definitive fake that exhibited problems similar to yours. Not trying to scare you, but something to consider.

Good luck
