What charger do you have?

What "everything" have you tried?

You may or may not need a new charger, but saying "the light is blinking, help" pretty much without more details and then saying "I've tried everything, I need to buy a new charger." Again without info is going to make it very hard for anyone to help answer your question.

I'm not saying you don't need a new charger either, but I have generally found the "collective knowledge" of ECF to sometimes be of more use than "Here is no information please help." While ECF is pretty awesome there aren't any mind readers (that I know of) so really in case you don't need a new charger, tell us what you have, what went wrong, and what you've tried. Worst case, well, you'll know you need a new charger, best case, someone might have a simple fix for you.

Good luck, but do give more info if you can. Etc.

My charger light keeps blinking and I don't know why, has this happened to anyone else?
Since you appear to be new to vaping (first ever post), I'm going to make a wild guess that you are using an Ego-style battery setup and an Ego-style charger. Does your charger look like the device on the right in this pic?

If so, the blinking light on the charger may indicate an electrical connection malfunction. Quite often, the "center pin" of either the battery itself or the charger inadvertantly gets over-tightened and gets pushed inside too far to make contact with the other device. It's not difficult to fix this problem (see below video).



Also, what are you plugging your charger into? Wall outlet battery wort or your computer's USB port? I do not recommend using your computer's USB port. The power output of various computer USB ports can vary greatly, and should either the battery or charger short out, it could then ruin your computer, too. Best to use a dedicated EGO USB wall adaptor plug connected into a wall outlet like the one in the above pic.
