Since I cannot post elsewhere yet, I thought this may be helpful to some others.
I recently bought a starter kit. It included a "joyetech USB Charger" / "Model: eGo USB Charger" (on back).
More recently purchased a new Vision Spinner (650) battery. ('2013' is imprinted/Chrome).
Today, the spinner finally ran out. I tried charging it and was pulling out my hair: I kept reading on this site the light should come on/etc. It was not. The 1000mA batteries (not spinners/VV) I originally received charge fine. (And you have to tighten them all the way for it to charge. Like you would assume.)
After messing around with connection for about an hour I finally figured out it would charge if i didn't screw the spinner down all the way (RELIEF!
It's the only charger I have ATM). Worked by only screwing it down by about 2/3rds of the way of total possible.
Apparently, the contact points break enough if it goes beyond a certain point. (I was definitely *not* over-tightening to begin with). Anyway, I hope this helps anyone else who may have similar issue. Strangely, not tightening at all it did the trick. (with my spinner anyway).
