clearo from my ego kit leaked onto my ego c-twist! help!?

[ScarletStorm]

Last week I ordered a starter set, an extra battery, and liquids from panda ecigs, my first vape setup.

I got my package yesterday, and everything was fine. I was using both clearomizers from my joy ego kit with the included batteries with no problems. I filled it properly and made sure there was no liquid and everything was put back together right. When I switched one of the clearomizers to my ego c-twist that I also received, everything was working fine until about 20 minutes ago when it just stopped working. The LED on my battery will only flash when I press it and I am not getting any vapor. I saw that there was just a pool of liquid in the battery connector, and nowhere else. I cleaned it off thoroughly with paper towel and a qtip, and I tried charging the ego twist but it won't charge either, but my other batteries will. Is there anything I can do to fix the battery?

I have got my eGo Twist batteries wet numerous times and not had this problem. Flashing means the battery needs to be charged. You tried that and it didn't work.

Flashing also means it sees a short. After that it needs to be put back on the charger for a few seconds to clear the error.

Clean it again with a Q-tip soaked with alcohol and let it dry. Put it on the charger for 30 seconds and try it with the other clearo. The battery could be completely charged but the bad clearo has a short and this is tripping the battery protection. If it now works, toss the bad clearo. If the battery still flashes, I think it has a problem and I would not continue to mess with it. Repeating the same thing over again will not change the outcome, but could get dangerous.

Let us know what happens.

That was good advise for me also - thanks

Another thing that can cause the flashing light issue you described is the floating center pin on the battery getting stuck in the mashed down position. With it switched off, use a qtip or paper clip to wiggle the sides of the pin inside the connection to make sure it's all the way up.

One more thing to remember is to UNPLUG and clean your charger's contact every once in a while. It gets gunked up as well.

just to add to the already great advice
sounds to me that maybe you screwed your topper tank on to tight / to far
just screw it on lightly until it makes contact
keeps from pushing your battery center pin down...
