did i just blowout my batteries?

[ingerri]

ok so just built a new coil on head(have been doing this for a while) checked it on an ohms meter, said it was good. put it on my battery and got one blink. I new it was about time to recharge, so put on fresh battery and again got one blink...now neither battery works. did I just blowout 2 fairly new batteries?

t3 head, ego batteries

With the joye ego sometimes I've had the case where (usually three blinks on short protection) you can do the 5 click trick on/off and all is well OR put it back on the charger for a minute - however, I wouldn't use that particular coil again IF it's knocking the batts out. Use another regular atty/clearo to check. Maybe there's a wire out of place on the rebuild that is short circuiting... And if no go, since you just got the batts, contact vendor for a return soon.

I have the one that I knew was almost out of charge on charger, the other one wont do anything(nothing happens when pushing button, even the 5 click trick) and yes ripped the coil out and tossed it. they are over the 30 days vendor return.

If they're Joyetech - they offer a 6 month warranty but you'll have to pay shipping to china - usually the vendor has the info for doing that but you may want to contact joyetech directly. Do the 5 click as rapidly as possible just to check again... or if you have a multimeter you could check that way as well.

Yet another reason for BYOB. ("buy your own batteries" get a mod and ditch the sealed/fixed battery type devices). They've become so cheap it's a no-brainer.

what is a good inexpensive mod? what do I need to get with it? anything ego sized? ive been using only egos since I started vapeing a year and a half ago and have really liked them

If they are Li-Ion protected Batteries you tripped the protection circuit. On some Li-Ions you can rest the circuit, but I can't remember off the top of my head how to do it. Google it.

If you really like the egos, like I do, maybe try the Joye Upgrade series. They have a resettable short circuit protection that might've worked well in this case.

They are also switchable between 3.4 and 3.7 volts to vape cooler or hotter when wanted.

Also remember not to overtighten your clearos- even a good one will make the battery short out if tightened down too hard.

I use Passthroughs and get them at Cignot .com.

Egos work very, very well if you get good quality ones and treat them well.

 

[ingerri]

no I don't overtighten them. like I said ive been rebuilding coils for a while and ALWAYS check them on my ohms tester. this one tested 2.4 as usual so I don't know what happened. if it wasn't done correctly it would show 1 which usually mean a short(know this from when I first started rebuilding)

i *think* you just put them in a charger to clear them

thx will def try that. no money in vape budget right now maybe have to check into a mod when I go back to work(im a school bus driver )

I tried it and they work, so far so good! thx so much

Groovy. Like happy endings! Great job dwallen!.

Personally, I didn't know the non-Joye egos were capable of doing that.

Still, you have an ongoing problem yet with your clearo.?

they are real joyetech and tossed the coil, still don't get what happened, ive rebuild over 50 coils and never had problem. but doing the happy dance thanks to dwallen

Most mods will be larger than an ego... it's usually ego-ego vv-mod

I just picked up a vamo v3.. with two batteries and a charger, $80. Which is about as cheap you'll see for an APV. I hope it works out well... Everyone seems to think highly of both the unit and it's price

Just a quick note. Like I said earlier, doing the 5 click on/off can work or just putting them back on the charger for a minute or so... but it is likely that you've blown the short protection on that battery. It will work until there's another short. The charge protection if blown kills the battery. The short protection will 'wound' the battery one time then kill it a second time. At least that has been my experience with two eGo's now that were shorted out by vision stardusts......

Hi guys, I had the same problem, but since I live in Dubai and e cigs are banned here, I had to get quite creative to fix that problem. Until my friend from the States will come and bring me my vapeonly vpower vPower Kit I have to help myself like this. I also have a usb car charger, so that i can vape while driving.

I know it is not the prettiest solution, but I have barely any tools here.
