Well I had a tragic loss of my good battery last weekend and now i'm stuck with this one that had been acting up for a few day before the loss. I checked it on both atomizer I had and it would blink for about 10 seconds like it needed to be charged. I charged it for another 3 hours to make sure (the light on the charger remained green the entire time) as soon as I attach it to an atomizer and inhale, it starts blinking. once or twice I have gotten vapor but I've been at this for 2 days now. It has been dropped a few times which I fear maybe be the issue here. T_T it's my last battery and I'm not in the mood to spend more money on parts >.>; is there anyway to fix it?

Sometimes the charger and batteries don't connect well - and if it's not connected, it'll stay green and won't charge. First, see if there's any gunk in your battery and charger and see if you can clean that off. Then plug the battery into the charger, and gently twist around til it's a tight fit. If you see the red light coming on and stays on - you've done it right.

Same thing happened to my 801 battery - the charger light was green as soon as I plugged in, but it wasn't charging at all. I tried above method (I was carrying my battery in my jacket pocket - and you know from the analog days, it had some crums off analogs in my pocket and it gunked up the battery. (Yuck)

Try this at at your own risk Myra but it worked for me!
I know it sounds crude but give it a whack (not too hard) on a table and blow throw the atomiser end of the battery a couple of times, you should hear the pressure switch popping. Give it another whack and charge for 8 hours. This should only be attempted as a last resort before binning. If it doesn`t work then you`ve probably a bad battery. Most suppliers offer a limited warranty on batteries and atomisers so it could be worth looking in to if it`s fairly new.
As lachesis said, check all connections are clean and true as chargers tend to be a bit finnicky

Hope this helps :)
