ego battery just decided not to fire stardust anymore?

[AinSophAur]

My eGo LCD 1100mAh was working fine with my stardust for a few hours and then just stopped. Now it wont fire them anymore. Other cartomizers work fine with it, just not the stardust? I tried the stardust on my other ego batts and they work fine. Why would a battery just decide to stop firing them?

Since the Stardust works on other eGo batteries, it's possible the center battery connection on your Ego LCD 1100 mAh battery is just a smidge too low, and it's slipped lower. Try using a paperclip or knife point to pry the center connection up just a little bit, then trying the Stardust again.

eGo batteries are notorious for this. I have probably 15 eGo batteries, from 650 mAh to 1000 mAh, and just about all of them have done this at one time or another.

Not fixing mine Battery is a month old. Was doing fine, button lights up, but nothing. Put it on the charger and got a green light after about 10 min. Had just taken it off the charger maybe 5-6 puffs ago. Any other ideas, maybe?

When you screw on your Atty or Carto, is there a Small Gap between the Atty/Carto? There should be.

If there isn't, the Atty/Carto may not be "Bottoming Out" and making contact with the Battery Center Pole.

Try a Couple of othe Attys/Cartos and see if they work on that battery.

Just tried with the tank it came with (it's a 1000mAh - eGo-C Upgrade with the Type B Tank), a Stardust, a Phoenix and found a cheapie gas station cartridge that fits. None fire. I rocked the post back and forth to raise it and can visually see that I brought it up. I can feel resistance when contact is made, but it's just not giving up anything. I don't have a multimeter to test it, just added one of those to my wish list.

ETA: Yes, there is a small gap.

A Multimeter test of your battery would be the best thing.

It might be your battery isn't charging right. Or it might be that you charger is doing what it should be doing.

Glad I stumbled across this thread! Yesterday I broke my vision spinner that I only had for a couple weeks and was forced to fall back on my smoktech ego t batteries. I was very disappointed to find that my stardust wouldn't fire on these batteries. My Kanger T3 worked fine, and I knew there must have been a gap in the connection, but I didn't even know the center post on the battery could be pulled up, and never would've tried to mess with it on my own for fear of damaging the battery. Pried up the post with a knife and now my stardust works like a charm. Thanks!

Maybe this will help someone.

I am glad I came across this thread as well. Thank you for saving me the trouble of ordering another battery.

I fried two Riva's with a stardust. And I think I likely blew the short circuit on an eGo-c but it still works. This is what I think is the problem. One 'fix' for the tight draw of the stardust is to take some small needle nose pliers and pull the center post of the stardust out a bit - not too far of course and when one then screws it on the battery that post hits first and tends to travel causing a short. The new circuitry on the eGo-c will stop anything real bad from happening....

But... I've had the case to where the batt wouldn't fire - put it on the charger for a minute, which revives it - center the post in the stardust - rehook it up and all is fine. I've also had the eGo-c go off to where you had to click the 5 clicks to turn it on and again - as long as the center post in the stardust is centered, all is fine. Other joye clones may not have the type of short protection the new eGo-c's have. The older Joye eGo-t's and the Joye eGo's before that do not have that short or charge protection. And the vision stardust/CE4/CE5 are the only attys/cartos/clearos that have given me that particular problem.

When i turn 56 in Jan. and retire, i could supplement my income by selling batteries.
