Well, as the title states, my Ego-C Passthrough that I've had for less than a month now and have charged relatively 25 times or so is now blinking every second on the charging indicator when plugged into the passthrough port.
Here's what happened. I picked it up, took a hit then waited a while as I alwas do. After that I took another 2-3 second hit off of it and it worked fine..as it always did.
After that I went to take another, and it wasn't firing, so I was puzzled, and hit the button with no response.
I figured that it was dead, as it's been dying rather rapidly lately TBH. (it wouldn't even last a day, which is crap since I've been hitting it less than when I got it about a month ago, and it would last 2-3 days initially.
Well, after tinkering with it a bit I've noticed that it was blinking really rapidly, so I disconnected the charger, and removed the carto, and realized that the cartomizer is literally reversing the process, so I figured that it was the carto. I tested 5 other ones (two of which I KNOW work, as I just took them off within the last few days (different ones for different flavors) and they're causing the same issue.
Is this thing just discharged, and trying to figure out what's going on, or is something wrong?
When I connect the carto, and it's about halfway screwed in it'll let me fire the battery, but if I connect it all the way it won't. It'll blink five times indicating that it's turning off, and then that's it. I have to disconnect the carto for it to do anything else.
When plugged into the charger I've gotten two responses from it.
1. It would blink (the charging indicator at the bottom (the one that lights up red NOT THE BATTERY) every second.
2. it would blink rapidly (about 6-10 times per second) and when I hold down the button, the charge indicator would work
I'm assuming this is a short, but I'm hoping that someone can tell me if they've had this issue, and have fixed it, as I can't figure out how the bottom charger is connected for the passthrough, and am scared to yank this thing apart.
Thanks for any help...

Just kidding! Good luck getting it replaced.
