eGo issues!

[jctgh]

Hi everyone!
We just got our eGo yesterday and already 2 of the atomizers don't work. (good thing we bought extras--thanks, Ginger!) Anyway, when we attach one of them and press the button, it blinks and the atty doesn't burn. With the other atty, the button lights up but nothing happens. Any suggestions or solutions?
Thanks!

Did you check the charge on the batts. ? (you it blinked with one)

Also I had an atty that I had to PUSH in as I screwed it in or it didnt make good contact with the plate underneath (the top end of battery). I still have a couple that want special treatment (atties are so fussy lol) although others seem to work without me having to PUSH them in. I thought at first I had 2 non working atties until I pushed as I screwed them in - then all was revealed. Try that (and make sure the batteries are charged) - nothing to lose.

Hi Panda, The one that we are having issues with, we got from an e-cig store. I ordered one from Liberty Flights yesterday! How do you like yours? Have you had good luck with them?
Foggy-The battery was fresh off the charger and other atties worked-just issues with those two. Any other ideas?
Thanks, Capt! I will try that right now!

Ok Capt, I just tried pushing down while I twisted--no luck BUT, I tried pushing the button as I screwed and now one of them works!!! It was the atty that caused the battery to blink. When it was blinking, I unscrewed and then rescrewed and VIOLA! Thanks so much!

glad it worked out for ya, be sure to keep all connections clean..they can get gunky

if it blinked does that not mean the battery is dead, try blowing them out as they come prefilled with horrible stuff from the factory.

Eastmall make some of the best Atty's on the market, dependable and long lasting low resistance ones too

Thanks, gibo! Where do you find Eastmall attys?

Did you say it is a regular atty? or LR?

Also, use a multi-meter if you have one and check the ohm rating on the atty. You may also check continuity. Sometimes atties are just duds.

Also, as noted above, there are the connections... make sure they are clean. Also, the center post of the atty can get pushed in a bit. Careful use of a bent paperclip-hook may pull it back out. Try not to over crank the atty onto the battery if you can help it.

FYI- I've seen posts in other areas about LR atties on EGO type devices burning out the circuitry on the battery OVER TIME. Something about the higher amps stressing the battery/MOSFET. In other words, they wear out the batteries (its lifetime) quicker. A lot of people love the combo tho... just an FYI.

Thanks, Atty! It is just a regular atty. Don't really understand the appeal of the LR.
