Ego one not working

[Helluxi]

Hey there, I bought an ego one vt about a month ago. It has worked no problem.
I was using it on and off today and it stopped working. When I click 5 times to turn it on, it doesnt work. Also, you are supposed to hold the fire button for 3 seconds to change between modes, but as soon as I hold the button down, it changes the modes, and does it very quickly. Previously it would take a second between each change. Any ideas? Video connected..

I could possibly say two things, there is juice on the circuits or the battery is failing.

Pretty serious malfunctions there. You'll probably have to replace it. Of course, with how cheap these Chinese mods are, we should all expect to have to replace them at least once before we've lost interest in the model, and just count ourselves lucky when that doesn't happen.

If you've only had it a month, check the return policy and warranty. GL.

If there is juice on the circuits, how can I clean them? How do I open up the battery?

If there's juice inside the device, it's defective. The Ego One VT is a ~$40 stick mod. Do you really want to start disassembling it? Doing so would almost certainly void whatever warranty it has.

If it's too late to ask whoever you bought it from for a replacement/refund, I'd prolly just buy something like an Eleaf Pico to replace, (and upgrade from), it.

According to the manual that I just looked at, when those lights flash in sequence like in your video, it means it's not charged (or extremely low charge) I don't own one personally, but does everything act the same if you remove the tank?

Those arent the lights that blink, the light that blinks is the one behind the fire button. Yes, when the tank is on or off it doesnt turn on, and does that when I hold the fire button.

I am thinking it's your battery. How are you charging it? Wall adapter or computer USB? Sometimes the Computer USB does not give a full charge. Your instruction manual could give you the light codes for whatever the problem is, but usually rapid flashing means low battery charge. Try a different charging cable and plug it into a wall adapter and see if it fully charges. Also since you have had it a month, it's a good time to clean your 510 pin with a qtip dipped in alcohol to remove any e liquid or oxidation that will prevent full power to your coil.

This happens when the tank is on or off, and I have charged it via wall plug only

Then your battery may be bad and you should check with where you got it for the warranty.

Questions for Clarification.

When you Plug your USB Cord in - Does the Red LED light for at least 5 seconds?
Does it then Go out........or .......Flash Red?

Contact the vendor that you bought it from. I just looked it up on the My Vapor Store site. Only a few reviews, but two of them had battery problems not long after purchase.

I've had 2 Ego One batteries die on me in the past 2 weeks. Not exactly like what you're seeing, but sort of close. You didn't mention it, but by any chance did you drop it, or did it tip over on a table or something right before it stopped working?

 

[Helluxi]

It stays red and then goes out after, its fully charged. And ive tipped it over on my table quite a few times, but randomly stopped working, not after a drop...

Hopefully still within warranty. Sounds like the Main chip is on the fritz. Would not be the first to mysteriously drop dead.
Contact your vendor and see if they can assist in an exchange.(don't mention drops)
