ego-T battery woes

[fsa259]

My Valiant C battery no longer screws into the USB chargers. I thought the thread must have worn, but it still screws onto my Kangertech clearomizer. Any ideas as to what is wrong?


On another note, I bought a 950 mah battery from a 'Puff' branded store in Spain while I was out there last week. Now it refuses to charge properly. When I plug it into either of my chargers, the LED turns red for about 30 minutes then goes green. The battery only holds enough charge about 15 puffs.


I'm really having bad luck with these batteries. If I need to get a new one, any advice on a brand which will last a while? I'd rather spend a little more than have a cheap one which will give up again.

Yes, you should definitely get a better quality battery.

My iTasteVV is over 6 months old and cost me £30 with 5 clearos.

you can get it as an "express kit" too, for £20.

The Vision Spinners are good too

Vision Spinner 2 1650 Mah

These are both variable power batteries. If you want a plain one, try

Thank you so very much. Just feel gutted at having wasted all that money so far!

what happens if i charge for 2 hours then disconnect and vape till it runs out of battery. then charge for full charge? will I hurt the charge quality or the battery?

I have had a problem with my ego charger and then did the ego battery trick on my charger and still working good. Pull the center pin of the charger out a little more.

@ charging batteries when they are dead or half empty, I haven't gad a problem yet charging either way. They seem to vape the same way.

When I got mine a year ago nobody told me the best way to charge it, I used to screw it all the way onto the charger, withing a few months I killed a battery by not being able to unscrew and when I pulled it came apart, I bought a new battery and just didn't tighten all the way to the end, I would tighten to the tightest point then unscrew a quarter turn so it didn't stick, then a few weeks later the charger died, I bought a new charger and found that it didn't need a full tighten, if you plug the charger in first so the green light is on then screw the battery on until the light is red, once the light has gone red tighten a quarter more and job done, toward the end of the life of my old charger the 650mah battery took 5 hours to charge and the 1100mah would be on 2 days and still not go green, no from 100% flat only takes about 2 hours

Its better to buy the good stuff first then to mess with cheaper brands. I highly recommend taking advice from experienced members, doing some of your own research, and finding what things will suit your needs. At that point is when you should explore and purchase products

Just one comment.

I have not been running my batteries to empty now for well over a year. No problems with this method.

I personally think the iTasteVV usb charging system is far superior to the "old" eGo style chargers.
