eGo-T problem? (With Pictures)

[Alpha.Kilo]

I jsut got a new eGo battery yesterday. This afternoon, after buying a new flavor and clearomizer, I noticed when I went tried to vape my eGo blinked 3 times. I thought it needed charge at first but after a full charge I vaped with my new flavor through-out the day.
Until I noticed when I try to switch to my old (the one i was using when i first noticed the problem)Bottomfeeder, it blinked. Switched to the new one, it works.

I have read online cant find anything. A little help??

Left is old bottomfeeder. Right is new one

Looking at eGo connector.

Into Bottomfeeder

Into New one

hello and welcome to ECF


blinking is a warning alert
different blinks tell different stories (read manual)

blinks when you turn it off/on

when battery charge is low

when there is a 'short'

from what you described it sounds like the COIL in your clearomizer is bad
replace the coil all will be good

just all part of the safety system...

Didnt get a manual haha. Bought from a mom and pop store, nice people though.

What wouldve caused the coil to go when I just got that bottomfeeder yesterday?

 

[pufZeppelin]

it just happens

-bad coils

-you overheated it perhaps

just write off as a loss and move on to next coil...

Can you take it apart and take a peek at the coil?

Looks to be similar to evod type. Check youtube on how to.

Cheers,

Take it apart, screw the coil off, clean everything, screw coil back on TIGHTLY, try again.

Sounds like it may have shorted though

I had t he same problem when I got my first setup
The coil had loosened in the base and my ego blinked

It's shorting out somewhere. Most likley the coils are broken.
Out of 10 retail coils 3 of them was not working at all for me. (kanger)
It'll blink and not fire to warn you that something is not right. It could be that you've overtightening it aswell.
