Weird!!! left the thing alone (went n' picked up a new one :p and some juice, ran a few errands ...) came back just now slapped a carto on it and it firing up like a charm!

Could be the battery post got pushed down.



Also could be one of the wires is not fully connected inside. I've had to repair 3 in the last few weeks. The wire solder point was a "cold" solder. I also repaired one in which the pcb had shifted and the external button was not making good contact with the button in the pcb. The wires inside are the size of hair strands- very small.

Glad it's fixed.... First thing to try when that happens is the 5 click on/off trick. Then as vapoor eyes er says above. Also try that on the clearo/carto/atty..... but check the ohm rating on that first. If a coil drops below 1.0Ω you'll run up against the short protection on eGos. So never 'try' the clearo on another battery without metering it first or you're liable to short another batt.
