Ego Twist got too HOT to handle!

[~Sue~Feb2012]

One of my Ego twist batts almost burned my hand! Anyone have this happen?
Was it a short circuit? I've only had this Ego-c twist 650 mah battery for a couple months.
Yesterday, while I was vaping, my twist was set at 4.0, using an ego-T cartridge, (I forget what juice I was vaping) suddenly it started getting warmer and warmer so I did the "5-click" to turn it off...but it kept getting hotter and hotter! It got so hot I ran outside and set it on a brick...watched it in amazement for a while, LOL,
just in case it was going to self combust or something. It stayed too hot to touch for about 2 hours.
Later when I checked it, it was cold and dead. It didn't click back on, so of course, it had fried
itself and died.
I realize there are no guarantees for how long batteries will last, but I expected that when it's life
was over it just would not re-charge, or not turn on, some day. I never thought it would suddenly
overheat first, then die!!!!
Is this normal? I've never heard of it before. Anyone have this experience with a battery
scorching ya?
I do remember reading somewhere that we should never put the batteries on the charger then go
off to bed.
Should I now expect that my other newer ego twist 650 mah batts will do this too in a few months?

People have had the twist for longer than that without the problem you experienced. Check with your vendor to see what their warranty policy is. Joyetech offers a 6 months warranty on most of their hardware, so if the vendor's warranty has expired, ask how you can use the Joye warranty or contact Joyetech directly.
