Contact them, it sounds like the battery. It happens from time to time.
An update is that I can SOMETIMES get this thing to work with Blu cartos, other times it still shorts out. It doesn't help that my Protank is gurgling like crazy, I just had to dump a tank of prized juice because I couldn't figure out what in the world was up. There's literally nothing on my battery head though!
if the protank is gurgling normally this means you over filled it.
as stated before...make sure there's no juice leaking onto your battery as this will cause it to short out

There's absolutely no juice on my battery - it shortens out even on Blu cartos and they don't leak a bit. The tank started to gurgle and leak pretty bad but only in the lower head, it never seemed to get to the battery. I'm just not sure what in the world is going on - it's going to take me so much money just to ship it back!
Losing track here are we comparing the Joye C-Twist 1000mah with the Vision Spinner or some clones from Fasttech? I for one own 2 Joye C-twists and since they will be raising their prices I was looking at the Vision Spinner as a backup for now.
It's supposed to be the genuine vision spinner. I'm starting not to trust DV tho. My protank ii has features that make me think it's really a clone. like how the heads will not come apart no matter how much force i put, nor will the pieces of the tank (other than the bottom plate and mouthpiece). it leaked like crazy too.
Kangertech is on my tank using like a greenish-tan transparent paint, doesn't look engraved, and the box was legit other than how the big dark shiny tank picture on the front wasn't shiny like boxes ive seen, more just "there" and real dark, almost not there.
DV has all sorts of it's self-brand items, I'm sure they'd have no problem rebranding something to look like an original. However, all that aside, I emailed the owner about my battery, and if i read his reply right, he's sending me a new battery along with a return package. They didn't put up any sort of fuss at all so either the ppl from DV are really good folks or they've been having this issue a lot...

DV will do you right. I know he sells his own version of name brands, but he just might have received a bad batch. Fasttech on the other hand advertises named products and ships clowns, plus with all the delays they are having with batteries is out for me as I've read too many horror stories about them. Plus on would you ever return a defective product.
Yeah, at this point, I'll probably still shop at DV, the shipping time isn't that bad with them and they do have good prices. I just believe that if any store has a batch that they already know is faulty, that each device should be tested before sent out, or there should be a discount price, or there should be a disclaimer. I own a business myself and, like shipping times and vaping, it's a time sensitive and very personal-to-the-customer's business. My customers can't wait 6 extra days for a replacement product (for example, you can't sit an an O'Charleys 6 days because the cook accidentally put a food your allergic to on the hamburger) and that's why I let customers know if my technology is acting up before they make a purchase or make a schedule surrounding that - and if the accidents happen, I have to offer about a %75 discount plus full a full remake, or a full refund plus their travel expenses if they made a special trip to see me. The nature of my product is just too time sensitive and takes so long to produce that extra days leave my customers extremely angry and very willing to file suits. Just so happens I have that same mentality after companies making me waste hundreds on this endevour, making my health worse in the process too.
For example, if my Blu kit didn't break after 6 days of owning it 2 months ago, I'd have saved over $100 in cigarettes so far and over $100 on better vaping devices. I never sent it in because the wait time for a return for Blu is a month. It's ridiculous, the return policies of these companies. I'm glad DV is sending me a new battery up front though, no extra wait for my broken one to ship back!

If I were you, since it's not doing you any good anyway and you are waiting on a replacement. I'd put it on the charger and leave it there until the light turns green (or blue depending on the charger). From what you've said, I don't think it ever got charged up.
I have 3 Ego C Twists and they take 6 or 7 hours to charge. Just received a Smok eGo Winder 1300mAh. It acts strange to me, but after about 9 and 1/2 hours the charge light finally turned green. Also, I'd recommend that you have at least 2 batteries. Then you can have one charging while you vape with the other. I'd go nuts with just one.
Just received 2 mini ego's for my wife from DV last week and she is tickled pink with hers.
Hope you have some better luck.

I agree if I didn't have at least 2 batteries I would be back on analogs. When I smoked I would panic when my lighter was going dead.
Spinners and Twists have sealed batteries. Juice leaking into atty connector shouldn't short it out.
If your protank doesn't work on top, make sure you do not have your spinner voltage turned up too high. The battery protection is going to kick in if you are using really low ohm tank and have your batt turned up too high.
Also, make sure bottom pin on protank is making good contact w/the battery....sometimes it helps to take tweezers, look underneath the tank and just pull the bottom pin out a bit.
Alslo when charging the spinner, set it at 4.2V. Then put on charger. The spinners charge that way and will blink and such until charged...light on usb cord will go green when done.
Well, based on this thread I went ahead and ordered a Vision Spinner to truly test them head-to-head.
@ Racehorse, by center pin do you mean the coil wire inside the head's bottom tip or the whole head's column chamber itself? The column is touching ( you have to screw the head on the bottom plate THEN screw the plate on the protank for the head's column to be level with the plate's column) but the wire is not long enough to exactly touch the battery, and it's not touching the sides of the head's column. I mean, my head is producing quite a bit of vapor, just no flavor.
MJ,
Sometimes the center post on the outside of the clearo - that which connects to the battery's center post, needs to be pulled out a bit. However, if you're getting good vapor, then that isn't the problem.
Good vapor and no flavor almost always means that you're vaping too high of wattage for your flavor. Ligher flavors will wash out or decrease in flavor if the wattage is too high. There is also the case where you have a strong flavor, where the wattage isn't enough to bring out the flavor, but that is less likely unless it is coffee or espresso which sometimes requires 10 watts to taste really good, but even at 7-8 watts there should be some flavor... below that sometimes no flavor at all. depend on the ejuice....
That's what I thought. Wasn't the leaking/shorting problem prevalent with the "automatic" batteries - the ones that would turn on when you draw?
All good tips. Thanks, Racehorse!
I've been thinking of ordering a VV ego type battery, although I'll probably go with the Kangertech EVOD VV version since I'm happy with the performance of my Kanger starter kit batteries.
Is it possible that this is the problem?

Although I don't know that I would mess with it now that you have a replacement in the mail. I remember seeing that before I bought my starter kit - while I was still researching e-cigs as an alternative. Not sure if this is the what Racehorse was referring to above.
