Go-Go Battery issue. Help?

[Crazy1Bob]

I am having an issue and am hoping that someone might be able to help with it.
My Go-Go has been working great, but I charged one of the batteries last night, charger light turned red, power button LED blinked 3 times and it did a full charge.
I put it up and went to use it today and as soon as I put a Go-Cart on it, I could hear the atomizer going.
I thought I had my finger on the button, so I checked and I wasnt, light wasnt lit, I wasnt touching the button at all.
I unhooked the Go-Cart and it stopped. I tried pressing the button and and it is not lighting up. I tried putting the Go-Cart back on and its still doing the same thing. Button isnt depressed. I pressed it a bunch of times thinking it could be stuck. I hooked it back up to the charger and the button doesnt flash, the charger button turns red, but the button does nothing. Its like its stuck on internally. I checked the post and its very stable and I can see the O-Ring Looks good all the way around.

I have no idea what is wrong with it. Can anyone help me out?

My guess would be that the O-ring has possibly become mashed down to where metal is against metal. When you attach the cartomizer and overtighten it can fire the cartomizer if there is not proper insulation between center post and base. (wear and tear) Not sure without examining the battery why the button LED stopped lighting up? Usually when this occurs the button (LED) will also just flash several times when you press down or button will light up without pressing down on it until safety cut off after 15 sec.

When I've attached my cartos, I tighten them down just enough that they aren't loose, they still come loose on me when im putting more liquid in and spinning the go go while holding the bottle to drip an even amount. Also when i put a carto on, as soon as i barely make contact with the post, it starts firing. I inspected the o ring again and with no carto on, and it appears to be almost 1 mm thick all the way around. I attempted to use a pair of tweezers to possibly raise the post to see if that is my issue and it sparked from contacting the outer metal to the post, which if the center post was shorting, shouldn't happen. The led flashed 3 flashes, paused, then flashed 3 more flashes and stopped. Which is what you described above. So the led for the button still works. It's acting like the short is inside before the post causing it to fire constantly. Any ideas? Would you like me to send the battery in for you to inspect? Ill be happy to do this. This to me doesn't seem like the normal issues that come up from what I've read. I'm ok on one battery for the time being since one charge lasts me 6 days and I keep my charger in my case with me all the time so I can readily recharge. Also if it is bad and I need a new batt, is there any way I can buy a single battery? I haven't seen that option for the go go. Also I've only had the go go since July.

Thanks SSV2

Hmmm, anything is possible at this point considering you have been using it now successfully for the last couple of months or so without incident and now recently appears to be acting out of the norm

I would not recommend putting it back on the charger at this stage. It probably will just blink 3x in sequence then 3 more times without engaging.

Shoot me a PM or e-mail me directly at ssv2@cigeasy.com with your name and order number so I know who you are outside the realms of ECF world.

May be savalgable or not? In any event, having only one Go-go is no fun. Though getting by for 6 days on one charge is pretty good! Better to have one Go-go than no Go-go....Good grief, I need some serious sleep
