Please help


THis is the second time I've gotten a new battery for Joye 501. I got the mega and as soon as I charge it it won't work. The first one I used the USB charger and this one I tried the wall AC charger. The charger works on my regular Joye batteries. Is there a way to reset the battery. Could the chargers I got with my kit be bad or something, they work on my regular batteries??? Help I'm about to quit vaping and start smoking I've had nothing but problems with equip.

Could be your atomizer isn't making contact with the battery.

Does the battery light up when you press the button (or if an automatic, suck on the battery connection to make it light up) after you've charged it?? When you put the battery on the charger, does it flash (ash end) and does the charger show green when it's charged?

If not, your atomizer or battery center connection post may be pressed in (if you screw in the battery too tight or over tighten the atomizerr, it can compress the center pin which is set into a rubber insulator). This is common with new users.

Try pulling up the center post of either the battery or atomizer with an eyeglasses screwdriver (or something small and sharp like tweezers). I pull up GENTLY at 12:00 and at 6:00 position. Here is a post with some pictures of what I'm talking about.

When you put a battery into a charger, only screw it in to the point where it flashes and the charger light changes.

Also, if an atomizer isn't made by the same company as the battery, sometimes the connection isn't made due to being off in tolerance (not often, but happesn). Again, pulling up a center post for connection may help).

Let me know if that helps. If not, we'll get ya figured out.

It is a manual battery. When I put it on the charger it flashes 3 times then nothing i leave it on for 4 hours and remove it and it won't lite up Is the battery ruined. I've already sent one back andd it took me 2 weeks to get the replacement . Will it work if I hget a differnet charger or did my charger ruin it. I have the USB and AC and it's the same on both.

Might be best to take the battery with you in to see Chad at Ecigsupply. That way they can figure out what the deal is with it and you'll be able to get a charger or replacement battery and just send the one back for a refund to who ever is selling those. Do you know if it is a Joye Battery for sure? Where is it from?
