i need help , when i connect the atty, the battery flashes

[missj]

i ve been vaping for a week now
the battery , when nothing is connected to it , is working fine, but as soon as i connect the atomizer and I press the button, the light flashes but won't ignite the atomizer at all
When i unscrew it from the atty, the light is back to solid. I ve been trying two different batteries, and 4 different atomizers. And nothing is working....i must do something wrong , and i am lost
I'm pretty sure the battery is not dead yet, it should last several more hours.

Any of your help would be highly appreciated!
(i have a 510 with a LR atomiser)
thank you

Hi if its a riva or similar when the batt light flashes it means the batt needs charging

Are you sure these atomizers are working? Can you test them with a different battery?
If they are working then they may be failing to make contact with this battery. This happened to me once. If you look at the bottom of the atomizer you'll see a center part that can be pulled down by sticking something inside the hole like a bent paperclip.

i ve been charging both batteries for 8 hours.When i first used it ,the atomizers were working perfectly well and i was really enjoying the mint flavor
Then it was not doing any steam at all so i have checked on the forum , i have tried to clean it but without any success....so i have replaced the atomizer .
When i push the button on the battery , and nothing is connected to it , the light is continuous.But as soon as i start to screw an atomizers on it , it starts to flash.
i don t really know what to do anymore and i miss the vape!

Could this be a victim of previous warnings...

On a few threads, it is mentioned to not use LR attys on ego (or ego-like) batteries. The mosfet circuitry may get damaged.

You could try cleaning out the threaded end of your battery. If it's gunked up with juice, you may not be getting a good electrical connection.

What brand/make of 510 is it?

 

[jeffyh]

def sounds like an electrical problem. Have a multi-meter or a battery tester?

 

[missj]

i might be too newbie but what is the ego battery? this is how it has been delivered to me, and put all together
Keith i am going to try to clean out the end of my battery and try to recharge it again , hopefully it is going to work

This is the sign of a Batt where Your Mosfet connection has fried, Batt blinks with nothing connected but once connection is done and button is pushed to complete the circuit your light doesn't work or Batt wont fire. If its a brand new Batt call your vendor, if you have been using it with an LR Atty you probably over heated it chain vaping and fried the connection, either way the Batt is probably shot if nothing will fire on this batt

 

[missj]

no multi meter neither battery tester ...

you have an Ego fat battery then, i might be wrong but dont the new Egos have an enable disable function by tapping the button, its worth having a google about that function if it does have it, and good luck

 

[mwa102464]

You can use LR's on Ego or any batts for that matter, the trick is not to chain vape and heat them up, if you do this the mosfet connection gets to hot between the button and batt connection and melts that connection. either way just give it a rest n between vapes so it cools down, it is a batt like any other batt and its life will shorted a bit because of the stress put on it but it will and does work. Your best bet is to buy a higher mAh Batt running LR's or use a mod with a regular AW IMR type Batt that can handle this set up.

This could be the other issue, I believe clicking that button 5 times should turn the batt on or off if this is the case, otherwise the batt is shot

 

[eyebrook]

Try tapping your button 5 times and see if the batt works,its a new feature on Egos, you tap 5 times to turn it on and off

the brand is Joye510 E cigarette with a 1.5 genuine lr atomizer.
does that mean that i ve burned two brand new batteries??

 

[eyebrook]

yep i think your batts are fried,ive just had a 510 riva batt go on me after 3.5 months and i use 3 ohm cartomisers on mine, did you try the button tip and it didnt work, if so you need new batts

 

[missj]

yep i ve tried the button tip and didn t work
thank you all for your help an your explanations, it s nice from you to support the beginners!

 

[mwa102464]

Remember they are only batts, same as the Duracell in a way, being they only last for so long and need to be replaced.

Sounds like a warranty matter to me. It's hard to say what could be wrong, with which part(s). Normally, when the LED lights up constantly with nothing connected but flashes when an atomizer is connected, the atomizer is a goner. Cleaning might help, but usually doesn't. I'm guessing the OP has some eGo or Riva batteries, otherwise no LR atomizers would have been delivered with them as standard. Using regular 510's (the cig lookalikes) in combination with LR atomizers is a big nono, but eGo and Riva batteries can handle them. And it could even be that the charger is screwed up. Like I said, warranty.
