[spiconi]

Hello,

i have a KGO cigarette, and it wont work anymore, when i push the button it dont light, but when i put my battery to charge the button lights.
What could be the problem?

i tried also the 5 click protection but it wont light "work"

my son told me they do wear out after so long how long have you use it

As Karen mentions, just like any battery (nonchargeable or chargeable) they do eventually reduce in their power out-put and in the ability to retain a charge. If you have only had it a short time, there may be a problem.

its 7 days old. strange thing is that it lights when i charge it, but when unplug it and click the button nothing happens.

Do you have a voltage meter to check the battery? The charger works OK? You could try very gently moving the center button on the battery up a tiny bit in case it's not making good contact with the charger. Could be a faulty battery and hopefully it's under warranty. Even cheap batteries have lasted me 3 months minimum. Some of my joye batteries are over a year old (but I have a lot of batteries). What kind of carto's are you using? There have been reports of smokemizers shorting out batteries.

I believe there is something wrong with it. contact the supplier.

i use on it the normal atomizer that comes with the cigarette, i have 5 chargers and i tried all of them, but there is one thing strange to me, 4 of my usb cable chargers are 420 mah, and 1 of them is 450 mah, and after i charged the cigarrette with 450 mah charger it wont work, could that be the problem? i have no voltage meter.

I would definitely contact the supplier... When I bought my ego, they told me it would be good for about 300 charges!

That could be the problem. It does say on their website not to use the joye ego charger to charge it. And someone else posted that a different charger killed their battery.

Kgo's have to be charged on a special Kgo charger, according to every seller I've seen. That's the problem.

Have you tried raising the center post? Lift it gently around the edges with a toothpick or a bent paper clip. Avoid touching the button while you do this.

I will bet you a cup of coffee that the 450ma charger has a longer center contact, compared to the thread depth, than the 420ma charger.
As you attached the battery, the longer center contact pushed down the center pole of your battery connector.
For this reason, your 420ma charger might not make contact correctly either. If it doesn't, that verifies that the center pole of your battery has been depressed too far.
Pull it back up, stick a carto in and see if it works.

Honestly, on an 1100mah battery, a 420ma vs a 450ma charger isn't going to hurt the battery unless the polarity is wrong.
I would seriously doubt you hurt the battery by using 450ma.
You are supposed to use a kGo charger because it fits the connector and doesn't supply too many amps, which will hurt or destroy your battery. There's nothing magical inside a kGo charger that works only with a kGo battery, or vice versa.

You really do need a meter though, to quickly diagnose these kinds of problems.
