M twist 1000 died. hasn't even been a month. :(

[Drew_atx]

I dropped it a week ago. But it didnt seem to phase it. (phased me thought.. drop... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! LOL) Anyways, I was vapign at my desk last night and it started blinking and shutting off like it would after 10 secs. but it was doing after only 2 secs. I though it may be dying (hadn't happened while it was dying before but who knows right?) so i plugged it in. It would only charge if i scewed it in all the way then backed off 2 turns. (tried 2 charges and same with both) I let it charge for an hour and took it off. Same thing. threw a diff atty on. same thing. tried a jug. same thing. I figured out that if I just started twisting the end before 2 seconds (when it shuts off) and twisted it back and forth between 3.6 and 4.4 it wouldnt shut off. I did that for an hour then it just died completly. nothing . tried everything . I took it apart and everything looks perfect. all the wires are attactched and not burned. no spots on the circuit bored. I DON'T KNOW!!!!

any ideas?

Well im not sure if you had a warranty but taking it apart has just voided it. Does the battery say Joye anywhere on it?

When you took it apart did you meter your battery to see if it had a charge ? I'm just curious if the Batt went, a wire to the chip, the pot, or what ? my guess is the board went and a wire is fried, seems like the biggest failure on all Ego Batts.

30 days is way short for life, but the Twist is a disposable battery. They all have a cutoff point to protect you when you put it in a pocket or purse and the button gets pressed and held. We just release and press again for a longer vape.

You might want to look at the Lavatube and its look alikes. The LT gives you variable voltage with a battery that you can replace for $5 to $7. It's very popular and not that expensive. You will get all day vaping at work on a charge and you can carry a spare battery for long days or backup.

Mine did the same thing tonight. I'm so bummed. It wasn't even that bad a drop - fell from the bed to the floor onto carpet. Blink, blink, blink ... nothing. Muerto. I haven't decided whether I'm going to replace it. I love the form factor, but if they can't withstand a little fall like that, they don't stand a chance with me.

Yes, I think I am going to upgrade. I was reading about the ego v6 and the lavatube. I have not bought one yet because i have been worried they r gonna stop after a month or so like the other batteries i have had. I never thought about the fact that the batteries r seperate from the unit itself.

Yes, The battery did have joy on it. looked very high quality buitl to me also. I thought about the warranty and said ....... it. No my vmeter is at school. Really good idea though.

After looking at the chip under a better light there r some ice tea colored spots around some of the solder jints. looks like really light burns maybe??? i dunno.
