No its not normal. Is it a Joye battery or is it a clone? Some clones do use Joye batteries, others use inferior stuff. There could have also been a short and the protection kicked in. When that happens the battery will not fire until you put back on the charger and it resets itself. So you may have thought it was dead. Did you try to use a different carto or atty?

Are you using a Joye charger? It will have the logo on it. Sometimes the Joye twists do not like generic chargers.

If its not the charger and it continues to fire for only an hour, return it. They should fire for a solid 5-6 hours even at the high voltage setting. . Im sure your supplier has a warranty of some kind.

That could very well be it. The normal ego batteries you have don't have all the electronics it that the twist has. I heard many people try the twist in different ego style chargers and they didn't work. That doesn't mean your battery isn't defective. Id return it, get the new one. If you have the same problem - its the charger.
