Overfilling

[Bullette the Cowdog]

BTW. If the battery is blinking, I don't think you fried it or it wouldn't be blinking. Just my 2c

Yep pretty well ALL chargers that come with starter kits are garbage. Always have a spare charger and never fill the carto up while connected to batt. After filling batt blow out excess juice into a tissue to prevent juice from getting on batt.

Edit: also a good idea to have a DIGITAL Mutimeter handy. Take s a lot of the guesswork out IMO. Here's one on sale:

I have a feeling it's not the charger. My other battery seems to charge. If I were to get another one though I would want a better one. So, whats a better charger?

I overfill my Boges all the time! Yes I know I'm wasting juice
I overfill them OFF the batt, a little juice gets on top of my batt & I clean it often. I've not had a problem with my Kgo batts in the 3 1/2 months I've had them.
How's your charger? Is it working properly?

I dont think its the charger cause my other battery seems to charge.

Unfortunately there is no better charger for the Kgo. I didn't realize the importance of a DIGITAL Multimeter until some friends had issues with their batts and/ or chargers. Best vaping investment I ever made as it takes a lot of the guesswork out when dealing with electronic issues. Have you tried a different cartomizer because sometimes the connection on the carto batt end is not making contact with the battery. It can be GENTLY pulled out. Although vid below shows how to pull a pin from an 808 carto it's the same with a 510. Do it GENTLY

It happens with cartos.

I don't fill them on the batt as I usually condom fill the first time, but then I just add drops as needed to keep it "shushy" like.

But, sometimes it drips down. You can tell immediately from the drop in performance and/or gurgles.

Just take the carto off, and check the batt connector.

Here's my e-power with some overflow in the top of the batt....nothing major.

I just stuff a piece of TP in there and let it wick it up.

Twist it around some to make sure it is clean and then just blow off any fuzzies that may remain. Also wipe down and blow out excess juice from the connector side of the carto too. You want metal-on-metal as a connection.

Check that you can see light through the air tube in the carto, if not, blow it out onto a napkin, some TP, etc. until you do.

Like so:

All done and ready to go. Just takes seconds to do.

Nope it's not the carto, cause it works on my other battery. Thanks for trying though!

It does sound like the battery. I would contact the vendor immediately as it seems you've exhausted all other options.

I had a similar experience in the first three days of operation of a new KGO. I thought I had fried both batteries that came with the starter kit. The problem turned out to be the cartos that came w/ my kit.

In addition to the starter kit, I purchased Boge LR 2.0 cartos. When I tried to Boge, everything worked perfectly.

The stock cartos caused the battery to blink. No vape. I honestly thought I had wrecked both batteries.

Wow, that's alot of juice! I definatley didn't get that much in there. I'm going to contact the vendor as vapor eyes suggested.
Thank You everyone for all your help!!!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I was using a kit carto when this happened, but even my smoke tech carto wont work on it. I have a feeling the kit carto is what killed it but I don't know

2 things, try using a different charger, also, try unscrewing you carto just a little. When I put my phoenix on my kgo, it blinks if I screw it on too tight.
