Panic Stations!

[JusCruizin]

So I'm at work, happily vaping on my eGo C when she suddenly stops working!!

It has power (pressing down the button it goes white) but it's not heating up and I may as well be sucking on my pen for all the good it's doing me.

I've changed the battery but same deal - white light, nothing happening.

Pulled it apart, given a wipe down to everything and still nothing.

Any ideas? Please??

I just tried mine with no atty and it lights up white. Maybe your not getting a good connection between the two. I've heard you may have to lift up on the battery post a little bit. Hope that helps.

1buda is likely right - pull up the center post on the clearo/carto/atty for a connection.

yeah; the top of the battery; down in the middle, that's the positive pole of the battery, and it's not exactly a solid rigid thing; instead it seems to be a thin flat plate that can move down if you screw things down to hard, but then it won't move back up by itself, you have to get a toothpick or pin and try to lift it back up.

It's one of the deficiencies of the 510 interface.

Do you have another head you could try? It sounds like it might be dead.

Thanks for the extremely prompt replies all of you.

I'm in an office so a bent paperclip is the closest I've got to a tool to lift the centre pin up. Moves a little but I have no idea how far it needs to go and don't want to break it off!

Izan I do, unfortunately it's at home

Sounds like a bad connection. Try what 1buda said, then get backup equipment including another charger. Never know when something is going to fail.

The pin just needs to be pulled up about as much as a piece of paper.

By the way does the button usually light up white anyway or does it usually light up blue?

It lights up white, when it turns blue it needs charged.
