Problem charging a ego-t battery

[murrajes]

I had one of my ego-T batteries on the charger for 3 hours, 2 nights in a row and still can't get a steady green light. The charger stays on red but there are intermittent green blinks. I'm dripping some really expensive zero nic liquid into it and it seems to be working but there is absolutely no TH. Is it the zero nic juice or the battery not getting hot enough?

Thanks for reading!

Have you used this juice before and gotten th, or is this a new juice? Have you ever gotten a th with this juice on any atty or battery? And yes, nic level can affect th.

How long/how many cycles have you charged this battery? Do you have other ego batt's you are charging with this charger and are they charging?

cheers,

First, nicotine is the most effective ways to get throat hit, with power, also known as heat, as the second most effective. You did not say what resistance your atomizer is, so I cannot say how much power you are getting. (P=V*V/R and the voltage from an eGo is 3.2 V, so all you need to do is square the voltage and divide by the resistance to get your power in Watts.)

So, you have a huge strike against getting a throat hit with the 0-nicotine liquid. The next strike would be 0-nicotine being expensive since nicotine is usually the most expensive component in juice. (I am not sure if the lights not changing on the charger is a ball or a strike though.) If it produces vapor, then the charger is only slightly messed up, but still needs to be replaced. If you are not producing vapor then the battery is either dead, or the atomizer is, but I'd suspect the battery if the charger is not altering the lights.

The only way to tell, for certain, what is going on is to take a multimeter to the equipment. Test the atomizer for resistance. Test the battery for voltage. Be very careful doing this and it is STRONGLY suggested using the base from a dead atomizer as the test points since having the probes touch while measuring voltage could, very likely, damage the battery. A non-loaded eGo should measure close to 3.7 volts. (It drops to 3.2 volts when loaded down by the atomizer.)

I have charged Ego batteries in the past and the green flashes during the charging cycle are normal. The flashes get longer and closer together as the battery gets closer to fully charged.

charging an Ego battery can take 5-6 hours or more.

Are you using an USB charger only? If so, the indicator light may be malfunctioning. I had the same problems until I got a wall wart (USB to wall adapter). Those work great, are safer and the lights function properly.
