Question about eGo C Twist battery?

[mdee4]

I have an eGo C Twist battery. It's the one with a variable voltage.

When I click the button, the light blinks 3 times and does not work.

What does this mean?

Thanks

could be it needs to recharge
could be need to click 5 times to turn on
could be defective

It is charged. It is turned on. If I take the top tank piece off then the battery seems to work just fine. But if I put the tank back on, then when I click the button it just blinks three times. Does anyone know what the lights blinking three times means?

does it work with a different tank if it does then something wrong with tank
if it doesn't something wrong with battery

Well from what I remember when the battery is fully charged. The light on the charger turns green. When the battery dies it will blink five times and shut off. So fully charge it and see if the problem happens again. If u are a heavy vaper u should get at least 5 hrs of vape time at least. That was my one gripe with the joyetech egoc twist no battery indicator.
If it turns out u need another I would recommend the Engo V-V2 I think it's a 1200 mah vv and has a batt level indicator.
The only thing I heard which I haven had any issues with mine is the pin on top.
But I love it...
Good luck hope u get it resolved

I don't know what the codes mean but if it works without the tank but not with it, I would check for a short. Can you check the resistance of the atomizer?

Sounds like a bad coil. Try another tank, or replace the coil if your tank is s rebuildable one.

When my ego c twist 1000 mAh batteries die, they blink more than 5 times... It blinks for 10 to 15 seconds

I'm thinking you're probably using a clone/knockoff version and something might be wrong with the center pin. Where did you buy the battery from? and how much did it cost?

Is the light on the button white? Genuine eGo batteries are from Joyetech. Like others said it may be a short on the coil in the tank that makes the battery stop working. It's built in protection that does this. Sorry I am no help.

I had this same issue with an ego-type battery (this one wasn't a twist though).
Tried different tanks, tried raising the pin (you can use a paperclip to wiggle it up a bit to see if there's a better connection), charging it overnight, nothing worked. Ended up sending it back for a replacement.
Wish I had a more concrete answer than that. Good luck!

Is this a new battery?

Does it say "Upgrade" on the side? It might not if it's generic, but there is a type of battery called an eGo Upgrade that has two different operating modes. They call it variable voltage, but it's not exactly. I'm not going to go into detail about how they work, in case it's not that kind of device, but here are the commands for the upgrade. Give it shot, it might work.


It has two output modes: “Regulated/Constant” and “Unregulated” (Joyetech calls that mode “Battery Voltage.”)

Click 5 times to turn on
If the button is white or blue, you are in the Regulated mode
If the button is orange, you are in the unregulated mode.

To switch modes, click the button 5 times to turn it off. Hold the button down until it turns white/blue or orange, whichever is different from the last mode you were in and it will blink 3x in that color. Click it 5 more time to turn it back on.

ETA: Let us know if it is that sort of device and we can explain it further.

Mine did this when I had the tank screwed on to tight..,

I changed tanks and it works fine with other tanks. It's an official Joyetech battery. It's not new, but not old either. So it's something wrong with the tank, I just wish I knew what.

Change coils.

Yup, I think so. I think it's trying to tell you there's a short-circuit and it doesn't want to explode.
