I recently bought a smok Prince Stick with the V12 Prince tank. When I plug my charger cord into it, the red light under the charging port doesn’t cut on to show me its charging. It’s been sitting in the same spot for over an hour and it hasn’t charged. When I take it and click the firing button, it blinks 15 times. I click it 5 times to cut it on and it blinks 3 times, but then it won’t let me hit it. I want to know if it’s an internal issue, or if it’s my charger cord or if it’s a tank issue. Any help is appreciated.

not an expert ,
-try changing sockets to another one
- try changing charger
- the tank or the mod could come faulty happens sometimes
your best option is to return it and get a new one
My suspicion is the microUSB2 is kaput. Either the cord (hopefully) or the port (it’s dead, Jim).
My thought is that it is defective also, and that you should return it for a replacement. Good luck.
With Smok gear especially, I get kind of concerned. Even if you could fix the mod (not sure you can) I really hate it when electrical issues arise of ANY sort with any mod, but with Smok, sometimes a return and getting sent another mod that REALLY should have passed QC, may be best.
Good luck,
Anna

Either claim warranty (if possible) or dispose of it. You do not want to mess with an internal LiPo mod that has a bug in the electronics. I'd immediately unplug it and put it in a place where it doesn't cause damage in case of rapid unscheduled disassembly.
Yes, I too believe it's a chip issue. The smok brand is readily available, cheap and cheerfully innovative most everywhere but are known to have qc issues. I'd return it for a replacement. Btw are you a new vaper and this is your first starter kit? If so, I would recommend an heir to your analoges and a spare. Plus a third tank and spare coil heads that you keep for craving emergencies in the next highest strength nic to what you find is working in your preferred flavour, ask for a double flavour shot if you can in that higher strength. If for whatever reason you are going nuts for a cig switch your toppers and vape exhaling through your nose for 10-15 minutes. Savor that yummy juice! Then re asses and if you still want a cigarette have one, make sure it is not your usual brand. Pretty quick you should find you don't really want or enjoy the stinkies! If not, come back here and ask for other ideas...tons of helpful folks here have found as many ways to successfully quit smoking as there is different devices and juice flavours. Someone has come before you and found a way that works for them, and there IS a way that will work just for you too!

Welcome to the forum.
Blinking 15 times, that tells you the battery in the mod is at it's low mark (3.3 volts) It needs charging. It automatically turns off after it blinks 15 times.
The first thing I would check, is the power adapter.. it may have went bad. Try using a known good adapter. I would probably use a 1amp charger, but if you don't know, use whatever your phone uses, but keep checking it to make sure the mod isn't getting too warm while charging.
Next, check the cable. if you have an extra micro USB laying around that you know is good, then use that one. It's always best to rule out the charger and cable first before sending it back or revisiting the place you got it from.
If it still blinks after using a known good charger and cable, then it's time to visit the shop or talk to them about returning it.

i would say try a different charger make sure it a proper one to use and if that doesnt solve the issue probably a defective device
