Guys... I killed my favorite battery! 
I think what happened was that my leads either got crossed (I rebuild my kanger coils) or made contact with something they shouldn't have, shorted, and killed it. Whatever happened, it seems to be well and truly dead. It acts like it is charging when I plug it in (button light comes on, blinks, charger lights up red, eventually turns green, and the button light goes off), but once I take it off the charger it won't turn on, won't fire, and the button doesn't light up when pressed anymore.
Worst part is, it was 1 of 2 VV ego-style batteries I had. Now I'm down to 1 VV and 4 small fixed voltage egos, 2 of which were on their last legs when I got my VVs (they were my starter batteries). SO, I need to replace it. (And be more careful when clipping my leads!!!
)
I could get another VV like the one I still have, but I'm really interested in the eleaf istick and was thinking of getting one next anyway. (Better battery life would be great, would love to try VW, would really like a device with a built-in ohms checker so I don't have to keep swiping husband's, etc...) Unfortunately, I missed the sale on them at ecig.com last weekend, and that price was about the limit of what I currently have to spend. I wasn't expecting to need to replace a battery so soon... I just got my VVs a couple months ago. Anyone know who has the next-best price on the isticks? Any other suggestions in my price range? Commiseration?
