This is why I sometimes hate electrical products. Sometimes they just don't work and mess around with you. I'm still incredibly addicted to the nicotine and can't go an hour without. And things like this makes me mad and aggressive, and making me urge a good vape even more, creating an evil circle. Cigarettes never let me down like this :(

Here is the video by the way!

I hear you loud and clear...and couldn't agree more!!! Right now I'm just about ready to spit nails and smash things. For the past week I've been in vaping Hades. I had been lumping along okay with my GS Air coils and M tank...but when the last "good" coil died and I tried finding a good replacement in my GS air coil boxes...it simply wasn't to be. I tried every trick in the book in my attempts to get one of a half dozen coils to function right to no avail. Luckily I had a "miracle coil" Aspire BVC in my Cero that has lasted over a week now (SHOCK!!!) and I'm trying to baby it along because I have NO faith that I'll get another coil that good from a BVC again. (I thought I'd found another miracle BVC and was using it in an Aspire ET-S tank...but it croaked after a full day's use). So. Here I am...struggling with GS Air coils that either taste bad, don't work, or gurgle and leak. This is getting expensive fast. And way more expensive than I can justify!

I didn't have nearly this much trouble with carto tanks...but still can't get the ones I have to last more than a day now (used to be different...much better. Even a sub-par carto would last me at least a few days. Good ones up to 3 weeks! It's like the Vaping Gods hate me now). And you are right. Cigarettes never caused this much grief, frayed nerves or profound depression!!!

I tried it a lot of times, and checked after every little movement.

I can't use that tank on my other battery as it is a dual coil.

But I want this kind..I have several tanks and tons of coils. It'd cost me a ton to move onto another setup. So i'm gonna stick with 510/ego until I won the lottery, because I can't afford much. I stopped buying every sort of snack/candy/soda ever anf that's my budget for vaping.

How long ago did you buy this. Maybe you can bring it back and they will replace it since it was not abused

I'm sorry that didn't work. I'll keep thinking for a solution. This is why most vapers have a back up equipment for times like these. I'm not trying to be condensending but it is something to think about for the future.
I know, if I could, I'd have a backup. Was planning on getting another battery closer to christmas. But I can't right now. I have my evod 1 kit, but I feel really miserable using those in their current condition...

Although, the grocery store is pretty cloose......no i'm not going back. Ahh this annoys me. I'm truly an addict.

That sounds positive. Keep hanging in there. Better times are just ahead!!!
I hope so. I just go my new tanks and a new battery. Since tuesday I've been a really happy vaper, extremely satisfied with my new setup and got 600ml of DIY dupplies coming in soon and everything was looking great. Then this battery came and pretty much destroyed my mood and weekend.

I'm right there with you, my friend!

All this kind of crap with replacement coils is more than half the reason I went to strictly-rebuildables -- I'll do my own QC, thanks, since nobody in China can be bothered. :facepalm:

After I bought a 5-pk blisterpack of coils for my T3S, way back in early 2014... and 4 out of 5 were duds... I knew I had to find a better way.

Whats the other battery? Why can't you run a dual coil tank on it??

Enaud, am using the Subtank mini. Got the black, white and the silver. Am lost as to what "top part" you're warning me about. The "flue/chimney" is attached permanently to the top where the tip goes in.....I think. Will recheck, but no loosening in the 3 mos. I've had them.

Thank you again for your post. :) Having a grand ol' time tootling on the Aspire 1.5 ohm BVC at 8.5 watts. Ha!
I meant the two parts of the tank, the base and the tank section. If you turn it upside down and try to unscrew it you'll see what I mean. Have fun:) I never tried these coils before now, and so far so good. I am really liking them.

Because after just a few vaping sessions, it struggles with powering just a single coil. The other is a 650mah evod starter kit battery.
Should run it just fine, unless the battery itself is just wore out.. Dang, was gonna share a link where they had some Vision Spinners on sale for under $5 but they sold out...

Spinner 2 1600mah for $5? I believe that was clones. I'm not taking a chance with using non authentic batteries or chargers.

From your vid, Vapez, it certainly looks like a connection problem. The charger light should go red when it "sees" the battery. (If fully charged, it might go back to green quickly, but at least be red briefly.) Since that's not happening...

It's also possible that the charger itself, (or the USB port you're using) has failed. Do you have another charger?
