User error? eGo passthrough won't work

[gemmabell86]

I just received my new set up, part of which is an eGo passthrough battery, 1000mAh.

I've hooked it up to a USB port, plugged into the battery - but nothing happens.

Is this user error or could this thing be a dud? Does it need to sit for a while before it will work? I'm so dissappointed, I was really hoping to get into vaping tonight.

I'm guessing the battery is nearly fully charged. Same thing happened with me.
Get some vape time on it, then try again - red light should pop right on.

do you mean you tried it and it doesnt work? then this means the battery is locked, they usually ship them this way for protection.
try hitting the fire button 5 times real fast to unlock it, you should see the light blink a few times to be able to tell if it worked.

Herp Derp.
I didn't know I had to press the button 5 times to turn the thing on!

It's working now!

Mods feel free to delete this thread. Or leave it up for newbs like myself.

Don't feel bad-I knew the 5 clicks to turn it on-couldn't understand why I couldn't get anything out of it. Finally figured out, you had to keep your finger on the button for it to work!! Du-uh. Stupid question-why 5 clicks?

Stupid question-why 5 clicks

dont know why 5 exactly but more then 2-3 because sometimes to get a big big drag people will multi fire the battery to avoid the 10 second cutoff.
