Vision spinner 1100: not charging...{stays red..}

[jingo]

hi there..

I've been having great success with my vision 1100mah...

but they both ran out of battery.. so i charged one - it worked fine:
Red light flashing briefly to green,,,, white light on.... - in a couple of hours light was green; white light was off ; all good.


but my second vision 1100mah it just red flashes red.... instead of alternating with a green flash it just blinks off and stays red...
the white light on the battery itself is still on....

but its been on charge for about three hours; and not only is it at the {beginning of charge...}
it isn't even flashing green....; which i thought was how it started charging from empty...

i've cleaned/dryed all the connections... but it just doesn't seem to be charging up...
luckily i've got another charger; so if nothing happens in the next couple of hours i can test that out....

but this is kinda odd..... hope the battery isn't broken???
only had it a few days..

OMG!
I could've written this myself!

(I reckon this is a problem w/certain batches of these- I even read that the silver ones are the most likely to screw up like this!!!)

I've been having the SAME problem w/mine for about 3 weeks. At first, I was blaming my clearomizers (I use T2 & Boge F17- mostly T2)- sometimes unscrewing the mouthpiece will loosen the wick. Even ended up throwing one out!

I've dried mine w/rice, popped up the center connector, charged it on 2 different chargers & even used each charger in the car & in the house.

Looking back over the past month, it's been happening, but I haven't noticed because I use 2 others (a regular 1100 eJoy & a cheap 950 from a gas station when I was desperate). I THOUGHT I was having to charge it more, but decided that I wasn't paying attention.

It's got where it only works for an hour or so, if that long, before it the white light starts flashing incessantly. I KNOW juice gets in my batteries- but I really try to be diligent about getting it out & usually before it 'soaks' the battery, I can tell it's not 'hitting right' so I can usually blow it out before it floods.
Either way, I use the same cartos & clearos on ALL 3 batteries & my other 2 are older, but my most expensive one is now my crappiest. And I LOVED the clouds I could get with it!

There's a whole thread on here about it- http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/gotvapes/386930-vision-spinner-problems.html Page 7 has a link to a video about taking an ego apart- maybe that'll help. Plus there's some other tricks & good advice to use.

Luckily, I bought mine from a local vendor & he guarantees all batteries for 3 months (all cartos for 1 month). But, until I get over there, I'm stuck w/a one-temperature-fits-all battery & my other cheap variable that has hot cinnamon flavor on it (thanks to my sis).
~~~BTW- hot cinnamon & cotton candy are NOT a good mix!

Good luck! Be sure to read that thread!

I have this same issue with the same type of battery (although it's debranded). Very bizarre indeed, it works fine with my JoyeTech eGo batteries though. >.>

I found that some of my batteries were damaged using clone EVOD clearos. I think the contact was too long and pushed in the contact on the battery. Compare one that works side by side with it. Mine was pretty obvious.

Yep this is certainly weird. The battery has been "charging" since long before my last post, and the only thing that happened was that the charger LED went green, the battery light flashed a few times, stopped, and now its light is off and the charger LED is back to red.

Anyone else experiencing this specific oddity?

Oh... uh... ok I think for the meantime I can scratch that since I just looked over and noticed the charger LED is now green... Ummm... So I am a little scared of these Vision batteries in my experience thus far.
