Rereading your earlier posts, i assume you've used this battery with your nautilus, if so it increases the likelihood of the pin having been pushed down by quite a bit, as the nautilus's seem to have a bit longer 510 than most.

Did you try the pin fix in the video i linked yet?
Yes it produces vapor, and no I didnt try the pin thing yet because I am not sure if thats the problem and its a little complicated, logic can you just type out the link instead?

Ok so we know the battery works, that means that theres a decent chance that theres either an issue with the charger or an issue with it not connecting properly, thats why we try to pin fix

Its not complicated, it takes literally 20 seconds, you get a small tool (toothpick, tweezers, screwdriver, whatever) and ever so gently lift up (working all the way around around the pin) on the circular pin INSIDE the 510 connection. Even if it doesn solve your problem, it won't effect the battery in any permanent (re: damaging way). See the video i linked earlier, its worth the 2 minutes.

It's nearly ALWAYS the first place to start/first fix to try when your having issues with an ego/spinner not firing/charging.

Until you try that fix and we determine it either works or doesn't there's not much more help that can be offered.

Hmmm, did the contact move up a noticeable amount? Sometimes it will take 2 trys to move it up enough (dont go crazy though).

You have a B&M nearby (or possibly a friend vaper) where you could get easy access to another ego-style charger so you could try the battery on a confirmed working charger?
 
Where do you have the charger plug in to? I use a iPhone charger base that I plug directly into the wall.
I had the same issue when I first got my Vision Spinner. It was frustrating trying to get it to charge. It was doing the exact same thing as you described. What I did was left it on the charger for a little while and when I went back to it, I tap the power button once and it worked. It took me several tries after that to get the charging to initialize. What did the trick for me was discovering that I had to "tap" once on the power button. Not press and hold.
I don't know what else to suggest, I hope you have another battery to use in the mean time. This is the same reason I bought a spare battery (itaste CLK)
By the way, I had to get my spinner replaced a day after I got it because I believe it was defective.
But when I tried to charge the new battery, I had the same experience. Soon after, I managed to get it to work as I described earlier.
Good luck. I feel your frustration and disappointment. Don't give up!

No my brother has a halo g6 charger which is not compatible with it, this is really frustrating and it didnt give up that much when pulling it up

I am using my computer and my iphone wall adapter outlet to plug the charger into, neither work. And I have no other battery, it was hell not being able to vape while this thing came in the mail I cant just order another one for it to take days again
