Vision Spinner II HELP!

[TheRhetorician]

I got a Vision spinner II and I'm on the last straw with this ....... thing. It won't charge half the time, and when I try and hit it it'll shut down even though it's 100% charged.
I'll have it at 3.3v and then hit it, the light illuminates for less than a second and then it shuts off. I then have to plug it into a charger and take it off a few seconds later to kind of reset it and then it'll either work and be totally fine or I have to repeat that process over and over again. For something so expensive it's coming up to be a piece of garbage. I just want to know how can I help it not be so ......ed? I'm fill frustration as I've tried so many different things and this thing is brand new. It'll work fine for awhile and then do this and it bothers me so much because I need my nicotine.

Almost sounds like you got a bad device. My spinner2 works great. Usually charge mine til it stops then disconnect it and reconnect it to charger again to finish it off. They do have a short circuit cut off. If you have a bad coil they wont fire or will shut off quickly. I can build low ohm coils (1.5 ohm) and get lots of battery life out of mine. Even running higher voltage.

What ohm coil are you using in the atomizer attached to the Spinner? If it is to low a resistance the unit will shut down.

As for charging try turning it off first and if that doesn't help connect it to your charger, wait until the light turns off, showing full charge, then disconnect and reconnect it. It should then charge to 100%.

I've experienced eGo batteries doing exactly this when they sense what they think is a short, or too low resistance. What is your atty resistance?

Stop firing it until you figure out what the issue is. If it is resistance that is too low and you burn out the safety circuitry the battery may vent and that could be dangerous.

It won't charge half the time

How do you know this? Is the charger light not lighting up? How do you get it charge again after this happens?
