I have the X6 when I first got it with the original charger it worked fine it blinked when it charged and charged fine I've had it on charge over two hours and it's not coming on I quit smoking and am super stressed and need my nicotine it's a new charger I just bought I haven't had the X6 charged since July and I'm frustrated I can't use it or get it to charge at all when I connect the charger it will blink red three times (the battery not the charger the charger stays lite green)

howdy - and welcome

not familiar with that one in particular, but a couple things i would check would be clean the contacts (q tip, little rubbing alcohol - clean contact points on x6 and inside threads) and make sure that the center pin (firing pin) on the x6 is contacting the charger - if you push down on it with something non conductive (the qtip) it should push down a little then spring back up... couple minutes for alcohol to evaporate, then reconnect charger

when not connected to charger, does it light up at all?

Sorry brother DC that us bad advice. The x6 does not have a spring loaded 510. If you use an atty with a longer 510 pin and tighten it all the way down the 510 won't come back up. Bill one of the people I got turned into vaping bought an X6 and had that problem with a CE4 clearomiser.

Now to the OP. you will probably have to replace the X6 unfortunately.

Either the battery is dead or the 510 has been pushed down and the charger no longer makes contact.

Thanks for the heads up, brother! Was hoping someone with experience with x6 would come along - you rock!

I seriously can't kill mine - paid $8 for it at Fast Tech over a year ago and
have dropped it, done just about anything to it and it still works. It's very
cheaply made and the threading is almost like tin foil, you have to thread
very very carefully. I sometimes have to take a small tiny screwdriver and
gently go around the edges and push the center post back up so it
makes contact with the topper or charger. Many many times it will fail to
make contact and I have to do this. I don't use it often but probably 25%
of the time I have to push the center post back up. Try that, and also cleaning
it all with a q-tip as suggested (the charger and the batt) won't hurt. Good luck.

Well thank you brother DC. I appreciate the kind words.

I also used an X6 with my Goblin Mini.;-)

By the way there are X6 batteries and things that look like X6 batteries.

My X6 would fire down to .8 resistance where I like my vape.

Destiny an employee at the UPS STORE where I get my mail. She wanted to go RTA so i got a Kayfun together for her.

I built the Kayfun to 1 ohm. It worked perfectly on my X6 but would not work at all on hers, and she got an Istick 30.
