GMetz Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hello fellow vapers. I have had a heck of a time finding ANY info on the eGo usb and need some help. I have the usb battery that charges with usb and can be vaped with or without it plugged in.. A little bit ago, I went to use it and the button would flash 3 time with no fire to the carto. The battery I know was fairly full in charge but I went ahead and plugged it in... same thing.. flashes 3 times and nothing.. Another weird thing, is when I screw a carto onto battery , it also flashes 3 times when contact is made to the carto... Any ideas anyone? I hope it isn't dead because I have had it close to a month with minimal to average use and have had no problems untill now.. Another question .. I have 2 other eGo usb batteries that I need to put back together and solder a wire back onto the board to put it back together.. problem is I have no way of telling exactly where one of the wires go.. Does anyone have or know where a diagram may be if there is one . I really don't want to junk them when all it was, was a wire come unsoldered when I accidentally dropped it one time and came off.. THANKS for helping the forum noob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijmin Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I had the same issue with the button flashing 3 times. With mine it was because I got juice in the button. I was able to resolve the issue by blowing out the button with canned air. Eventurally it failed again because of over dripping and getting too much juice in the battery. I think your battery is shorting out. Sorry I have no input on your second question. I never pulled on apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcquinn Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Are you using low resistance or dual coil?That might be doing it if you are over drawing the current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonHitThingWithRock Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 i've had that flashing problem before when using cheap cartomizers, but not with boge's or smoktek's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjradik Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 usually the flashing means the battery cannot give enough power to the carto that is 'requesting it'.... I know if I take a looooooog draw, like 10 seconds... my battery will 'yell' at me by flashing... telling me.... 'hey stop drawing all my power, I have no more to give'... lol... I'll stop for a few seconds, then just continue.... if you are getting the flashing right away, I bet the battery is shorting out, OR just has no life left, and is a dud....
