Dang!!.....really liked the thing too.

Was working ok..then I think the battery got weak so I put it on the charger overnight. Hasn't worked since.

The thing will flash the button-light at you..but no smoke. It's not locked either as I checked that...tried a different cartomizer and same thing...

Any insight as to what's wrong with my unit(eGo-C twist)??

Double check the contacts on the battery to make sure they're clean. If needed , get in there with a q-tip and give it a good scrub.
Also, clean the contacts on the charger.

IIRC, a flashing light on those when the button is pressed is either a low battery or a short has been detected.

Could be that your charger has crapped out as well. Might be worth taking a trip to a B&M to see if that's the case. Unless you have someone with another charger you can try.

sounds like the contact from the tank isnt touching the battery contact. Went to a local shop's tasting bar and half the tanks wouldnt work on any of the batteries they had out for taste testing or either of mine.

blinking means theres some error, most likely things are a loose wire or a blown output fet
youre probably looking at needing a replacement unit

Must be my wall-plug adapter shit the bed....I just cleaned the contacts of the battery and cartomizer and retried..no good...plugged the thing back in wall...no good....swapped a different adapter onto the charger and plugged it in a bit and this seems to have done the trick. I got the red light on the charger and charged it a few minutes and she works now...so back on the charger and it's charging now.

I guess it wasn't anything more sinister than not getting a charge after I expended all the power....

Happens all the time with those usb chargers..

Remember the rule. "one is none, and two is one". Get yourself another spare just in case.

Yeh...I was thinking about getting an entire 'nuther system...battery/cart-tank...charger and all.

Was out of smokes this morning...'no big deal' I think as I'll just huff on my 'hooka-pipe'  but NO!...The 'hooka' failed me...I do feel better now as $80 worth of gear I've only owned for three weeks is still working...was about to dig out my e-cigs and see if any still had a charge

Consider the innokin itaste MVP.

Excellent device for the money, and uses just a standard micro USB cable to charge. The MVP has a 2600mah battery, so more than enough to get you through the day (Or days) before you need a re-charge.
