Some Evods causing eGo battery to blink

[greenpang]

I have eGo-T/C batteries and T2 and Evod clearos.

So far I've found the Evods much more frustrating than the T2s (beyond having less capacity) for several reasons:
- unscrewing them from the batteries, but accidentally unscrewing the wrong part and getting juice everywhere
- getting juice in the mouthpiece and needing to f with them forever, blowing from both ends, to get the juice out

I have 6 Evods, and the above problems have happened to two of them. For one of them, it happened on Saturday (two days ago), and that particular Evod still will not work on any battery (but others will). I have cleaned it out as much as possible and it seems to be completely dry now, but whenever I screw it onto an eGo and press the button, the button blinks several times. It won't let me vape it!

What's going on?

*bump!*

This is still a problem, and I really want to vape the flavors that are in the malfunctioning Evods. :\

Anyone know what causes this blinking or how to fix it? Or is there a better place for this question?

You're putting on the battery too far, too tight.
It is flattening the white washer that separates the two ends of the coil wire.
This can also be causing your flooding problem.

I just tighten them on far enough so that they don't come off in my pocket.

If the light flashes three times when you push the button, it’s shorted out. If you have a multimeter you can check continuity through the coil. If there’s no continuity, it’s time for a new coil unless you’re up for taking it apart and rebuilding the coil.

You beat me to it. You might be right.
