Is my clearomizer bad?

The charger seems to be working fine but I do have another one with today's shipment of batteries so I look forward to trying that. I have been definitely crossing my fingers that that might be the issue, but I'm not very hopeful. At this point I have to think that it is more likely the charger is dead than the 3 batteries. Now that I think about it... totally possible the first battery to die was half charged then the charger died out, second battery got discharged on the charger so it died, then the 3rd battery just never had a chance. C'mon big money, no whammy! I'll be one happy dude if I go from having 2 batteries that I assume are going to be dead by tomorrow to 5 fully functional ones. Will be reporting my findings later....

So far the twist is still a paper weight and seems to be a victim of the Kanger death punch. I'll have to wait till Saturday till I try the other batteries.

Well, I think I finally got to the bottom of it. I pulled apart one of the batteries and the wire that connects the post to the circuit board was busted and curled up like a pig's tail. I assume that I may have been a little overzealous tightening on the first two batteries. The third battery I'm thinking was just a dud as I was very careful with it and didn't seem to show any life whatsoever. Makes sense now why the first two batteries would light up but not fire any atomizer. Checked the exposed wire with a meter and it was spot on. If anyone is still following this thread...Is this common with ego batteries? Seems like the post should be fixed in position so that it doesn't spin and break the wire.

Egos are pretty reliable, not that there couldn't be a few Ego duds out there. The odds of getting duds, I'd imagine, are sure to go up if were talking about Ego knock-offs though.
