Works, lights up, fully charged. But it wont produce any smoke, and my other battery works fine with the same coil. Any ideas on trouble shooting this?

Hey there Gabeunit101,
Sounds like a center post issue with the battery. Found video for a possible fix.
Center Pin Issue - Fixing a non firing eGo battery - YouTube
Have you tried lifting the center pin of your battery slightly with a small screwdriver?
Connection problem with the battery if the topper works on the other battery. First two posts likely nailed it. It can also be juice on the battery, or a threading problem on the battery. Be sure to not overtighten the topper on the battery. That'll knock that center pin down to non-working status quite often. Take a toothpick, run it around the center pin to release and lift. Usually, a five second fix, and you usually don't have to mechanically pull the pin up, it just pops up enough to make a good connection. Let us know if that works. Best to you and welcome to the Forum.
ill watch the video and see if that can do anything for me. i appreciate it and will report back. ive only had it maybe a month 
I had the same problem last week with an eGo.
Check your contact plate at the end of your batt with a multimeter to make sure you're getting voltage. This will tell you if the battery's got a problem or if it's a contact issue. If you've got voltage, then the head on one of your tanks has pushed the contact plate down into the battery so it can't make contact with shorter reach heads. There are vids on this, essentially use a paper clip or your multimeter leads to dig into the rubber ring around the contact plate and pry it back up higher so the tank contacts can make contact. Don't screw your tanks on so tight, just snug them up.
If there's no voltage, then there's likely an internal problem with the battery.

im starting to think it might be an internal problem, which is lame considering ive had it for somewhere around 30 days. im gonna give it a good rinse and let it save. gonna be frustrated if that ends up being the problem and a virtually brand new battery just stops working.
it had a bit of goop in it, as long as its powered off it wouldnt affect anything. but that seems pointless to even try, once i got home i attemped to throw it on the charger and it wasnt even registering. dunno. might just be done.
I ran into a similar (same?) problem with my evod a few days ago. It took me a few hours to actually figure it out but my coil needed replacement. Not due to an electrical problem but the wick had burnt to the point where it couldn't absorb the liquid. All the sucking to get some vapor also had the effect of killing the 650 mAH battery before I could empty the tank so I thought I needed higher capacity batteries and bought a couple of 1000 mAH replacements. All for the price of a replacement coil.
Still, it's going to be great to have a couple of spare batteries when I'm away from the house all day.
