My boyfriends brother gave me a vape. he didn't want it anymore because he didn't use it. it worked great for a while. on Sunday my boyfriend was using it and it stopped working and blinked 10 times. we decided that it was probably dead and to charge it for 10 to 20 minutes. after charging it worked for about a minute and then started blinking 10 times. we took the battery out a little to see if it was that. even with the battery out, it still blinked 10.yesterday after not using it for about 3 days it worked for about 2 minutes. then stopped working and blinking 10 times. i tried a thing i saw somewhere online. to plug the battery in for a couple seconds and take it out. it worked for a minute without the juice holder.. thing..? and i even heard it start to boil or whatever it does. before i put the top part on i was even able to turn it off and back on! i was really excited that i wouldn't have to get a new one. but after a couple of seconds, it stopped working and blinked 10 times. i didn't even have a chance to put the drip tip on. i would really like to repair it and not buy a new one. if it cannot be fixed then i guess i have no choice.

It might be that you aren't charging it long enough. Try letting it charge for an hr or 2. If the light on the charger is red when you take it off then it still needs to charge. Not sure what type it is but my ego battery needs to charge for at least 3-4 hrs

I think the 10 blinks is the warning that the battery is really just about dead; they only work for about 100 to 300 recharges or something like that;
these batteries are not something to be messng about with so don't go experimenting or leavng a battery like that on charge unattended;
you posted just reminded me of a battery I have that had a problem; the blue light came on and was staying on forever; I put that in an old metal kettle days ago; just checked and at first the light was off; pressed the button and the blue light blinked exactly 10 times, and now the blue light is back on constantly again now. I'm leaving it in the old kettle for now; not about to leave that thing in a pile of possibly flamable garbage somewhere.
These batteries are a potential hazzard; I had one get hot in my hand and start smoking.
Respect your battery.

Usually with an EGO battery blinking 10 times, it means that the voltage from the battery is below 3.4 volts. this could be because of several reasons. First, make sure you charge the battery long enough. It usually takes a 2-6 hours to charge most EGO batteries.
Second, check the power supply of your charger. You might try a different USB source to make sure it works. If you're using a computer to charge, try using an AC to USB plug first. Make sure it's rated at 5v and 400MaH or better.
third, it could be a loose solder. The best way to check that is with a multimeter. If you set it to ohms, the current from the PCB to the battery should be next to nothing. Same with the pcb to the connectors themselves.
Lastly, it could just be the battery itself has reached it's end of life. Unless it's a $40 or more battery, it's not worth the time or resources to try and find a replacement EGO battery, I'd just get a new one.
Hope this helps.
the battery is charged. i have it plugged in and its green.
but can i order any battery?

A multimeter is a device used to check to see how much power your battery is providing. If you don't know how to use one, then you might want to find someone who can, since it requires a very steep learning curve. You might want to ask your brother if he knows.
Without knowlege of how to fix small electronics, the best thing you can do is to try a different charger to see if you have a defective charger. Other than that, it might just be time to get a new unit.
