Battery DOA brand new

[Fud]

It was a replacement sent for another one that started to burn and almost melt until i plucked out the atomizer real quick, then it stopped and was dead after. The new one came so I charged it up stuck it in and absolutly nothing on the draw, nada. Even though the led light went on no vap at all. It's a flaw in the battery. I looked at it up close with a magnifying glass and the little brass washer in the batt seemed to be too far down. These are not mix and match parts either, all are from the same manufactuer.

I took out the tiny screwdriver set, they kind used for watches and gently wiggled the top washer in the batt and with a slight lift. It seems to have rubber on the sides for insulation. It worked great after that but i think it's a flaw in the design, Either the threads on the atty are too short or the thread on the batt are too long to make solid contact.

I'm wary of trying to file the end of the atomizer down a bit because that can screw up the threads and very difficult to fix if it won't screw in after without cross threading,

There must be some kind of small brass washer that can be put in and centered to make it a solid contact and not move around.

Sorry i cant provide any serial model numbers as there are none on the cart, the atty or the batt at all anywhere just the company name and that's it.

I suppose i can edit this later in all three parts and take a pic in macro mode with a ruler right next to the parts in mm.

Try this tutorial by Breakfastchef. Very simple and ingenious.

This sometimes happens if the battery is screwed to tight into the charger. The next time you put it on charge, try to screw it in gently, and stop when the charge light shows contact.

Fud, you are right, I want to tell about one battery I had, an NPro, that wouldn't work either. I could see nothing wrong with it, so in frustration I tried to tighten it more, and it did! It had just a tiny flaw in the threads, felt tight, but I got more than another quarter turn. It bothered the whole time it lasted, but worked fine after a little more turn. It's also possible that putting it in the charger could push that center back a ways, but it's made to slide back. There is a sort of spring under it. Try pulling it up a bit, carefully, as it will pull out easily. The thing about the chargers though is that you have to screw them in until the red light comes on, so kinda hard to guage that.

In the charger, I assumed it had to have a hard contact to charge instead of looking at the light. This is what the gear looks like, no serial numbers anywhere so i don't know what is even compatible with it.



on edit i forgot square brackets are supposed to be used for html.

I could be wrong but looks like a "mini" generically speaking. Try pulling that little disk up on the battery just a bit, a fine paper clip with a tiny bit of a hook should do, and just ease it up a bit and see if it helps. See if it lights up when it seats properly, usually one or two flashes when it hits home.

What model is that?

Is it an M401/M402/M403?

M401 attys and M402 batteries(vice versa) are not always compatible, and result with the same problem your having.

I'll bet my panties, it's a DSE103.

Threads are opposite on the 'M' series. Battery had extended male thread, and atty has female thread.

I think your right. After looking at the battery, atty, it's a little too fat and the threads are wrong...but really hard to tell by pictures.

Although, it was stated that there was no stamp/serial number. DSE is pretty good about stamping their products because of their guarantees.

May be a generic.
