510 atty help

[silkyfurz]

I'm having trouble with my Riva. The batt is newly charged, the atty is clean and dry, but when I put on a cart I get nothing. When I hit the manual button, it fires up. This atty won't work on any of my 510s.

I thinking if the atty were dead it wouldn't light up when I hit the button. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks

Do you mean the battery lights ups? The battery will light up regardless of whether or not the atty is dead. I think yours is dead. You should contact your supplier to see if they can replace it for you.

Best of luck,
Tim

My dead attys don't lightup. If it is open circuit, then no voltage gets to the coil

I meant the atty "lights up" - burns red and sizzles when I press the manual button, but won't vape when I put a cart on. The atty doesn't work on any of the 510s I've tried it on, but it fires and gets hot when there's no cart. Wouldn't fire when I dripped either.

It's either still wet from cleaning. flooded or still really dirty IMHO.

try dripping a few drops of juice on the atty and see what happens.

Can you give a little background? How long since cleaning, what method, etc?

I've had a couple refuse to give vapor even tho they were getting hot. I'm still not sure exactly why, but both started drawing too easily at the same time. One I tossed and the second I ripped the bridge out of, cleaned & dry burned. That one works ok now, but is a little "touchy" to run. It wants to be just so wet and no more. Not always simple without a wick. I keep it as a backup or use it while I am cleaning the one I am vaping to oblivion as an endurance test.

Anyway, how did you arrive at this situation?
