a problem with silver bullet

[misplacedsooner]

my son has a chrome sb that worked fine til yesterday when i changed his carto on his tank. the carto works fine on my provari but is getting nothing from the sb. i put my 3.0 carto on his sb and it works as well as you could expect 3.0 to work on a 3.7v. could this be a center pin problem? ive never experienced this before, help please.
also tried a vivi tank on the sb and nothing?

I remember reading there was an issue reported in a thread on this sub-forum where someone using one of the earlier versions of the Vivi Nova had an issue of pushing the center pin of the Silver Bullet into the mod. The connector of the older VN's was too long. I believe cddc, the maker of the Silver Bullet recommended taking an instrument to pry the center pin out further so that it can make connection correctly with a juice delivery device.

This might be the issue here. Try browsing older threads to find this problem and the specific solution.

Edit: I went 3 pages back here and did find a similar issue; it's not the thread I was referring to above though.

thanks bad, i will check it out. thinking it could possibly be the carto itself too not making the contact. i need to do some reading.

so I had the very same problem with mine, you have to pull the center pin UP on the silver bullet for it to make a connection. I tried using a 510 connection converter so I could use a clearomizer and I thought I had killed my SB.... then realizing that center pin wasn't making a connection I used a pair of tweezers to gently pull up, and wooolah! it worked! but every time I change it to something else, it stops working. as soon as I pull that pin up again, it works.

should of titled this problem with a carto on silver bullet. i pried up the positive center post on the carto with a pin lightly and bingo!!! still wonder why the vivi didnt fire on it though

I've had issues with a few things making contact with the SB. It kinda fees like the pin in my SB is lower than other mods i have. Is it really loose enough for a pair of tweezers to pull it up? Is there any danger of pulling it up too much? Can it cause a short or anything?

It's important to gently pull it up just a hair or two, otherwise you could break the connection to the positive wire. You won't cause a short unless you tear the rubber/silicone sleeve that surrounds the pin. I just go around the outside gently rocking it up a bit.
