A2 Bulli-Smoker Stopped working.

[JesterDev]

Just bought it a few months ago and it recently stopped working. Checked it with a voltmeter and it shows only 0.03. Tried it on various models of e-cigs, and still nothing. Rewired it several times, took the screws out and cleaned everything up, and I get the same results.

Regular attys work fine.

I'm using the stock wire, and when it does work the wire breaks all the time on both my Prodigy 1.2 and my Buzz, but that's another issue all together.

I always seem to have issues with it. When it did work I always had to move the wires around to get it to work, but when I screwed the top back on it would fail most of the time.

Any suggestions? Are there any other repairable attys on the market?

MY guess is that there's a short somewhere inside it. Maybe the positive centerpost of the connector? I had to pull mine out a bit to get it to make contact when I got it.

My suggestion, email Cetin at Bulli-Smoker. He is the builder/seller of these atomizers. He should be able to either tell you what is broken, warranty it, or tell you how to fix it. If you do contact him, would really be interested in afollow up on this thread as I have two of them. I have never had a problem and love them both.

Take it step by step.

What is the resistance with no coil? It should show as open circuit. If not, there is a fault within the unit and you should return it to Cetin.

If the unit shows open circuit with no coil, then what is the resistance with the coil in place but without the outer casing on? If this is zero, the end of the wire that is attached to the wider terminal is somehow touching the body. Check with a magnifying glass.

If this is OK but the resistance drops when you put the case on, it is likely to be a piece of the wire from the wider terminal or the end of the coil nearest the wider terminal touching the body.

To be honest, the workmanship of Cetin at Bulli is second to none. I have had one for some months now and have had zero problems with it, and I don't know anybody else who has either. You won't find another repairable atomiser that is as well made as the Bulli. I've ordered a second one to use with a different coil winding for my pass through.

Hope you find out what is wrong.

Did you get this figured out? How close together are you spacing the wrappings of the coil, usually the reason a coil will break is becasue it made contact with another part of a coil, try spacing your coil further apart. Curious to know if you contacted Cetin, he is a great dude and will most certainly help you. There is another repairable atty but it is for dripping only and was not for me.
