I pushed on it and it is right where it should be and there is just a little play from side to side. I pushed down on it and it pops right back up but it still doesn't work.

That's a good sign


If I had it in my hand, I would test it with a multimeter to see if it was putting out any voltage.

take apart the Atlantis, take the coil out and push the pin out as far as possible without actually taking it out. screw the bottom piece ONLY back on till its snug, the screw the coil on till its snug. do a quick button press and see if it fires. if it does, put the tank on and vape away! if not...well, I'm out of ideas. lol

I have loved this one but just the other day it stopped working. I am looking into a Kanger Subox Mini kit or a Sigelei 100W. :D
Here is my opinion on this......I wouldn't get the Subox kit. Get the Sigelei instead. The Subox is nice, however, it is a fixed pin. And because the Subtank Mini 510 connector is a hair longer than other tanks (i.e. the Atlantis), once you put the Subtank Mini on it the 510 pin gets pushed down far enough where it will not detect any other tanks. The only way to get the Subox pin back up is to void the warranty by removing the stickers to get access to the screws, unscrew the device and push the pin back up from the inside.

Tried and still no luck. Thank you though! :)

Thank you! I really loved the Sigelei a lot. I had a 30W and it was amazing! :)

if you do go the sigelei route, there are some awesome deals out there on them right now - i want to say i saw a sig 100w+ for under $50 (of course, you would also need batteries and a charger, but still a really nice deal)
That is an awesome deal! What online shops do you trust? I am so new to this. lol

keep in mind, if you go with a dual battery box mod, you will want to get 4 batteries, and pair them up in married pairs as well as an external charger (like the nitecore I2)... illumn.com is who i generally go to for batteries (and they have great prices on chargers too) - would recommend them, also - i know there are a couple others that members here recommend also (RTD is one, I believe)... for that box, I would suggest either the sony vtc4 battery or the samsung 25r

I have had this happen on a couple of my older mods. See if there is an o ring around the center pin. If so, go to your local hardware store and pick up some o rings, I believe they are 000 sized. Gently pry up the center pin with a small flathead screw driver and remove the old o ring. Place the new o ring on the tip of a pair of hemostats and open the hemostats to spread the o ring enough to roll it off and push it on to the center pin. This should help to keep your center pin positioned and prevent juice from leaking down into your device. I would buy another mod anyway so you have a decent back-up device but I know the subox has the same problem with the center pin. The Sigelei 75 is pretty good and a good size, I love mine, but if you don't want to buy batteries try the I stick 30.
