atomizer not firing on reo, fires on everything else

[YoMa!]

Hi all, I am using vapage hybrid atomizers on my reo grande. Every now and then one will stop working on the reo but fires on everything else. My other atomizers work fine. Any ideas on what to check? Thanks

the center pin in the reo in kind of lower than most other 510s imo.. sometimes i have to pull the pin out a little bit on the atty to make a connection. dont know if you can do that on a vapeage atty.. most can if you wiggle it out a very little bit being very careful not to pull it out too much..

Center contact on the 510 side of the rba is it slightly proud of the 510 threads? Every time I've had bad connections or firing issues it's one of three things.

• dirty contacts on the battery spring or firing pin
• loose screws holding the coil
• 510 positive pin not protruding enough.

Thanks, I just tried that. I tried different heights and it does not seem to make a difference. The ones that work are actually pretty far in. Very strange.

you are sure it works on another device (atty?)

It works fine on my provari, SVD, and twist.

Sorry dont know what it could be..

Thank you, It's just so weird.

Perhaps once it's on the REO and you are holding down the fire button, listen closely as you wiggle the atty around on the REO. If it starts to fire, then maybe it's just loose or not seated properly. Just a guess.....can't hurt to try. Hope it gets rectified for ya.

Before I got the RM2s, I used up some Vapage hybrid atomizers laying around; never had problems with them.
Does any other atomizer work on the Reo ?
Is the subohm kit installed on the Reo ?
Applying some Noalox to the positive battery connector (under the button) may solve your problem.

Really strange to the point its doesn't make sense . I can see the atomizer with the center post not protruding far enough not working . All I can say is send it in I will figure it out . Send in one of the atomizers that dont work as well

Thanks again for responding everyone. I have tried wiggling the atomizer while it is on the reo. They are too tight to move at all. It is only a couple of them that do not work, the others I have work fine. I used a couple for a bit and then they just quit. I found my vmod and quit ones even work on it. What I am going to do is just put those aside for the vmod. I do not know about the subohm kit. I have only had the reo a few months. It isn't a battery issue. Just odd.

Thanks redeyedancer, I am loving my reo and do not want to part with it even for a few days. It's really all I use now. Please do not take my query as a complaint, I could not be happier and will probably get another one before too long as back up. I think it must be some oddity in the atomizers. I just wanted to see if there was something I had not thought of to get them working again.

This is been the issue for me when it has happen.

I thought the pin may be the problem but moving it does not make a difference. Some of the ones that work are much farther in and farther out.

Is the atty screwing in all the way? I recently had a problem with my Silver Vein grand where one particular atty wouldn't make contact and then noticed it wouldn't screw down flush with the catch cup. The atty worked and screwed all the way into my other, (older), grand just fine though. Problem was solved as the 510 connector was just a smidgen too tight on the SV. Bought a 7m x .5 bottom tap and chased the threads and now the atty works like a champ on it.... I wouldn't suggest just anyone do this as the gasket might get crushed if you go too far into the 510 connector, but I have 25+ yrs experience with cutting tools and fasteners... Was a walk in the park for me...

Good point muzichead, I will get my son to take a look at them the next time I am over there.

I had also purchased a re-threading die in case it was a problem with the atty itself. When the die went right on the atty I knew it was the 510 connector.
