Battery Issue? Riva 510 750 mah

[bic247]

im charging up my battery that came with my kit when i bought it and i charged it for 8 hours, unscrewed my carto from my other batter (kit came with 2) and i screwed it in just the same as i did on my first battery, its a manual battery, so i push the button 3 times as usual to activate it and as i go to push in the button to vape it just randomly shuts off sometimes itll work sometimes itll just work for a split second vape a lil bit and poof its out again, unsure whats causing the issue i know its not the carto, anyone here that can help me? if i need to provide more info i will be happy to.

-seems like its not making contact, how can i fix this? or is my battery done for already?
also i know there isnt any juice on the connections or the threads, i just dunno what could be the issue

Does the light go out when it shuts off randomly or just no current randomly ?

Try another carto/atty. Sometimes when you put a little extra pressure on when screwing an atomizer onto a battery the center contact on the atty gets pushed back. If you look at the contacts from the side, the center one should stick up noticeably from the outer ring.

If not, bend a jumbo paper clip to extend one leg and use a pliers to create a tiny right angle on the end. Stick that in the center hole of the atty and use it to work the center contact out a little. Back and forth motions while applying a pulling pressure will do it. You just want a millimeter or so extension of the center contact.

light shuts out and current stops completely, and i know its not the carto it works very well on my other battery, and ive used a different carto with the one that doesnt work right as well

Sounds like a bad switch. Contact your vendor for more support on this or even a warranty.
