Cant inhale after screwing on battery, help?

That is a insulator to keep the center pin from shorting out against the 510 threaded side. If you look at the threads of the 510 connector there will be 2 air holes right above the threads. That insulator need to be inserted into the center of the connector and pushed up until it is above those air holes, otherwise it blocks the airflow when you attach it to your battery. If you need to you can pull out that center pin (it is just held in by that insulator and sometimes another one at the top right under the coil) put in the insulator and push the center pin back through.

I got the center pin out and put the insulator in and I don't have enough strength to put the pin back through. Should I just cut it so that it is above those air holes since i can't do it the other way?

Even if I could push it back through I don't think the insulator would sit below those air holes. A lot of compression would have to happen to make that be the case.

I have never had to do this. I rotate through 7 vivi nova's all week and have never used any type insulator in the 510 connection. I love mine they just always work. I have no rubber gaskets of any type on my 510 connection. Are you talking about taking the 510 pin itself apart as there should be no need to. Have you tried to screw the battery into the 510 well?

I am wondering why you are taking the 510 pin apart? Here is a vivi nova you fill it and screw it onto the battery and it works. Vision Vivi Nova Tank System - Plastic Tube

That is the system I have and yet it is not working, which is the hole point of this thread. Like the title says, when I screw on my tank to the battery i can't intake any air. We have whittled it down to this rubber piece, which is apparently acting as an insulator. It is restricting the air flow once the tank is screwed onto the battery. HughDaHand suggested I take it apart to get the insulator to sit under the air holes so that it would not restrict the air flow.

I would suggest getting a new piece of equipment, a vivi nova is a simple operation. If there is airflow problem it is at the top connection.

I dont have the money to buy anything so if this is truly broken then I will probably just throw it all out.

I just dont get how this was working at one point and now all of a sudden its not.

My only solution at this point is to not have the insulator be there or to cut it so that it sits above the air holes.

Pm me and I will send you one that works.

What battery are you using?

Whoa! You rock Klynnn! We were just talking on another thread today how awesome ECFers are.

 

[waspelectra]

Oh no no, don't worry about it I'm just not going to bother. I loved vaping on this thing when it worked but now that it doesnt and I don't have the money for new parts or any liquid I guess thats my queue to quit altogether.

Thanks though and thanks for everyone trying to help me out.

No that isn't the way to go. I will send you a bottle of my home brew and a vivi nova that works. I am not kidding, but I will need your address. I have a soft spot for nova users.

Yes; the insulator is blocking the airholes; you just need to cut a millimetre off of it.
