Carto works with one batt but not others

[patrickmurphy]

Anyone else here had a situation where a certain cart stopped working with a certain battery, and both parts still work fine with everything else?

This is the first I've run into this: I have a relatively new RY4 cart that used to work on at least a couple of batteries. It stopped working on one of the batteries. It works on all the other ones... and that battery works with other cartos, just not that one. And that was the one paired with it most often.

yes I have the same problem. I figured out that if I put a pin in the thread end of the carto and wiggle it out a little sometimes it will work again. I use a 510 so if it is a 808 then maybe wiggle the battery end a little.

I have one battery that a lot of the cartos won't work on. Take a small screwdriver or paperclip and go all the way around the metal circle in the middle of the carto and gently lift as you go around - this will raise the connector (middle ring). This has always worked for me. I guess my one particular battery's connector is not high enough. I would rather pry on the carto then on the battery in case I break it - I would only be out a carto - don't want to break the battery connector.

Hope that helps!

OMG, you're all right! It worked just as you said. Thanks.

I've read the excellent post (with great pics) on this board about how to "fix dead cartos" this way and was waiting to try it when I got a dead carto, but since this one wasn't really 'dead', I wouldn't have thought to do this.

Glad we could help! Happy vaping!
