Ego c twist wires resolder

[Gangster dre]

Hey I'm gangster dre

Tryna fix ego c twist has positive lead & GND. When I got it the leads were still soldered to the board then I desoldered & attached longer leads. But I am confused as to how it solders on @ the other end. I have this little silver bullet piece that pops out the only thing I can think is that they solder to that but the positive & ground leads connecting to the same thing is sketchy to me. I don't wanna short it when I press the button. I've hypothesized that the positive lead goes on the side & it grounds @ the bottom ~because~ the side of the piece looks different or separate from the bottom. Bottom of the bullet piece sticks out then it has a collar of different/separate conductive material that leads up to & is part of the flat top where it makes contact w/ the bottom of the atomizer &, I guess, electrifies it. The on YouTube fixing the ego twist doesn't help me cuz she's replacing the button.

Yeah, it was mostly the button and top snapping off fixes on YouTube. You just playing around or can we point you to an inexpensive replacement?

If you don't understand what you're doing I suggest you just get another device. LOTS of energy in that battery you don't want to release by touching or connecting the wrong wires.

The bullet looking thing looks like the center of the 510/ego connection.

I'd agree on another device unless you can maybe get it looked at by a (knowledgeable) B&M that might be able to help you with the process. I am not prone to trying to fix my electronics myself, I know my limitations in that area. Is it still under warranty though?

I would stay away from that. It's pretty dangerous. Welcome to the board, and please try to stick around a while.

That "bullet" is your center pin, that part that touches the center pin of your tank/clearomozer, and it should be Positive. The other wire does not go near it, as it normally touches the casing to make the negative connection.

If you don't know where you took the wires off from, don't attempt it.

Omg. People are still resurrecting dead ego batteries! I haven’t bothered to mess with that for years and years. Totally not worth it unless you’re desperately strapped for cash or want to set yourself a challenge involving little fiddly plastic pieces. The buttons in particular tend to get lost. There’s a spring on em and they tend to fly across the room when you try to get the board out. Finding the replacement batteries and getting them to fit back in the case is also a notorious pain. You cannot strip the plastic or allow it to be damaged or you will short the thing (this is not the easiest thing and can get pyrotechnic. It’s why people are using the phrase “dangerous”) not to mention you’re going to put 4 hours of work and ten bucks in parts into saving a $7 battery.

This project falls into the difficult dangerous maddening, and pointless categories. I do not recommend.

Have fun though and try not to die

And while your ordering a replacement, buy a couple extra just incase...you always need back ups

I don't vape I'm not buying a replacement I'm just tryna fix it for somebody. I can very clearly tell the manufacturer did not intend for this to be repaired. If someone knows where the ground wire goes then I can fix it and it wouldn't be very hard for me to do.

The ground (negative) wire typically solders to the housing and positive wire to the center pin on the 510/ego connection.

I award most helpful sentiment to you.

there is a schematic in this thread :
Anybody got a wiring schematic for Ego Twist?

and maybe this will help ?

Aight I will try & ground it to the inside of the housing. I will also, first, see if I can ground it some place else that is more accessible.

It really doesn't take much for these to just die. The mosfets go at the blink of an eye.
Everything seems just fine and then blink, blink, blink, blink, blink !

Why do I suspect you are a teen and the owner of the device is female?

So long as you understand this is a really bad idea. Do NOT screw with replacing or even pulling out the battery. If you’ve already pulled the battery I wash my hands of this. You may look up “results of lithium metal fire" for reasons why. That crud killed a teacher and several students in my home town when I was a kid and While I am beginning to suspect the results of said fire might be Darwinian in effect, I don’t do assisted suicide.

The ground wire grounds to the case the hot wire solders to the back of the pin. If there’s still any charge in the battery you can detect the hot with a multimeter. If you don’t have a multimeter step away from the device. You have absolutely no business messing with this stuff. In fact, just do that. Your assumption that this will get you into said lady’s good graces is probably erroneous anyway.
