The centerpin on the spheroid is adjustable....wouldnt work all the way in to all the way out. So I used one of my clearomizers on the ego adapter to see if it was a problem with the spheroid. Again, the eleaf wouldnt even fire with the ego adapter and clearo attached to(wouldnt fire AT ALL, snug or partially screwed on) it either. The problem with the connection wasnt there when I first bought the eleaf. I always screwed it on finger tight and snug. I observed the degradation of the connection over the course of a week of owning the eleaf. First few days, no problem, then after 3 to 5 days, I had to screw it on more snug than usual to get a connection, then after that, it would only make a connection while only slightly screwed on. This made me came to the conclusion, that the eleaf connection got depressed a hair, when it was in that stage where it would only fire when screwed on more snug than usual, then got depressed, and for whatever reason, would only fire when partially screwed on, which makes no sense I know, but its what I observed. I have other mods and batteries, and my atomizer plus my clearos on the adapter work on the other batteries which made me zero in on the fact that it was a problem with my eleaf. I have already ordered another Eleaf, but the fact that other people also seem to have the same problem and the fact that my other mods and ego connections dont have the same problem, lead me to believe its a problem with the design or quality of the pin on the eleaf.
Some of you are lucky that your istick and atomizer work flawlessly together, but just to inform the public, it seems that some atomizers and istick combos might be suseptible to malfunctioning the pin on the elead isitck. And mine and other peoples experiences is something to note for those who are thinking about buying one. So take it with a grain of salt. Again, at this price point, I am giving eleaf a second shot, as I already ordered a second one. ill let you all know how it goes after it arrives.
