Evolv-ing Thread

[SlickWilly]

There I go again, this happens to me all the time, I have to wonder if everyone else gets this or is it just me and I'm doing something wrong. Picked up a mod (one of those posted in the pics this morning) and the vape is weak, was fine when I set it down an hour ago. So I turn the atty back and forth a 1/4 turn and it comes back, I lost my ohm reading from a bad connection again. I know if I pull the atty, wipe the threads of both the atty and mod I'll see a little black come off the threads, this is common for me.

I made all my 510 connections tighter, I pulled the screw in the base of the mizers, cut a piece of 26 ga ni200 and made a little ring to slip over the screw so when I put it back on the screw now extends down a tad father, this makes it a tighter fit when I screw the atty onto a mod. Despite this, making the 510 connection tighter, I still loose connection and the board see's ohm's reading change and then my vape will drop off. I just deal with it when it happens but it bothers me and makes me wonder, am I the only one that has this problem?

What's the atty pin made of?
What's the 510 pin made of?

What's the atty pin made of?
What's the 510 pin made of?

Atty pin is brass
510 pin is plated, not sure what it's made of but I "assume" brass with a nickle plate.

But this has happen with the VariTube V1 510's and also the Evlov 510's. I don't think it's the pins, when I clean the threads on both the atty and the 510 I'll get black on the paper towel and Q-tips. I rarely get juice in the 510, if I do I thoroughly clean it and I'm obsessive and keeping everything clean. With these small mizers I have to refill them at least once a day, when ever I pull an atty, for any reason everything get's cleaned well.

With the little rings/washers I made from wire to extend the center pin on the atty's, the atty's screw on tight, tight enough that they seldom touch the mod, held up to a light I'll usually see a tiny gap between the mod and atty because the pins are bottoming out the 510 center pin.

But I go back to wondering, am I the only one with this problem? If not then I'll just write it off to being part of vaping, if I am the only one then I'm doing something wrong.

Guess I should also add, my builds are dual coil, six spaced wraps each of 26 ga ni200 wrapped on a 3mm drill bit that comes in just under .03 ohms, the board see it as close enough to round up and display it as .03 ohms.

That pretty much sums it up for the kids but you have to add in Mom also has to be a Mommy for the hubby too.

I don't think you're the only one, Willie. I've been fighting with an SS430 build in an Aromamizer on a 250C. Finally gave up and switched to watts mode, let everything cool to room temperature, fired with no atomizer, screwed in the Aromamizer, answered "yes" to new coil, locked ohms, found a nice vape level and started replay. So far it's been working perfectly but I do wonder what the heck is giving it fits in TC mode.

I'm a little OCD with my mods to begin with. Every time I fill a tank I wipe the whole mod down with 91% IPA and pay special attention to the 510. I rarely see anything on the paper towel after cleaning the 510, but once in a while there's some black oxidation and it seems limited to the very bottom of the thread area. Then, I wipe the atty down the same way, just to be sure everything is as clean as I can get it.

I think the little bit of black that I see coming from the threads is from friction of stainless on stainless, it certainly isn't from juice because like you I'm OCD with mine, I'm sure some would say obsessive LoL. I'm pretty sure the low ohms I'm running is factoring in, doesn't take much of a fluctuation to show in my vape.

Me too Willy.

Beside me is my open container of Q-Tips and IPA. Yeah, I occassionally see that bit of black from the lower threading on the mod's 510.
Never locking resistance, and when I see it change it's usually from a dirty coil. My builds are usually ~.2-.5Ω, and might move at most about .02Ω

Glad to know I'm not the only one that keeps q-tips and IPA on my desk. I guess maybe I need to get past my resistance (huh, a pun there) to lock my ohm's, it would probably save me a lot of frustration. I'll give it a try this new week and see how it goes for me.

The lower you build, the more current the mod has to push, and the less precise the real-time measurements are (relative to base resistance). I came to this conclusion early in the DNA40 days, and it was just one of the reasons I quickly switched to titanium instead of nickel; a 0.25 ohm build is a lot more forgiving of minor resistance variations in the 510 than a 0.10 ohm build.

Since I always have juice in contact with my 510s, I've never felt that was much of a problem, but it might depend on what's in the flavorings in the juice.

I've had/have this problem once in awhile myself. The one thing I haven't seen mentioned is to try using a Pink or White eraser. For the 510 pin on mod, I use the pink eraser on a pencil. For the Atty I use a white eraser. Takes the tarnish off the connections without removing any plating.

I was never able to get a reliable TC vape with the Aromamizer V2, it's the way you have to leave the 510 a little loose so you can properly line up the airflow. I am really glad Steam Crave got away from that with the Supreme onward. A working TC is never an issue with any of the new Mizer's, barring bad build or loose post screw.

 

[Steamer861]

barring bad build or loose post screw.

I rarely have the issues posted lately Really tightening the post screws makes a Big Difference

 

[SlickWilly]

I've never left the 510/deck section loose, after a rebuild I snug it into the base with pliers. To align the air holes I hold the base and turn the upper, air hole section to align, never need to got more the 1/4 at most and you won't loose contact with either the inner or outer o-rings with a 1/4 turn or less, never flooded the chamber or had an external leak. Works the same with both the v1 and v2 mizer, I lean toward the v1 more often because I always vape wide open anyways.

Thanks but my V2 and it's Trinity tank lives in a box on the shelf now.

It's been replaced by a Supreme, 2 Supreme V2's, 3 Plus' and a Titan.

It all started a couple of days ago, I couldn't remember what I did with one of my 25 mm K5's, then I located it in the bag that I take to work everyday attached to my Kanger K1 DNA75. Fast forward to today all this talk about v1 mizers, now where is my 2nd one?
I ended up thinking that I gave it to a friend even though I have both boxes. Oh ya now where is my full sized Kanger Subtank, looking in my bag I found #2 mizer but no Subtank, maybe it's at home.

Well it took more than it's worth to locate my Subtank but I finally found it.....along with a lot of other things that I've not seen for awhile.
