Got my chuck - Can't vape... =[

well come on, don't keep me in suspense. I gotta know how this turns out. Good I hope.

what type atty?

510 .

 

[Houdini]

Does the atty work on a standard battery? Do you have any others you can try. If your getting 6v on the Chuck then it's for sure an atty problem.
Another possibility is it blew the first time you pushed the switch. They are meant for 3.7v.

All the attys work on normal 510 batteries, I've also raised the posts (and when I take off the atty, the post went down, which means the post in the chuck pushed it down, confirming there was contact)

Do you have juice in the Atty? If so, is the atty getting warm at all?

 

[harpo]

Did you bring the multimeter back with you?

The atty is not making any noise/producing vapor or heat.

And yeah it's vaping fine in the 510 battery =\ so there's juice in there.

Did you bring the multimeter back with you?

Yes I did

 

[harpo]

Did you pull the center pins out a little on the atty's like you did on the chuck?

I've actually only pulled the pin out on attys, I'll try the chuck itself right now

 

[harpo]

Make sure you pull the batteries out first.

 

[RedRamen]

Make sure you pull the batteries out first.

Of course haha, secondly. Is there any possibility that the center post is out TOO far? The one on the chuck seems to be really loose.

 

[harpo]

Yes it can. Can you take a picture and post it?

 

[RedRamen]

Yes it can. Can you take a picture and post it?

The best camera I have is my iphone's I'll try.

[harpo]

How much pressure is it taking to push it down?

Hmm, quite a bit... And once I let go, it doesnt really seem to have made a difference. Maybe it's not out too far

 

[highping]

looks like hat post is up high enough. There is another possibility that you are triping the PCB on the batteries. The 510 at 6V pulls a lot of amps. If you still have that meter, check the ohms of the atty. If it's less than about 2.5, you are probably triping the batts.

Edit: Your next option is to run to the store and pick up a 2-pack of cr123 3V batts. they are non-rechargable but at least you can vape it

Edit2: BTW you can get them at CVS, wallyworld, etc

 

[harpo]

Try pulling it up a litte and put an atty on and try it?

 

[harpo]

put your meter on ohms then put one lead on the threads and the other on the center pin of the atty.

 

[highping]

put your meter on ohms then put one lead on the threads and the other on the center pin.

Do that only put it on DC volts and (with batt in) put one on the center pin and one on the threads (don't let 'em touch each other). then press the button and see if you get volts.

Sorry, I didn't catch that you had him checking the atty there harpo.
