Hardware 101 for the newb.

[Senor.Ekt0r]

Slowly advancing up the e-ranks. But need some 101 tips.

I recently bought a Volt ecig package. Standard 78 mm with clearomizers. It's already crapped out, not heating up. I went to a local ecig store to see if they carried any similar stock to keep on trucking and, no such luck. What are my options aside from ordering online? Is it my battery, is it the heating element in the clearomizers? And what should I be looking for in compatibility?

I went ahead and bought another system there but just wondering what I can do to salvage my old stock. Thanks for tips, you guys here have been a big help in my knowledge acquiescence.

Well I would recommend a multi meter.. Takes a lot of the guess work out it
if you have enough gear like batteries and atomizers you can swap out for parts known to be good and through the process of elimination can figure out what's broken

I would need some more information. The Volts are generally pretty reliable cig-sized 808 batteries. If you have a kit with 2 batteries, are they both not working? What clearomizer are you using...the mini? Did you get a cartomizer with the kit and have you tried that? All of my Volts lasted me at least 4 months of steady use...some lasted me much longer...of course there's always that bad one that slips thru.

Sometimes with the Volts, the center battery post will get pushed down when you screw it on the charger or onto the clearo. You might try to very gently pull out the battery post just a tiny bit with a paper clip or tweezers or safety pin, so that it makes contact with the center post of the clearo.
