Hello! New Member, need help.

[MayaPapaya]

I know this isn't the forum but my battery and tank will not connect. I just purchased them separately and at first they connected just fine, than after I disconnected to charge the battery and went to connect them again, they won't connect anymore. It's like a piece went missing or something but I can't figure it out.

It's an ISmoka tank with a ego-c twist battery.


Please help.

-Super Frustrated.

Sounds like a problem with the centre pin.

Perhaps try this: EGO Battery Not Working

sorry about the problem

can you take a picture of your battery and tank so we can see the thread ends on both (so they are not attached to each other)
and a little more concise description of what is happening (they screw together but won't fire, they wont screw together at all. etc

use this site to upload the picture TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting and copy and paste the img code - in the resize box choose the message board (640 x 480) size so it is big enough to see

and we will see if we can't help you


and welcome to the ECF

Did you drop it while connected or screw it on too tight, and snap off the threads on the bottom of the tank in the process?

sounds to me like they screw together but don't ignite... that's from over tightening the battery on charger.. the center brass pin needs to be lifted back up with a pin or toothpick

 

[MayaPapaya]

They won't screw together anymore, and no dropping them or snap offs of any threads. It's literally like the tank and the battery become incompatible overnight. Kind of like the tank somehow, umm, become to small and the battery thread hole got bigger? Cause now there is room to move the tank threads when there wasn't before.

 

[MayaPapaya]

Cause you can twist and twist and twist and twist and they won't connect, the threads aren't connecting period.

 

[Dakota Jim]

is it the mini or the mega tank? and is it a standard ego style battery or something else? (there may be thread adaptor you are forgetting - this is why pics help)

the mini appears to be ego threaded and mega is a 510 threaded (hopefully the 510 threads are not stripped)

try to never over tighten anything on your battery to get it to be stable - get beauty rings that screw onto the ego threads for the oversized 510 tanks

 

[danimal40]

ok I believe the ismoka is a changeable coil unit...did you try a different coil maybe that one got stripped

Sound like something - either the battery 510 threads or the base of the tank - are stripped. Got anything else you can try connecting to the battery to rule in/out?

ISmoka Mega BBC + eGo-C Twist battery.
best picture I could get. I'll try and get a better one in the morning if need be, lighting in the apt. no good at night.

well I don't have a ismoka but after a quick google I see that the threads on the bottom don't change with the coil..im guessing the threads are stripped on either the battery or tank..quick fix would be some Teflon tape on tank threads..then buy a ce4 or some tank that uses the outside ego threads on the battery
