Hello guys,
This weekend I kinda forgot one of the mighty atoms on the usb charger for about 2 days.
When I got back I took it off and tried to use it... the battery connection had some black dirt or on it... I am not sure what exactly was it (maybe caused by overcharging the battery) but I cleaned it then tried to vape...no luck. 8-o
The switch is kinda F up but not dead yet.....
-when I blow against the LED of the battery it does not activate as usual.
-when I blow from the connection end it activates but I have to blow hard.
-when I suck air through the connection end (with the the little hole on the side of the connector left open) it activates but when I stop it remains activated for 1 sec.
I had a problem with the evo genie batteries connectors. There is a silicone thing there that used to pop out and would not allow the switch to activate. When I got them replaced (warranty) the guys at the repair shop showed me a trick to pull back the silicone thing into the connector using a soft paper clip inserted into the center hole, then rotating it, which would pull back the silicone into its place.
But this is not the case this time. I am not sure if the switch can be fixed.
I noticed that when I stick a metal paper clip gently into the center hole of the connector and start spinning it at some point it will activate the switch..the led blinks 3 times, the battery gets hot... Then I can attach the atty and take maybe 1-2 puffs...then it just goes back to stage 1 - not working...
I tried this with the paper clip 3-4 times, but I realized that if I keep doing it all I can do is kill the battery.
Well that`s pretty much the problem....
Any advice?
