help!! problems with aspire BDC (and et-3) w.a vision spinner

[randm1]

Confused... And first time poster...

I have a vision spinner this one (in maroon)
Pretty sure it's a vision spinner VV ego. (It's not a short one, but not the skinny long one, or the faster one, the one in the middle clear button that flashes white when pressed)

Sorry I don't have all the aspects I tried to explain as specific as I could.

Not sure if it's 900 or 1300 mah either

So I was using my Aspire BCD ET-S which was silver with a little vertical window to see how much liquid I have. It was working great no problems. And I went to grab another one and replacement coils (I bought 2 sets of 5 coils) -- but instead I got the plain "BCD" one cause it's what they had. I saw it looked exactly like my other. Took it apart all the same pieces. But a clear tank rather then silver with a little window.

So I put liquid (the same liquid i always use) in the new one, i let it sit for a little while and put it on my spinner and pushed the button -- and nothing but air. No vaping just sucking air. So I took off the bottom of my ET-3 one, and attached it on the new BCD clear tank, and it seemed to work! So then I figured I'd just ask about the other at the store. Because i had at least one working one (the bdc et-3 that I started with).

But then as I cleaned them both out again (they both have new coils) cleaned out with qtips -- let them dry out. Put some liquid in both and put the bottom of the Ed-3 back on its original silver one with the window and put the BDC one back to its clear tank (which again just sucks air).

So then I go to push the button with the aspire ed-3 one and it's like sucking juice from a watermelon with a straw. I unscrewed it blew into it. But there's still resistance even after it was just working!! When twisted to 4.2 its not as bad, but definitely not working as it was. Cleaned out, new coils, and it's not completely unusable, but it gets really hot (the ed-3 atomizer).

Did I get the wrong aspire BDC even though the BDC ed-3 had been working fine for awhile now. But it's like after I checked the bottom of it with the new BDC did I screw something up? I let things dry perfectly and cleaned things with qtips. But if anyone can understand my rambling, any thoughts?

Welcome to the forums, I have the ce5 which use the same coils. They should be these coils. Mbv is local to you and should be fast shipping or idk if they have a b&m.

I have had no problems with mine and I would surest making sure you have it screwed in secure and same on battery.

Last possibility could be your ego center pin has been slightly pushed down and you need to pull it back up. Here is a vid as well.

Hope you get everything working.

whether it's a mod an MVP or vision spinner... the company (aspire) makes the contact pin a little to short.
you'll fine a BDC's contact pin needs a little help. I suggest you go to this blog... and it will explain a very easy fix.

The one that's like sucking air thru a watermelon -- can you check the holes that the air is drawn thru? Perhaps they are clogged - I don't know the exact clearo or tank that you're using but that has happened to me in the past with other types. Just make sure all the holes are perfectly clear.

Yeah take a flat head and try to lightly pry up on the center pin on all four sides, lightly and see if it makes a connection, i had the same problem with an aspire and spinner

And I am also from Seattle, WA ;-)

Also If its leaking, maybe time to move on to a different cartomizer, I had this repeated problem with aspires, so its probably not your fault. What you can do if it is leaking is hold it upside down for maybe ten minutes stick a q tip in it to clean out your mouth piece then tilt it back up and try vaping again, if it is firing at all at least.

My Aspire BDC does the same thing. One of the reasons that it is now backup and not in the rotation. Try unscrewing the coil and then screwing it back into the tank. Now put it back on your battery. It just might work.

For some reason everytime I tried to switch that tank between batteries the battery that it came from would not work on the tank (the battery would work with all of my other tanks, just not that one).

Some how moving it to new batteries messes with the connection. The unscrewing should also help with the hard to draw part too.
