Help with atty not making good contact.

[RugDoctor]

I just got a 901 atty in today, this is my first time using a atty, I normally use CE4 clearo and cartos. The batteries i'm using it on is Echo 650 808 thread and Echo 1300 808 thread, all sealed. The atty worked perfect on the 650 batts for about 30 min. awesome flavor and so much vapor it filled up the room. But when I put it on my 1300 batt it don't fire, now it won't hardly fire on the 650 batts unless i put my finger over the litte hole at the bottome of the atty. What is causing it to do that? Only firing when I cover that small hole up. I do have some adaptors that I got and its still the same when using adaptors, it worked perfect for a good 20-30 until i unscrewed it to try another batt now it hardly fires on anything. What i'm I doing wrong here?

Possibly flooded? Try blowing it out in napkin put 2/3 drops in. Also if it has leaked you may need to remove from battery and clean center post of juice.Last thing I got is since its your first maybe popped the coil.Try to check the ohms on it.

Forgot to mention,try backing it off juuusstt a little .Sometimes that helps. I would check it with a meter first if you have access to one. If not,try the stuff above first

I am getting it to work alittle, the thing is I can't screw it on all the way or it won't fire...I have to keep it unscrewed lightly. But when this thing works, it is AWESOME. It is like this with all 3 batteries I have, I have to keep it only screwed on lightly for the correct contact. Just a quick plug, the 901 atties from empire mods are outstanding. I like it so much that I'm ordering a tube mod to use these atties on, in hopes it works alot better than the connection I have now. I only put in 2 drops, 3 at the most and use one of there cool drip shields as well.

Have you tried all of the suggested solutions? Things are often misunderstood or mis-communicated on the net . Since it is your first atty, there is a technique learning curve . I have found when dripping that the attys will need to be blown out occasionally for optimal performance .

Without knowing all what you tried to correct, I'm at a loss. Good luck. I'll check back to see if you have found a solution.

I have a couple of finicky atty mod combos. What seems to work for me is a loose connection. Frustrating for sure but most of this stuff is getting it to work flawlessly.

Probably flooded.
