Help with my lil'chuck

[Kilroy2.0]

for some reason my lil'chuck is not producing much vapor. My 901 produces more. I have tried several different addys, 4 different batteries and 2 different chargers. I took the batteries to batteries plus and they are charging.

I am sad - I just do not know what to try next anyone have any ideas?

-g puffing on my 901

Do you use a cartridge? Is it over or under saturated?

I do use cartridges - how do you know when it is just right?

everything works just fine if I use a 901 battery then I put the set up on the chuck and nothing or nothing much.

Maybe all 4 of my batteries just are not good?

It's filled but not pooling at the top.

Since you have ruled out atomizers and batteries have you tried a new cartridge?

crap - that is not it! I just don't know!

I am getting so frustrated, I have got to be doing something wrong everybody just loves their Chucks. I have seen pictures of the vaper they produce

Take a qtip and some isoprpyl alcohol and clean ur atty connector on the Chuck....should solve the issue then use a clean qtip and make sure its all nice n dry, including that tiny hole in the center post. then vape!

This should work.

If not, report back and I have something else u can try

Ok tried that - got some vapor going now! Still getting more from my 901. Made my husband watch just to make sure I was not just imaging it!

What else should I try?

Did you clean the threads on the atty too?

Look inside the battery tube...makke sure the delrin black piece w the screw in it is still attatched. do this with ur finger, NOT a screwdriver. Its supposed to be loose. Tightening it will twist the wire apart inside so dont tighten it. BUT if its hanging down, not just wiggling side to side, send it back to Jeff...unless hubby solders, then he can unscrew it, check connections and resolder BUT thats a TIGHT squeeze to solder in....


An easier fix possibly, would to tape ur top cap up, unscrew it and clean the inside....even then tho, its a tight squeeze but will possibly save u from having to solder anything....

May wanna email jeff at chucks@thagbuilt.com if you feel uncomfortable with doing the above things...keep in mind a good claening of ALL connections does a vaporizer good

Also, if u think juice got in the unti, place it atty connec side down for over nite, let all the juice dry up then reclaen the atty connector and it should fix the prob

when I look inside my chuck there is a white piece w/ a screw? not a black piece!?!

[crashtestjeep]

White is ok, some were done w delrin, some were acrylic...sorry for the late response...any luck as of yet?

gml38,

I had problems with my little chuck as well. I switched to the 18350 batteries and a 510 atty and it works great. I was using an 801 atty and 16340 batteries. Just thought you would like to know.

 

[gjrhine]

It has been proven many times over 801s and 16340s work well together. Besides she's using a 901.

 

[Kilroy2.0]

Believe it or not but I believe I got two bad chargers in a row I put a new battery in and it worked great! Now I just have to wait for my new charger to get here.

All that messing around and I had 2 bad chargers

I am just so happy it was not my chuck! Not happy that I have to wait again.

OH WELL!\\

You seemed to be saying the batteries were OK. You might want to get a multimeter for testing batteries, atomizers, etc.

WOOT! To being a bad charger! on the other hand, ull now know how to troubleshoot ur Chuck should any problems ever arise

Keep us posted on new charger!

 

[gjrhine]

I have found the best way to troubleshoot Chucks is, you guessed it... two Chucks! Just exchange parts until you find the culprit.
