Here's a weird one for you vets and others

[KarenB]

I am new to the forums but not new to ecigs. I have been vaping for about 2 years now and have never run across something like this ever.

I am using an Ego-T 650 battery and one of my atomizers won't work on one of the batteries. Said atomizer works on 3 other identical batteries as well as my old 510 batteries. It's still technically "under warranty" as the vendor takes returns for 30 days but honestly I don't even want to deal with this vendor anymore due to poor communication as well as not wanting to spend the money to send 1 atty back (since I prefer to vape out of clearos and tend to use the attys to taste test fluids only).

Anyone ever run against that? Know what it could be? I tried posting this in Ask the Vets but I guess I can't start threads in other forums yet (?)

EDIT: I should note that the other atomizer that came with the kit works with both my batteries.

Maybe the plate/pin on the batt is pushed down a little bit, therefore not making contact? I watched a vid on this and the guy just took a small flathead screwdriver and nudged it up a little...

I have 1 clearo that won't work on one of my ego batteries but fine on the others. I think it is just minute differences in the threads or contacts or whatever. Slight differences on devices and it is just enough "off" where it won't fire.

it's actually pretty common. The center post on the one battery is just a little lower than they are on your others.
I don't like fooling with the post in the battery if it can be avoided, you can cause more problems than you solve by it. So I always suggest pulling the center post in the atty down a little instead.

That happens to me all the time. Adjusting the post/plate on either the battery or the atomizer should help. You can lift it manually, or, in some cases there is a slot for a screwdriver (depends on what you have). Righty tighty, lefty loosey.....

Thanks folks that makes sense to me. We were just both scratching out heads last night about this as the atty works on all other batteries but this one and the 2nd atty works on all batteries. Just odd.

I would recommend a 510 extension. They usually sit high enough that the problem solves itself. Check out madvapes.

I second the 510 extension . You can pull the battery post up with a paper clip ,small screwdriver ,etc. ,but this will eventually lead to a failed solder joint on the VERY fragile wire that lead from the firing button to the center post. When this occurs your battery is then useless unless you have the skills , patience and tools to disassemble the whole darn thing in order to resolder that wire. It can be done ,I have done it.It is tedious and not a lot of fun.
Read through the following thread to understand what you would have to do to correct a broken connection to the center post.http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-positive-post-connection-issue-halp-plz.html

"I don't even want to deal with this vendor anymore due to poor communication as well as not wanting to spend the money to send 1 atty back "

That's why I don't buy from internet vendors anymore. I found a couple shops in the city and quit buying online.

+1 on adjusting the post or... (and not being glib, just practical) keep using it on the batts that work. None of the devices last for ever, so I've kinda given up on making "consumables" work (use'em till the give up the ghost and then replace them).

Same here - CE4s - work on one KGO but not on the other.
