i6 and i7 510 atomisers rubber on the bottom comes off

[urbanite]

Hi,

Received my GGTS with some 7.4 batteries and some i6 and i7 atoms.

One of each of the atomisers has gone bust in about a day's worth of use. I'm quite sure it's not the spring inside which has burnt. I was just testing them out, seeing how they work. What I've found though is that the little sillicone/rubber ring at the bottom of the atomisers (which separates the anode and the cathode?) has started to come off.

My question is. What's the real purpose of this little rubber ring? Is it possible to repair at home? What sort of material should be used? Could it be the reason for the malfunction? Or is it definitely only the spring which could have burnt?

I would speak to Imeo, he his very helpful. However from what I've been seeing lately it seems this happens from overtightening the GGTS. Atomizer should be put on first while telescoping body is loose on the batteries. Then close body part just until you feel slight resistence. Shouldn't be too tight or the pin could damage the atty. Hope this helps until you hear from him.

Exactly what deetz said. That silicone insulation part at the end of the threads is a separator for the + and - poles of the atomizer. If you over tighten the atomizer on any device you push the center post back into the housing and the silicone splits, and the two poles touch causing a short circuit and eventually atomizer failure. Like deetz said when attaching the 510 or any atomizer to the GGTS always put the atomizer on the cap before installing the cap to the body of the device. You can then push the center pole of the atty cap into the atomizers poles finger tight, then when you screw down the telescopic part you know you can stop when you feel it touch the battery inside.

Hope this helps you out.

cheers guys, after some digging about yeah found that the center pole has sunk on the atoms bugger....

I was following the instructions with regards to putting the atomiser on the cap first then pushing the center pole till I feel it touch and then screwing the whole thing together.... probably using too much force when screwing the telescoping part in then...

Any one knows if it's possible to pull the center pole out on the atom? It's a bit of a shame to waste two perfectly good atoms at 9 something pounds each...

Glad that helped, it really doesnt take much pressure. Youll get the feel for it now that you're aware. As far as the atty, I don't know for sure but I wouldn't mess with it. You could end up with a short and BOOM. These batteries can be very dangerous and have exploded because of shorts. Use caution.

I understood this after breaking three atom

It's understandable, I probably would have too if I didn't obsess over this forum reading ever bit of GGTS info while I was waiting for it to ship!

I will make atomizers with a fix for this issue Urb my friend because this Chinese thought about this kind of rubber is a waste of time. Please wait a little more for this.

I do put brief instructions in with every GGTS I sell stating how to correctly attach atomisers, but maybe I need to explain this issue specifically and detail how important it is not to over-tighten?

This photo shows 2 atomisers received from a customer that had been damaged by over-tightening. The atomiser at the bottom is a brand new, undamaged one.

 

[urbanite]

yeah that's what mine look like in relation to fresh ones... Yeah I read the instruction, but as with most thing didn't pay enough attention to it, plus didn't realise atoms could be damaged this way, will pay a lot more attention to it now.

@Lisa: Maybe a picture or two could save a thousand words on this

This is a common problem along every line of PV Mods on the market today. I see it in just about every sub forum, people talking about atomizers that die out in a few minutes. It is usually because they have been put on the device with a little too much force. Maybe these atty connections need to be spring loaded some how to prevent this from happening.
