IClear 16 issue - what the heck?

[freeatlast!]

I have lots of these and have never had this problem before - it just won't work! Doesn't matter what I put it on - I even changed out the coils and atomizer - put in a brand new one - still won't work! Put it on my iTaste v3 to get an ohm reading for it - got the "non" message. What's going on?

Wiggle the post out a tiny bit (use a small instrument) on the underside of the iclear16, 99% of the time, that's the issue.

Ugh. I don't know. I use these all the time without this issue. These tanks are made by innokin so they should be compatible. Hopefully someone can help you soon!

Basically, to clarify what I said earlier, you just need to pull on the post by no more than 1mm so it can make contact with your battery. Process should take you no more than 10 seconds to do. good luck!

I did that - over and over. So just now, I took a small hooked needle, stuck it in there and yanked and twisted around a few times and finally got it to work!! Was afraid I'd break something if I did that, but guess if it wasn't gonna work anyway, it didn't matter! Anyway - thanks!! Seemed to me it must be something wrong with the cone - but that didn't make good sense!

Yeah, your battery positive post has been pushed down.
I really wish the iclear had a spring loaded centre pin like the stardust v3. But they don't, so if you over tighten them they push your battery post down hard.
You ideally need to pry up your battery post and in future not tighten them down so hard to batteries.

Sometimes pulling out the clearo pin helps, but that is not a proper fix, as it actually breaks contact to the head inside when you do that, but if there's just a hairs width of a gap it will work for a while.
