IGo W4 Not Making Contact in MVP V2/Itaste VV V3

[molimelight]

I'm new to the rba/rda world so bear with me if this is a dumb question. I recently purchased an IGo W4 and built a coil or two. When I tried it on my MVP V2, despite screwing it all of the way down (ego threading), it apparently wasn't making contact because I got "NON" for the reading. I tried it on my Itaste VV V3 (ego threading) and it got a reading and vaped, but I just tried it again and it won't get a reading. When I check it on my ohm reader (ego threading) it reads just fine. Am I missing something here? Is there an adapter that will help? Is this a known problem with the IGo or innokin products?

The center post on the Igo may be pushed in. I had the same problem on my MVP. I found a thread here that said to loosen the center screw on the Igo just a bit and push on the screw head. I did this with mine (off of the MVP). and it worked. I'll see if I can find the thread.

OK here's a couple threads to verify:

Thanks Joe! I tried using the screwdriver and pushing as the posts said, but it wouldn't budge. I even screwed it part way into my MVP and pushed hard and couldn't get the pin to move. While I was doing this I was envisioning the screwdriver slipping and stabbing my left hand!

So I got out a hammer! Not a big hammer, a small tack hammer, and I left it screwed part way onto the MVP and tapped on the center post screw. That did it. It makes contact fine now. Thanks again for your help.

I had the same problem with mine after my kayfun pushed the pin on my mvp down a bit. I fixed it by taking out the screw on the positive post and tapping it a few times with a hammer and screw driver till I felt it budge a bit. This was after quite a few failed attempts at much less invasive methods that weren't working for me...


EDIT-
Noticed after making my post that you resorted to a similar solution as I did. Glad you got it working anyway!

Thanks, I appreciate the information. I did manage not to run the screwdriver into my hand this time. The only reason I feared that happening is the fact that I've done it before! Doh!

Ouch. I lost my thumbnail last year after slipping with the cordless drill and driving the phillips bit through my nail. It just finished growing back in January. Took over six months.

Glad you got it to work, and probably better than fiddling with the connector on your MVP.
