Intermittent Mod making me crazy!!!

[Ev3n Stev3n]

I feel like a dummy when this happens. It's frustrating as hell. One minute you are happily puffing away then it just stops. So, you figure its the battery letting you down. Nope. It might be the coil or connection. Nope. Spring? Nope. Tightening all screws seems to work more often, but still intermittent. I was wondering if anyone else out there ran into this problem & what you did about it? Were you able to fix it, or did you just buy new rig? I am really interested in knowing what other vapers did.

Thanks much ecf vapers.


mod in question
king w/ kayfun lite

Not a center pin issue?

 

[Ev3n Stev3n]

Good call and cute cat. It seemed like it at first. But even when I tighten center pin, it may or may not hit.

What're you wicking it with?

When was the last time you cleaned the threads on your mod?

 

[ts19]

Sounds like a glitchy switch to me. Possible housing not secure and tight, tollerances not up to speck with the rice pin, and channels.

Do know sometimes the batt insulator wrap can prevent contact with the neg end of batt and switch, using E,Purples on the Stingray, this will happen, was a mystery till someone pointed out the use of more plastic wrap around the bottom.

But something, somewhere, is preventing contact, tis either in the switch housing, 510 connecter, or between the batt and the switch. Something is wonky,

I am wicking it with an organic cotton that I boil and then unroll to dry out. But the coil wont even light up with heat. Its weird. and its making me crazy. Cause i still get it to work sometimes.

What battery are you using?
Resistance of coil?
Cleaned all threading lately?

 

[Ev3n Stev3n]

When did I last clean my threads, i dont know, pretty often really. probably because i keep taking it all apart trying to solve my mystery. and then i usually see whats oily. but that is a good point. sometimes i will leave my tank on for a few days and it can get good and oily deep in there.

battery is 3.7 volts
.5 ohm(sub ohm)
