Joyetech Evic "Atomizer Not Found" or "Atomizer Short"

[vapourskull]

Having a problem with my joyetech Evic - Certain Evod BCC's when screwed onto this VV device show up as "Atomizer Not Found" or "Atomizer Short". However when I screw those same devices onto my joyetech Ego-C Upgrade batteries, they work fine.

Any ideas as to why this might be?

The center pin in those devices might be pressed in a little, and they are not making contact with the eVic's connections.

The pin on your eGo-C's are probably tiny bit higher (the center pin on the eVic is notoriously "low") and are making contact with the BCCs even though they are a little pushed in.

How to fix this? I'd suggest using an adapter on your evic for the devices that are giving you trouble. Sometimes that helps.

Stupid question: What exactly is an adapter and where do I get one [for the best price]?

I have had similar troubles with the evod on my spinner. If I screw it in too tight, the light just flashes 3 times and it doesn't fire. It seems like an O-ring is getting squeezed too tight and metal is touching metal somewhere that it shouldn't. Have you tried just not screwing it on so tight?

I don't screw them on too tight now, but I think that when I first got my Evic I did screw them on a little too tight, so the little post got flattened a little. I just tried taking a small flat head screw driver to the post and very gently rotated around the post pushing it up slightly and that seems to have worked for the time being... I am very interested in this adapter idea though....
