Kgo battery not making contact? No clue on this one..

[RyanRed]

Hey all! Got a little problem.

My Vivi Nova tank came today. Love the thing. I screwed it into my Kgo Batt, works like a charm.

Unscrewed it to vape on the stardusts I had been using with it, and it doesnt work. I tried the same stardusts(2 of them) in the other battery that came with my kit (bought a week ago), and it works fine. Screwed back in the vivi nova to the battery that was not working with my stardusts, and it works.

So what would have happened to this battery since I started using the Vivi Nova v2 with it? In a Nutshell

Battery 1: Worked with my 2 stardusts until today, after I used my vivi nova with it.
(also tried a XXL Catro on it, and it does not work anymore - did last night but does with my other battery.)

Battery 2: Works just as it did when I bought it. I have not screwed my Vivi into it in fear of what happened to battery 1 will happen to this one. But works with the Carto, and stardusts np.


The Only thing that makes sense to me is it not connecting? Did the Vivi nova somehow press the battery down? I did not screw it on crazy tight or anything. Just a screwed it on until it stopped turning like I do with the stardusts and catros.

Also note: I did check to see if the USB charger would make a connection, and it does. The battery was not that low, but I plugged it into the charger, and it flashed for about 20 mins, and then stayed solid green. No issue there.

The connector on the vivi nova's are longer than on most cartomizers and it pushed your post in on your battery. Here is a video on how to fix it. adjusting trex and piper 510 battery connection. - YouTube .This is a common problem with ego/kgo's.

Is the button flashing or is simply nothing happening?

Also what happens when you put the tank back on the battery in question?

It sounds like the Vivi Nova pushed the center pin of the KGO down a little too far for the Stardust to make contact. Get a toothpick and work the center post up a little from the sides. That center post is just suspended in place by the rubber grommet that goes around it. Next time you use the Vivi, tighten it only until it makes contact.

At one point it did flash rapidly. But not all the time. Thats what made me think it needed to be charged. But its not flashing non stop or anything. It just did flashed rapidly (4-5 flashes), a total of maybe twice I notice It do it? 90% of the time when I press the button it just lights up like its supposed to.

The tank works on the battery just fine. I think these other guys hit it on the head with the post in the middle. I did not know I could adjust it. Ill give it a try, and report back.

Yip! Its working now everyone! After working around the edges, and wedging it up a little, it now works just fine. I had no clue that was moveable down there. Looked solid to me But yes THANK YOU! Again ECF saves the day!
