I started out with a Riva 510 system, and have since picked up a couple eGo-T tank/atomizer and a couple Turbine Tankomizers. I lost one battery, and a kind soul has mailed me an old slim 510 battery. (And another friend gave me a 900mwh Ego battery.)

Now for the problem and question.

So far as I can tell, all the parts are interchangeable and work fine. The exception is the Turbine Tankomizer has stopped working with the 900mwh Ego battery. The battery still works with the eGo-T tanks, the sole carty and the attys I have. And the Tankomizer still works with the other batteries. (And does it look silly on the slim 510 battery!)

Any idea what's going on here, or what would be recommended to get these two items to work together? I have pulled out the q-tips...

Thanks in advance!

I assume when you say "I have pulled out the q-tips..." you mean that you have cleaned the contacts on the battery that it is not working on?

Does the battery blink with this atomizer attached? If so, I would think the center post on that atomizer is not making good contact with the center post on that particular battery. Try cleaning the batts center post, and even scraping it with a needle (make sure you do not activate battery while doing this). And finally you may try using a needle or paper clip and slightly rocking the center post on the atomizer. That center post on the atomizer is "free floating" in a silicon electrical isolator and sometimes it gets pushed in a little by another atomizer connection. Just need to work it out just a hair to make contact is all.

Best of Luck
