guys, any gd mechincal experts around? exasperated already

my atomo looks like spoil liao

I test and test cannot fire

1. check the pins. can reach top (atomizer) and bottom battery
2. change different tanks. cannot fire on atomo but can on other mod
3. autosol the pins. still not working
4. tested and there is no short. basically test the pin ant the top cap. getting about 4v

throw away very wasted. any idea?

Lol. If your closed circuit test (4) is performed correctly, then it seems like the only possible point of failure is connection between the atty and 510 connection. Make sure they're actually making connection. If you have a 510 adaptor use it to test. If not, try something with an adjustable 510 connection (eg russian 91). Not sure if the atomo has an adjustable 510 pin at the top cap

did you snug the contact to the atomizer? Looks like it has a chi you set up. pin closest to base connects the atty and the pin under that one connects to the battery.

screw on the atty, snug up that first pin then adjust the second pin until you can screw your cap all the way down and make connection.

If that doesnt work then maybe you need to adjust the pin on your atty, if it is adjustable

Used 16350 and 18650

Igo w 1 ohms, 26awg , 9 coils, 1.4mm
Kf lite 1.7 ohms, 28awg, 10coils, 1.4mm

Tested on all the above combinations. Not working on atomo.

Bro tell me more about the bottom pin.

Also tested on multimeter on top cap when firing bottom. The multimeter one point goes to the top pin and the other point goes to the top cap. I got about 4v for both batteries type

Bro inofat So could still be the problem w the connection between mod and atomizer.

How to test the connection between those 2 items?


Bro 18sign, yes magnets but how will that affect? Perhaps u can share n i check. Thanks

Bro buddy, already change different size batt, and adjusted bottom pin to suit the different heights. Still the same.

for the voltage measurement with multimeter. Place the Red(+) in the center pin and Black(-) to the 510 thread part of your mod

for connection test between your mod and atty, connect them together place the Red on the positive of atty and black to your atty negative then test fire and see if get any reading.

As for the magnets if your magnet is weak, it might not be able to pulse correctly to fire the mod.

If your atty fires on other mods means most likely your mod is not firing or the contact between it fail.

Do a test fire with multimeter to your mod and see if u reading any voltage. if you don't see any voltage most likely the firing switch is the problem.

Do also note that the mod's center pin shouldn't come in contact with the 510 threads of your mod else you are just shorting it.

Just to be super sure, conduct this test to verify the integrity of your mech's circuitry first:

1) one lead of multimeter on the top cap's 510 pin
2) the other lead on the threading of the top cap's 510 connection
3) fire and see if there's any voltage reading approx 4V

If yes: your mod is working perfectly fine. Nth wrong with the switch or magnets or whatever.
If no: your mod's internal circuitry is broken. Check all parts like the switch's firing pin

If your answer is yes, just ignore anytning about the mech mod itself; the thing is working fine. There's only 2 other possible points of failure:
1) the atty is not working
2) the connection between the atty and the mech mod

The fact that your atty fires fine on other mods rules out point 1.

To confirm issue is connection between atty and mod, try:


Do you have an atty with an adjustable 510 connection? If you do, try to extend the 510 as much as possible and see if it works.

If not, do you have a typical ego-510 adapter? Those usually have long 510 connections; and can accommodate 510-510. Try using it to see if it'll fire.

Lastly, try the following using your kayfun:

1) screw kayfun on to mod
2) remove any coils
3) attach a lead of a multimeter to the positive block
4) attach the other multimeter lead to the negative block
5) set the multimeter mode to "voltage"
6) fire the mod (push in the firing switch)


Based on what you're describing, your multimeter should register either 0 or a super low voltage. If so, it'll confirm that the problem lies with a connection between your atty and the mod ( meaning your atty's 510 connection is not making contact with the mod's 510 pin).

Your best bet now would be to buy some kind of 510 adapter to act as a proxy between your mod and your atty. Do NOT use a tiny piece of magnet or metal. If it shifts around and touches the 510 threading, you'll get an instant short and it's pretty much GG at that point. Examples of a 510 adaptor that MIGHT solve the problem is this:

The main thing is to try to help your atty "reach" the 510 pin of your mod. (Btw, is the 510 pin of your mech mod like bloody short or smth? Doesn't really make sense that if you tighten all the way down it's still too deep....)


Lastly, in general, weak magnets do NOT cause circuitry and conduction problems associated with non-firing. Magnets in switches serves to open or close the conduction path, but by itself do not form part of the conduction path. A weak magnet simply causes the mod to fire way more easily than intended, but does not in any way break a circuit.

thanks bro. tried this. show 0V

seemed like atty not connecting to mod somehow.

I guess I have to sand the black thing again.
