JollyRogers...... Not sure if this is something that should be done or not but I took the white ring inside and filed it down just a wee bit with a fingernail file. Why you say cause if I screwed my spheroid down it was like shorting just got burned juice. Really I thought it was not getting air myself. Kinda new to these things. but when you said something about the pic a bit ago I noticed mine hardly even came out.
It was not staying screwed in befor cause it had to be loose or it burned so had to keep checking it. Wow now I can screw it in and it stays tight. Had an extra white ring so wouldn't have been a problem if it didn't work right. Hope this will help someone else.

That's a decent enough solution in the short term. Perseas likes to know when any of their customers has any issues with a GP product , no matter how small. If you have anything out of spec that is causing your device to work in any way other than the way it was intended to be he will take care you right away and make it right. GP products have a lifetime warranty, one of the reasons why I will never hesitate giving them my money.

Thanks chadsmo, but really didn't know it was a problem just thought it was the way it was. As said am just venturing into some other stuffs and read these forums to learn from all of you. Wow I do love this Spheroid. Now even more.

Stop by the GP Family thread and say hi sometime.

GP Series by VapourArt - Official Thread for GP Spheroid, GP PAPS, X, GP Piccolo, GP SnP and more - Part 2

Thanks for the invite good sir. I am in there most the time I just don't post much cause don't know much. I have read all of the 1st thread and am up to date on the part 2 also. Learning a lot on these threads. Yall are the best in that thread and I love reading there.

 

[chadsmo]

Sorry if I didn't notice your posts that's a LOT of reading!

I just got my Spheroid yesterday and am having a slight issue. If I screw it down more than just contact, it shorts out. Because of this I am using it on a Provari until I can get it sorted out. I tried disassembling the base to check for the cause of the short, but try as I might, I can not get the base apart. I'm using the "fork" and even resulted to a pair of needle nose pliers on the posts (gently) but that sucker is really on tight. Am I missing something obvious?

You are aware it's reverse threaded ? If so maybe put it in freezer for abit then try and I had to wrap base in a towel and hold with pliers while I unscrewed the base once, but if you resort to that don't hold it with too much pressure

I was not aware it is reverse threaded. Tried with towel and plies, no go. Will try the freezer tomorrow. Thanks for your help dog.

Something you can try , screw it on to a mod and keep turning it after it's tight until the bottom separates. Ideally you want to use an old ego or something so you can grab the base and get it off the mod, because it will be on very tight.

Thanks guys, I am fully aware of Perseas and the lifetime warranty. He was going to help me find a Line adapter for my Piccolo, but luckily I realized I had given to a friend by mistake and got it back… I think mine is sorted. I have used it for two full tanks on my MS today, and no problems.

I think you may be underestimating how many people are (money in hand) wanting the MicroStick

I have only subscriptions for estimations. I would say that 200 will be enough for at least a week. And then they will be out of stock
Though it all depends on the price.
We'll see.

Ok, ran some hot water over the base and it easily parted. The Delrin washer under the positive post head looks fine. Guess I will have to remove the posts that pass through the base and see if that isolation is intact.

The center brass part inside the 510 is positive. The outer threaded part is ground. If you have a friend with a multimeter, measure between those two points while firing the button.

Do make sure you have a charged battery, too, but I'm sure you've checked that...

a_e_u,
You aren't alone. I am having problems with my Spheroid and the MS. It seems to be shorting at the 510 connection. I am thinking the center pole of the MS is making contact with the outer edge of the Spheroid's 510 connection. I need to pull my Spheroid apart (I just rebuilt it) and see if I can move the center pin down some to prevent it. Otherwise, not sure what I am going to do.

ETA: Tore down the Spheroid. Put it back together, and can't recreate the problem… Tired of messing with it now. Off to bed.

Thanks again for the heads-up Akdare & Jolly,

I've measured with a multimeter and got a reading of 4.17v, so now I suppose that rules out the microstick's fault since I got the same reading when I tested the battery by itself

I took my minigen apart & rebuilt it as you suggested Jolly, pushing the centre pin slightly further out, unfortunately it still didn't work for me. Guess I'll just have to try again while waiting for my new minigen to arrive since I don't have any other 16mm or less atomizers lying around.

Just in case... The fastest way to get support is to answer on any mail related to your order, because mails with order ID in the subject are answered with higest prio. Normally the difference is not big, but during the last week there were just so many mails that I had to prioritize some of them.

I answered via e-mail.

Thanks for the response LittleDonkey, I've already replied your email. No worries, I understand. I've never once doubted the service of Mini-Ecig. I just wanted to see if fellow vapers can help me pin-point the issue so that I can rectify it myself before getting an official response from Mini-Ecig. I appreciate your assistance greatly and will update you again.

a_e_u. Did you use the multimeter to make sure there were no shorts in the minigen? Particularly between the ground screw and the center pole? What does the minigen read for resistance between its center pole and ground at the 510 connection? It should read the value of your coil, nothing less. Mini-Ecig has been very responsive via their contact link, and through email for me.

I did up a new coil that read fluctuated around 2, 2.1 minus internal resistance on the multimeter. Is there any other way to tell if there is a short in the atty? And yes, Mini-Ecig Team definitely has been very helpful in our correspondences & I'm very appreciative of that in a company

Put your positive of the multimeter on center pin of the 510 connection then touch the negative anywhere else on the atty (or the negative post) and check the reading. It should be pretty close to that 2.1

Got my microstick!!!!
It's amazing

take switch off, take batt out. put atomizer in. now read resistance by putting positive probe on brass piece in bottom where batt + would make contact, and negative probe on body of atomizer. should read 2-2.1 ohm. it does? if so it should be ok. it doesn't and reads 0 or much less then 2.1ohm? it is either a short in connection or in MS.

Now take atomizer out. put positive probe in same spot. negative probe to either brass threading... or to edge of 510 connection on MS (ground/return). it should read open. if it does read open, 510 connection is shorting to ground of atomizer, and it is connection. if it reads a short, the MS is bad and will need disassembly to isolate or return to fix.

Now we finally have the first retailer!
Only retailers which have our items in stock are published here:
Our retailers - Mini ECIG

In this run there will be 3 more retailers: 1 more in USA, and 2 in EU. Currently our items are on the way to them.

Retailers in different countries have different taxes and customs duties, so retailers are allowed to set any price. We will try to increase the list of retailers which will help in maintaining a competitive price.

We will keep selling our products directly but again with long wait for pre-orders and then for production and shipping, so if for any reason you don't like to buy from retailers, please subscribe for stock updates here:
All - Mini ECIG
Then you will be notified as soon as we start the next run.

If you want to become one of our retailers, please, contact us.
