MVP2.0 not recognizing tank?

[TheLovelyMissJ]

I'v had my precious pink mvp2.0 shine for about a month now, and suddenly, today, its not recognizing that my kanger mini protank 2 is screwed onto it. I've cleaned the connections, made sure its charged, turned it off and on again...

Any ideas?

Does the mvp recognize any other tank? If so, your tank's internal connection is broken.

had mine for a month and it did the same thing. i was lucky enough to get a free replacement tho. if you can try to send it in for another one since you only had it for a month.

Pull the connection on the bottom of your coil on the tank down just s smidge with tweezers. It's not making the connection to the MVP's battery pin. If this happens to multiple tanks, and not just this one, pull the battery pin up on the MVP just smidge with a toothpick.

My MVP has never played nice with Kanger stuff. Everything else works fine. But my EVODs ... I think two of the eight or so I have actually connect.

Same thing. Pull the bottom of the coil on the tank down just a smidge. Make sure you are only screwing on the tanks till they connect. If you overtighten them, either the battery pin on the MVP will keep getting pushed down or the coil will keep getting pushed up.

Yes, it's recognizing another tank! Yay!!! Not broken!

I switched coils, and my kanger is working again!!!

Try prying the center pin up some with the slide out portion of nail clippers.

is there a permanent fix for this?

I have had this issue too, my RDA reads just fine but none of my tanks will at all including Mini Pro Tanks, eVods and iClear 30s. My girlfriends dad disposable CE# reads and fires just fine though.

'Yep, it is a design defect in the MVP2. It has to do with the center pin.

You have two options.

1) Get a mini flathead screwdriver, and pull up the center pin everytime you want to put on a new device that isnt reading

2) Get a 510 to 510adapter. Keep it on at all times, and you wont have any issues anymore

Yes. 510 to 510 adapter.

I've heard of people fitting a small o-ring under the pin on an MVP2. Don't ask me how they do it, I just have read that you can. I simply take a paperclip, toothpick, micro screwdriver, etc... to gently wiggle against the pin all the way around it. Works everytime I've ever had connection problems. Just Be Gentle! I've heard of someone prying a little to hard and popping the pin right out.

Same problem with mine, same length of time, and only with my kanger aerotank. I've tried wiggling pins and adapter and still doesn't work. Wondering if its a kanger thing?

I've had same issues with kanger tanks, drippers, etc and all it ever takes is a good cleaning and to lift up that pin. Over time juice gets in there and it just doesn't spring back up like it did when it was new. My kangers seem to always be the biggest troublemakers tho lol...

It's a common problem, and not a new one. On many devices, the center/positive contact post on either or both of the connector halves gets pushed in a bit or doesn't protrude far enough to make electrical contact.

Instead of messing with that center pin, I finally got some circuit board spacers--sold by MadVape--that work much better and are much more elegant. And require no tinkering. Just drop one onto the center pin of your battery's 510 post and it will ensure proper contact with any atomizer you screw onto it!

I have an MVP 2 that wouldn't play nice with certain toppers and those spacers solved the problem. Madvapes has a coupon code: ECF5OFF.

Doubt it is a defect since many different mods have the same issue with Kanger Coils. The Kanger design is flawed. The center pins are to shallow on Kanger coils and often have to be slightly pulled to contact the mod center pin.

Also it is very common for newer vapors to over tighten their tanks and force the battery center pin down. Simple fix is to raise the pin ans stop over tightening.

I've had a similar problem with mine, ironically with the iclear 30 it came with. A simple remedy for me was to take the collar off - it must have been keeping the topper a mm or so higher than it would without it.

Awesome! In my cart now. No more pulling up hubbies battery pins!

Thanks for that. I'm confused as to what it is though; by the looks of it it's ... a washer?

Or maybe there is metal in the middle? The picture isn't clear whether there is metal in the middle- it looks like a space in the middle like a washer, but I guess there must be metal in the middle?

Circuit Board Spacer. This is a circuit board that is approximately 6.2mm in diameter by .25 mm thick. It fits nicely into a 510 connector and may be able to be used by some of you to alter your mods and connectors to adjust airflow or fix connectivity issues with deeply set center posts. Fits 510, 808, 901 and other similarly sized batteries or atomizers. Price is per board and there is no warranty on this item.
