Hey guys for some reason my low resistance atomizers i ordered are not working with my EGO battery.........Here is what happened with each of the three i tried. I would fill up a cartridge with plenty of juice. Next I plugged it into my LR atty and then into the battery. I would take a puff and i would get a little bit of smoke and then after that NOTHING.......not a pinch of smoke at all. This happened with all 3 of them so it cant be a faulty atty. Afterwards i tried the regular atty and it worked fine. Has anyone had this problem before?? what could be the culpirt? thanks

on one of them i put a couple of drops in.....should I..... shouldnt it work with the cartridge?

On a new LR I always place about 5 drops at first to get it well primed..

I never use carts so cant really tell you.. I always drip 3 drops and take about 3 hits or so and then 3 more drops using a drip tip..

Let us know if that worked for ya.. good luck!

Is the atty getting warm at all? I'd hate to think that you got 3 defective atties, but it is possible. Do you have a multimeter that you can check the resistance of the atties on? That would tell you pretty quickly if they are complete duds. Based on what you've said, it doesn't sound like they are flooded, but you might want to blow them out and start over just to make sure. You would probably get some vapor and hear gurgling, anyway. Also make sure the threads are clean, although with new atties, that's unlikely to be the issue.

ok if you havent flooded them by now with all of your testing... try this pull out the center post of the atty ever so slightly... with a finger nail or anything that will fit.. do this by prying the center post evenly all around the diameter.... not too much and don't force it ..it shouldn't be hard to do.

this should give you better contact... try to listen for "sizzling"...

espplayer7,
I, too bought 2 LR attys from Nohaler, and mine worked pretty much like what you just said. Now I'm not a pro (only been doing this for 8 months), but I think I know what I'm doing and I feel their LR's are not quality, and are bad out of the box or fry out quickly. Don't bother calling--I did and some girl told me too bad--no refunds. I sent an email to the owner a few weeks back and still no answer. I will not buy from them again, and have been turned off on the whole LR thing. Too bad because what I did experience from the LR was good, just very short lived :(
Although, if anyone can tell me a good LR supplier...I'm willing to try one more time :)

if you flip the atomizer upside down..(looking at the connection side) you will see an inner "ring" (metal) that's the center contact of the atty.. if you pull it out just a little bit so it may contact the center portion of the ego battery connector....

sometimes the atty not making contact with the battery is the issue.....

if that doesn't work then yes you might have killed/or already dead atties.. but to know for sure a multimeter would be needed....

Yes it is a good possibility(not saying definately) it's not the fact that it isn't long enough sometimes the center piece is in too far... or if you switch from one PV to another with a different type of connector.. it gets pushed in....

I have had to do it with my cartos, 901,510,and 801 atties... depending on what mod I was using.. or what batch of atty I purchase :D...
