My new iTaste battery I got off eBay no longer registers my 10s clearos

[Kandicat]

Well, the iTaste battery I purchased off the eBay link in the itaste thread no longer registers with my 10s clearos. They work great on my 10s battery so I know they are not the problem. I am thinking they are not getting low enough to make contact with the battery. I emailed the seller. I have had since 7 November and been using for 3 days since I was out of town for two of the days.

If they won't accept it back I guess I could hit the top with a file to take a little off but I don't know the wisdom if that since it is a battery. It would just be lower the screw part a little to improve contact. Advise on this is welcome.

I am am a little discouraged about this since I was not over tightening the clearos when I put them on.

just pull the firing pin up a bit with a pair of tweezers.

I can't grasp it with the tweezers.

Take a toothpick and gently pry up the battery post just a hair.

It is flush with the top all the way down. Interesting. My older 10s has a screw head to correct this. The new one is flat. That design change was for a purpose, in my opinion, so you could repair them.

innokin products have very deep wells on their 510 connections.

True. Although I love my MVP-1, mine will not connect electrically with a 510 thread cartotank. It will connect with a 510 thread iClear 30 or Kanger Protank clearomizer.

Thus far, I'm satisfied using just the iClear & Protank clearos on the MVP, but at some point I'll likely try pulling the center pin or filing down the connector ring with a dremel so that I can use my cartoanks.

Based on what you told me I got a jewelry screw driver and put duct tape on it. It worked. I was able to work the post up. Thanks all. Life saver.

Here is what I learned through this whole ordeal. When I pull the trigger up I can only screw the clearo on until it is taught. I cannot screw it all the way down like my 10s battery as I will get erratic ohm readings. If I just put it on until it is taught I get steady ohm readings in the normal 2.0 to 2.3 area. This was a real learning experience. Unsure if I will purchase another iTaste since the new version does not have the trigger adjustability the old version of the 10s has. I may need to go another route when what I have stops working.

The center pin may need cleaned as over time some juice can get in and around it. Just take some alcohol and let it soak, use something small to go around the pin to jostle any gunk loose. Use a q-tip to clean or a papertowel. Do this as often as needed until clean.

Is this true of all their devices? I was wondering this about the VTR. I'd hate to get it & then find out I'm going to have trouble with carto tanks with it when I could just get a provari & know it's going to work with everything.

I had the same thing basically with an itaste 3. It worked fine with innokin's iclear 30 and 16, but several carto's would not.

I pulled the pin a little and it worked fine for a couple of weeks. Then one night, I was out and went from iclear to carto tank and it would not fire. Now mind you, I was out drinking, and my favorite drinking juice was in the carto, so I was pretty ....... Needless to say, the next day I took a file to the itaste. Been working fine since. You dont have to take off much. I wouldnt necessarily recommend it to everyone, as it is a bit drastic, but I did not want to find myself in that situation again with the itaste. Of course, I am starting to look at mechanical's now, so I may not even have the problems anymore if I go that route full time. lol

I dont know about the VTR. But I have seen it on the itaste vv\vw3 and the MVP2. And it is not like they are broken or anything. I like innokin products, but it seems like their 510 connection on their clearos have a bit more threading, and thus their batteries have a deeper well to accommodate their devices better.

It all comes down to different companies having slightly different tolerances.

And it is not much on the batteries I have seen from innokin. like 1mm to 1.5mm deeper. But with some toppers, that 1mm makes the difference between firing and not firing.

Again, I dont know about the vtr, but if I was willing to bet, I would bet it is the same across their device line.

I took a file to it last night and took a half turn out. It seats fine with consist numbers now. I will check level later today but overall I think it is fine. I guess if I bought 16 clearos I would not have had this issue. I may buy those when I need replacements if it lasts that long.

I have been in communication with the seller from eBay and was told by them that the battery they sell will not work the 10s clearos. I did tell them that their listing states that it does. Be aware of these if your using something other than 16 or 30 clearos. I don't have any of those so I cannot comment on this battery. I will not use this seller again. I think everyone knows who the seller is if you go to the itaste thread.
