Need help with M1A1 tank please

Sounds to mr like your missing part of the isolator or something is causing it to short out when the carto is tight. I got fusions from the oldest, to the newest made and never had one short out. Mike already answered.

batteries charged ?? ( use a voltmeter if you have one , they should read 4.2 volts each )
charged but not fully. I don't have a voltmeter

Take off the atty /carto first
done

Do you have a RED LED light ?
yes

DO you have a Blue Led light when the button is pushed.
yes

DO you have a Blue led with the ATTY/CARTO ON the unit ?
no - it is red

Do you have BOTH red and Blue led lights ?
yes (when I push the button) but only when there is no carto on the unit. put carto on the unit there is only red. push button with carto on it is only red.

Do you get a blue led with the atty/carto ON but no vapor ?
no blue led, no vapor.

OK something is causing a short at the connection ??? do you see the top screw in there ?? is there a black washer under it ?? we may need to take the top cap apart to make sure it is not missing anything .

Wait this is an 801 right ??? Damn you may have got sent an OLD design 801 they can short out !! can you take a pix and send it to me at sales@notcigs.com ??

 

[Mookie]

i have a blemished 801. will send pic shortly. ty

 

[Mookie]

sent e-mail with pics

 

[Mookie]

bump - just wondering if you got my pics???

UPDATE: I put in fresh batteries and it's a vaping beast! Loose connection, intermittent shorting, batteries getting low??? Although I didn't think low batteries could be the issue if the LED was still working?

Don't know but will hope it keeps working......

Generally low batteries are indicated by a huge drop in vapor production, and if you look you will see both red and blue lights on when you press the fire button.

good to know. do you know why (as stated above) only the red LED would come on when I put a carto on? something loose or low batteries?

Red when nothing is pressed just tells you that you have power, batteries are in correctly.

What happens when you push the fire button is the key. If only the red light is on, probably short circuit protection is kicking in; if you are running a low resistance dual coil, try turning the voltage down ( towards the green) and see if it starts to work.

Both lights, red and blue, means low power, time to switch batteries. The vape quality drops off tremendously.

Just the blue light means it is happy, thinks it is applying power okay. Either it really is good, else you have an open circuit, no connection. (in an open circuit, no current is drawn)
