Need help with Magneto Mech mod issues?

[justin11141]

Alright so my magneto i bought a week ago was working fine with my kayfun 3.1. I ran out of wick and wire so i threw on the aerotank. the button on the bottom of the magneto shocked me and now it doesn't fire? I have not tried it with my kayfun cause i have no wick or wire. I was able to take a couple hits on the aerotank but it was burnt. Now when i try to put the aerotank on it doesn't fire, and it gets VERY hot at the top piece of the mod.

You have a short somewhere in the aerotank head is my guess.

What he said mine did the same thing when I rebuilt a pro tank head and wasn't paying attention and left a wire to long

Not for nothin but after all you have put that battery through you might want to put it out of commission and get a replacement. Well if it got hot along with the mod..

Good rule of thumb, if you're using a mechanical without a fuse or kick and it doesn't fire don't try to fire it until you've fixed the problem

Hello, I just bought a Magneto (it only says Smoke on it and has an adjustable screw) and iv tried to get my Aerotanks to work on them but its not working. Do I need an extension maybe? I have tried adjusting the screw and have tried 2 different bases on it but still no go. The guy I bought it from put one of his RBAs on it and it worked fine. Im new here so please tell me if I am posting this right.

Thanks

Sounds like a short, but as a rule of thumb you need to place the batteries plus or end with slight indent toward the atty and negative towards the button or bottom. I would switch the coil for a new one and try again.

I have the magneto and was my first mech and still use it with my KFL.

Run my aerotank on my magneto all the time. But always, always check your ohms first to make sure you don't have a short. I'd replace e battery, check ohms and go from there.

Thanks for the answers, I just tried a different Efest 18650 in it with a Smok Trophy V2 with an Aerotech with a 1.9ohm coil base and it seems to be working.

Agreed! Check for shorts! My magneto doesn't like my aerotank, I've had it short and get super hot in seconds several times. This seems to be much better with the latest coil heads though. My aerotank works great on all other mods and my magneto runs all my other rbas etc. This isn't the first person I've heard with this specific issue.

Hope it's all working out for you!

Thanks for the help, will use it throughout the night to see how it performs. If good would like to try a 18350 with a kick. Heres a pic, doesnt match and some threads showing but oh well for now lol

I can see this is a great forum!!
