New 510 connector, now none of my attys work

[icemanx3]

Hi all, I hope you all can please help me with this one. I checked the technical issues thread but haven't really found the solution - so I apologize up front if this is a redundant question.

I just replaced my 510 connector with a new one, and my attys stopped working. Here's what happens, everything is ok and working and the LED on my mod is blinking, but as I get my atomizer or cartomizer almost screwed down tight (like the last little half turn) the LED shuts off and there is no power to the atomizer or cartomizer. I have swapped out a bunch of different attys and cartos and none work. I even went as far as to re-solder in a different new 510 connector I have. Nothing is shorting, the negative terminal is soldered to the outside of the 510 connector, and the positive to the center post. I am at a loss and can't understand why this is happening

I saw a post from snowdragon that mentions to raise the center posts a bit with a paper clip, but that did not work in my case. So as you can see I've tried the basic things...but now need the power of ECF to win this battle.

Thanks so much all!

Hey all. SOLVED. I started to suspect the battery and I swapped it out with a backup that I had and it fires like a beast. SO, one of my ultrafire 14500 (the grey and black ones) must be over drawing current or something and the protection circuit trips when an atomizer or cartomizer is screwed into place. Does that make sense?

Anyways, I can finish up my soldering and continue to bang out some clouds!! Happy!
