I bought a Bolt, and decided to try out attys while I was at it. I know that the threading is the same, therefore they should be compatible. However, when it all arrived and I charged up the batteries, I put 4 drops in the atty, put it on the Bolt, pushed the button... And nothing happened. I thought maybe there was something wrong with the batteries, so I put a carto on, and it worked perfectly fine. Anyone have any idea what could be wrong? I'm posting a few pictures of the Bolt and atty if that helps any.

More then likely the post is to blame. Since it's probably not making a connection. So, if you use a paper clip or something similar. Then you can go around the post to pull it out a little bit. Just until you get a connection. Be careful and don't use too much force or you can damage the atty.

If it's not that then your atty is dead. Another thing I want to mention. Before you use an atty. You should drip 6 drops in it and let it sit for 10 minutes before use. This is what's known as priming the atty. Afterwards, you should drip 3 drops every 5 hits.


Hope that helps.

got another e-cigg with a 510 thread? like an ego or a box mod of some sort to test the 306 on to make sure its not just a dead on arrival atty?

which 306 atty is it? is it a joyetech? do you have/know how to use a multimeter to probe the atty and see if its getting voltage?

try it without the drip tip on it once, screw in the atomizer without the drip tip on it till its nice and tight, then see if it fires
