New CE4's won't work, no heat or vape. Used to usual breaking in quirks

[GipsyJaeger]

Hi guys,

recently bought some CE4s online, and the first couple in the bunch don't seem to be working, ive let them soak in the long wick for 10 mins, and the battery lights on, but there's just no discharge at all... heat or vape.

Any ideas what the issue is?

thanks

Possibly the battery device itself. The pin may not be making contact with the clearo. This used to happen to me a lot. Take a small screwdriver or knife or something and "dig out" the pin on the part of your battery that makes contact with the atomizer. Even if that isn't the problem its not going to hurt anything and its quick and easy...

Probably this ^^^. Here's a video of how to fix it. He's doing it with an eGo battery, but it's very likely the same with whatever battery you have. Don't put too much force on the pin and do not fire the battery while you're doing it or you'll cause a short.

Let us know how it goes

Did you get them fixed? when I first started vaping a year ago next month I was using ce4. Sometimes I would buy them from my local smoke shop back then and I soon came to realize that half the time they would sell me BROKEN ce4s!! They looked ok on the outside but they wouldn't work and it wasn't a issue with my contact pin. If it's not your contact pin, and they still don't work I would contact the seller and have them send replacement ce4s. Back then I started going back to that store that sold them to me broken and would get replacements. After that it seems he stopped selling the broken ones! Hopefully the seller will send out replacement ce4s for you. But I would defiently contact him and try. Best of luck!

Hi guys, yeah tried that pin trick, seemed to be working fine on my battery tbh I'm fairly new to vaping so I wouldn't imagine the pin would've stuck this early haha


Think it's genuinely a dud, contacted the seller and he's sending out a full 10 pack replacement so I'm happy with that. Seems CE4s just have duds on occassion.

Thanks for the help anyway will remember in future!
