New Titan 510, DOA?

[Vapalicious]

Hey folks. New vaper here... I've been using a Smoke51 I got from the mall for a couple weeks. I'm fairly happy with it, but wanted to delve into the world of dripping and liquids. So I bought a Titan 510 starter kit from Totally Wicked.

I got it yesterday. I've charged both batteries for 8+ hours. But the thing seems to be DOA. I've tried both batteries, both atomizers, and two different cartridges (in all different configurations), and I don't get a single puff of vapor. The blue LED lights up, but the atomizers don't even warm up.

I have to think I'm doing something wrong, or else I just have really bad luck. Am I missing something?

Aside from the obvious (you need to hold the button down while dragging), it is possible that for some reason the electrical contacts are not contacting each other. You can try to take a paperclip or small screwdriver and gently pry the center portion of the battery & atomizer connectors out just a little bit. They float, and can sometimes be recessed to where they are not touching when threaded together. This seems unlikely on a brand new kit, but you never know. Also make sure they are threaded together relatively snug.

If these are auto batteries (no buttons), then make sure you are taking a strong enough drag to keep the LED lit up the the whole time.

It is possible to get 2 DOA atomizers, but seems unlikely.

I got a full titan 510 kit, one batt died in a month, one lasts about 10 min now, bought a pcc with a doa battery, gave up and bought a janty stick.The 510 is ok when it works but wish I got the janty stick to begin with.
Did youre charger light turn green in about 3 min. indacating full charge?

i had the same problem with my 510 from wicked! send the whole kit or just the bat. back to them and they'll replace them!

Ok, I've gotten this narrowed down to one of the atomizers being bad. I did get one of them to work, but the other one won't work no matter what I do. Thanks for the tips!

Although, I'm not getting quite as much vapor as I would have expected. If I don't inhale and blow out immediately there is a lot, but if I inhale, even just for a second, there's not much. Maybe that's just a difference between this and my Smoke 51, which produces decent vapor even if I inhale for a while.

Remember you have two different animals there. Your Smoke 51 requires a stiff drag. The 510 runs best with a light, slow, & long drag. It takes some getting used to. Dragging slowly and lightly on the 510 gives the juice a chance to wick to give you the hit & vapor.
