I would suggest that you get an eGo and do some research... you have a faulty mod, and you are using batteries that are not recommended for use in vaping.

What atomizer are you using?
What resistance is your coil at?
Do you own an ohm reader?
Do you own anything that can read battery voltage?

Check out the information in Baditude's Blog before you go any further: Bad's Blog

It is a very good thing it isn't firing, the battery has only a 10a continuous discharge rate.

Most likely you are exceeding the upper limits of the battery's PCB.

Wrong battery for vaping use.

In the top there is a small set screw and sometimes it isn't set out far enuff and you need to unscrew it so it make good contact with your tank. Worked for me.

It may be no contact. Does the mod rattle when shaken? Also you may also getting different batteries. Trust fire batteries no bueno. Always invest in good quality batteries.

It is apparent that you aren't quite ready for a mechanical mod. You need to learn, first, battery safety. Never, ever use any battery with the word "fire" in their name. Learn which battery you need based on the amperage draw required for your mod, the higher continuous discharge rate the better. Get genuine AW IMR 1600mah, VTC4 or 5, and there are others that have high enough ratings for use in a mechanical mod. Also, learn how a mech works. It's obvious there is a connection problem. Probably the atty to mod 510 connection.

Kaezziel asked questions in post #2. Answers to those would really help us help you.

STOP using the Dreadnaut NOW. Your battery is the wrong type and you are likely triggering its safety mechanism which stops it from firing. If you do that too often the safety can fail and the battery could explode. In your hand and/or inside your mouth. That will hurt a lot.

I suggest you do a lot of reading here: One Stop Reference Shop For New and Experienced Vapers. Start with the set of links in the group that starts with "Battery Info 1 Thanks to Baditude". Read anything else that has to do with sub ohm vaping, mechanical mods, batteries, ohms law, you get the idea.

If I were you I would really consider buying a eGo type battery and a tank to start vaping on until I got all this figured out. I use mechanical mods now, but I vaped eGo batteries for a few months to get to know how vaping worked. It would be too bad if you hurt yourself before you get the hang of this stuff.
