What is a 510 Contact? Talk to me like a child... because I am a baby at vaping

Everybody had to learn this stuff the first time, don't worry. The 510 contact is the place where the atomizer screws into the battery/mod. Male threads on the topper, female on the mod. The electrical connections are negative in the outer threads and positive in the inner post.

510 contact is the connection between the tank and the mod.

Hi Locus0fcontrol.

Just to give you some of the Lingo we use. The Cube shaped Pieces that have the built in Coil/Cotton wicks, we call those "OCC Heads".

And the Round Piece where you put your own coil in and then your own Cotton Wick, we call that the "RBA Section".

Any time you put in a New OCC Head, you do need to put a Few Drop on e-liquid on the Cotton to "Prime" it. 3 or 4 Drops should be Enough. Just do it until all the Cotton Wick you can see is Saturated.

---

The Ohms jumping around or Not being the Same number as on the OCC Head is a Sign that you are Not Making a Good Electrical Connection somewhere.

I would Take the Tank Off and then check that the OCC is Snug on the Base. Not Tight Tight. Just a Good Snug Fit. Then put the Tank back on and might sure it is Snug.

Now put the Whole thing onto you Mod and Gently screw it on. When you feel it is starting to get Snug, look between the Mod and the Base of you Tank. Do you see a Little Gap?

If there is, and you can screw the Tank a Little More, go ahead and do it. But if it feels like it Doesn't want to screw down anymore, Don't force it.

Now Check the Ohms by pushing the Power Button to turn the Screen on. It should Read the Same Number that is on the Side of the OCC Head. Like .5 or .6 but Not 2.4 if you have a .5 Ohm OCC Head.

If it Doesn't, or if the Ohms are Bouncing around, then you Probably need to take everything back to where you got it and have them take a Look at it.

Hope this works. And have a Great 4th of July either way.

Thank you so much! Everything you stated I actually did because I watched a huge amount of videos lol thanx for thr heads up on thr terminology. I think somethi by may be wrong with the mod because after changing the coil and cleaning it and making sure everything is tightened. The ohms kept jumping to 2.6... 3.1 and went back up to 9.9 again. I took the sub tank off so I wouldn't burn the could out again. We shall see tomorrow. !

Ahhhhhh gotcha! That seemed fine but I suppose something could be wrong with it. Hopefully it's just the system and they will give me a new one lol

the 510 contact is where your tank or atomizer screws on to your mod/ device - I believe the term '510' came from the type of threading in the connection - it is the standard connection now for devices and atomizers/ tanks

Hey No Problem.

Sometimes half the battle when you are New is Figuring Out all the Lingo and Abbreviations we use.

It sounds like you have Done Everything right. So I think you may have a Problem with the Center Pin of your 510 Connection on your Mod being Too Low. Or there could be a Problem with you Tank.

Either Way, the store you got it from should be able to Diagnose it for You.

Enjoy your 4th of July. And let us know what you Find Out when you take it back to your Vape Store.

Thxď

Did you rinse and clean the tank before using it the first time?

I was set to wash all my tanks and clean a new one, got distracted before getting to the new one and ended up not rinsing it....OH BOY will I never make that mistake again

I'll make sure to do that. Never thought of that. The subox was actually faulty. They replaced the entire thing and gave me 2 free coils and juice! [HASHTAG]#winning[/HASHTAG] lol thank you for the help!

Good Deal.

This is why I like to see people who are New to Vaping buy their first Setup from a Local Vape Shop.

You pay a Little More. But being able to walk in and Ask for Help, or do a Return on the Spot is Big Plus.

Glad you are Up and Running. And let us know if you have any Other Questions.
