RBA Battery trouble...Help! Magneto//IGO-w4

[Land0Calrissian]

So i finally got my Smoktech Magneto, batteries, and RBA-stoked! but having issues firing..

I got my first coil done at a local shop and it rated at .4, checked it at home on my ohm reader at .6, used it on the dude's mech and it worked amazing. When I connect the magneto to the W4 it barely works...the coils do not light up, barely any vapor production
Recharged all batteries to full charge.
Checked on different Carto tanks-fires perfect.

I believe I have a V2 cap already

Does anyone have any ideas of what I should do??

Check your contacts. That battery rocks, make sure your contact pin to the atomizer is making full contact.

Could be loose post screws. That's my bet.

How do I do that?

The Magneto's center pin on the top connector may need adjustment a little higher. Tweezers or a small jeweler's screwdriver can tease it up. Same could be true with the IGO's center post.

Checked they seem snug

i feel like it has to be the top cap thing you mentioned...any tips im worried about pulling too hard on the springs

Uh...is your battery charged? Just in case...

 

[Land0Calrissian]

I think its the center pin Its working fine with my cartomizer tanks, Im just having trouble pulling the spring higher

 

[Land0Calrissian]

unscrewed the bottom part and realized there is not spring that is adjustable from the outside, its encased inside plastic---any one have other advice?

The center pin on the Magneto should be adjustable with a flat head from the inside...

I tried to tighten it all the way so the pin would be higher, but it still does not fire the IGO

I went back to my local shop, troubleshooted with the owner ended up trying their store magneto top cap with mine and it fired the atty. I was hoping not to spend more right now because I just bought everything (batteries, charger, mech, atomizer) but I did order the top cap from a different vendor, hopefully this is the fix and I don't need anymore to make my mod work.

The Magneto V2 top cap should have a spring loaded center pin. Check to see if it is working properly by pressing the pin down and seeing if it springs back up. If it does NOT spring back up, the spring inside may be broken.

This very thing happened to my son's Magneto v2. Spring broken, took the plastic assembly apart and replaced the spring to get the mod operational. I ended up getting him a replacement top cap anyway just for kicks.

Same thing happened to mine. Seems like the springs that are in the top cap can't take the heat and they fail. Mine failed after 4 days. i ended up buying a 510 top cap that is adjustable. No spring= won't fail.

how did you disassemble the plastic part?

Take the cap off and unscrew the center pin. Take 2 pairs of pliars and with 1 grab on to the white plastic and with the other pull on the copper flat head screw and it will pop off. It's kind of hard. Takes a little force. Once you get it apart you can see if your spring is damaged. Mine looked burnt in the middle and lost its springiness.

I do prefer a manual floating pin over a spring-loaded floating pin, less to go wrong, or a screw in adjustable pin like on the Nemesis. Bummer that you are having problems.

The 1st version had a fixed pin. The 2nd had a screw in adjustable pin. The 3rd is the floating pin with the shotty spring. The v2 is far superior than the others
