Shorty Auto Problem

[Garblesnarf]

I cannot get the auto switch to trigger on a 'newer' shorty. It's about 60 days old and wasn't dropped or anything.

Any tips or tricks on trying to fix the switch? I regularly used rubbing alcohol to clean the threads on it and it worked great up until the last time I pulled it from the charger.

Thanks.

My only thought is maybe the switch is stuck somehow from dried juice or something.

Get a paper towel and twist a corner of it up enough to fit in the center 'air hole' of the battery. Chance are, some juice leaked out of your atomizer and into the battery and it's preventing the switch from activating. The paper towel will wick out any juice that is in there. Hope this helps.

you can test to see if the vacuum switch is working by sticking a carto cap on the ash end of the battery....... the pressure caused by the silicone cap should activate the switch.

Thanks, I'll give them both a go when I get home and report back.
