Sid vv/vw help needed

[briang83]

I purchased a sid with two type b atomizer and bot tell me low load on the screen. I have the voltage set to 3.7v . I'm using my old duel coil atomizer from my roughstack with it with no problems. Am I using the wrong atty?

What is the resistance on your atomizers? From a little research, I found that your SID will shut off if the resistance is lower than 1.2ohm.

You can find the manual here: http://www.smoktech.com/uploadfiles/uploads/2013-04-10/4740f5fd-f469-4d65-8faa-25c8ff2b6540.rar

There is also someone who was having a similar problem with their SID using RBAs. The problem with their "Low Load" was the incorrect resistance on the rba's from what I gathered. You can find that thread here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...stems/422399-aga-t2-smoktech-sid-problem.html

I hope this helps!

I believe it say 1.5 ohms...but some times it works maybe 10 percent of the time.

Check the connection to make sure it is screwed on all the way and it is clean (free from debris or liquid build up). When I put a new carto in my DCT, screwed it on and checked the resistance, it was up and down from 3.0 to 2.2. Problem was I just didn't screw it on all the way.

Another thing is that these atomizers can range in their resistance. In the factory, they may be shooting for 1.5ohms but the actual range of their product may be from 1.3 - 1.8ohms. It is also possible you got two bad atomizers.

With it working 10% of the time, it sounds like a bad connection. Maybe the type b is too big to fully screw down onto your SID. That 10% of the time sounds like when the ohm reader gets a good connection and reads accurately. I don't have any of the equipment you are talking about but thats my experience with other equipment

Well I cleaned my atty and the sid its self and still a no go. I guess they both could be bad but I only used my other atty once after this one gave me the low load error. Does any one have any recommendations for a good atty that will work with this? I don't want a tank or cartomizer

I've been having problems with the SID displaying Low Load with known good tanks. I believe it to be a defect with the SID rather than the tank. I've got a 2.4ohm coil in my ProTank and it works just fine on 2 other devices. Pop it on the SID and it reads Low Load.

As I've been writing this I've been playing around moving the tank from one device to another. Moved it back to the SID and now it is displaying the correct resistance. Definitely a problem with the SID although I don't know why this is happening.

The SID has a bad connection. Try lifting the pin up with a needle to see if you can make a better connection. The Sigelei's and SID's in this price range all have squirrely connections from time to time, though they use the same chips with the OLED screens. I sometimes cannot get the ego to connect right either. Make sure you're not overtightening. You can overtighten once and have problems forever, because you pushed the pin down. Easy fix though. Hand tighten only. No tools required.

You're exactly right about the connection. I loosened the tank just slightly and it's working fine now. Thanks for the info!
