Some attys won't work on my 5v passthrough

[silkakc]

Hello,

Some of my 510 regular attys will not work on my 5volt PT ( they are not LR attys). Would that indicate they are on their way to dying and their resistance has lowered? Those same attys function fine on my Riva and 3.7 mod though.

Thanks,
Lori

It could be that the center post inside the atty connector got pushed in a little and just doesnt make contact with your PT. You could try to gently pry it out with a needle or paperclip.
Also, yes the resistance could have changed on those attys if that doesnt work but that doesnt necessarily mean they are about to quit entirely

I have an XL atty that wasn't producing the way I thought it should on my 5V. I checked the resistane and it was 4.3 ohms. I then checked a couple of the standard 510 attys and they measured around 2.8, so I put one of them on the pt and it really made a difference. Lots more vapor and pleasure.
