Sooo I shorted out the Ultra...Now it won't fire

[MatrixTech]

So I shorted out a batt using an oversized spacer and now it won't fire I've taken everything apart cleaned and swapped everthing out...erggg, still no fire, I figure it has to be the switch..I completely understand how this mechanical device works and I feel stupid right now..

I also thought that I understood how it worked and tried everything when it would' fire properly
It turned out to be some tarnish in the treads to the atomizer that I forgot to clean properly. I took the atomizer interface, switch and the pellet and gave it a good rinse in vinegar. After that it worked flawlessly.
Good luck

Thanks JA...gotta be something in this switch..I don't have my meter with me today

I didn't noticed any unusual metering when I messured.

I saw your other post about the switch coming apart. Make sure the small round brass piece that connects with the atomizer has the beveled side facing up. If you have the flat side facing up it will not activate the atomizer. Try that out and see if that was the problem.

Make sure the battery or atomizer aren't shot too.

Beveled side up, new atty, new batt...no fire

Oh no!! Did you get things sorted out?

 

[MatrixTech]

It ended up being the sleeve, it was catching and not going up far enough to make contact with the switch..

 

[plessdude]

How did you remedy this problem? I seem to be having a similar issue but even when I unscrew the atty holder portion and make contact with the spring directly mine is not firing. Atty works just fine on my Provari so its not the atty. The firing pin has been cleaned and the spring seems to work just fine.

Glad it worked out. I suspect that when it shorted out it also partially welded the battery sleeve to the main body creating a little ridge of metal. That's my guess at least.

I ended up filing the sleeve down about 2mm from the edge, very light filing and at a slight angle.

Sounds about right to me, thanks again N8T

Are you still having problems with your batt sleeve?

Polish the inner housing and tips for the battery sleeve. You can also press/depress the connector and spring assembly with your fingers to "loosen" it a bit to make it easier to slide. Once it breaks in, it is very easy to slide.

The less pressure you apply on the sleeve towards the housing wall, while still sliding the sleeve up, the more consistent it will fire.

Still having the issue. I cleaned the he'll out of my Apex and am not having issues with the slide. Unfortunately I'm on vacation and can't get to my spare Apex until tomorrow. I am going to try and using the firing pin from the other one and see if I can isolate the issue. So glad I brought the Provari with me.

Well I can confirm that my firing pin is broke. Switched the pin from my other Apex and it works fine. I guess I need to contact Innovaper and try and get it replaced.
