Tank not working with passthrough?

[klobdob]

Hi All,

I haven't posted much here, but visit occasionally to read through.

I just got my new tanks. (I ordered a 6ml metal and a 3.5 ml, but received one of each of the 6ml types).

At first, I couldn't get them to work at all. There was no vapor, like it wasn't making a connection. I tried pulling up the center post. I tried it with 3 passthroughs and 2 batteries, nada.

I emailed V4L. They advised I make sure it was screwed on all the way.....

Anyway, I was able to get it to work on some of my batteries, but not all. Apparently I just by chance I first tried it on two that it won't work on.

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. I have about every battery V4L has ever come out with. Works on some stealths but not others, some diamonds, but not others, some manuals, but not others, etc.

Unfortunately, I can't get it to work on ANY of my passthroughs. This is a real bummer since my plan had been to use it at home on my passthrough.

Has anyone else had this experience? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks!

This doesn't answer your question, but there have been some issues on non pass-thru batteries as well:

Klobdob (sir or Ms.?) what wall adapter are you using? Tried 7 lying around at V4L while there, and have my own from them as well. 3 of the four black ones worked, 1 of the white. It's hit or miss due to the amperage draw. A 1.5ohm carto at 5v pulls 3.33amps. That's quite a lot to ask from a 2a wall adapter. The ones that do work, cuts the voltage severly (see tech info on DVCT thread), but they work. As for the batts, no issues thus far with any king diamond or stealth batts on my end...

Hi Morandir,

I have tried the white V4L slim wall adapter and one that came with my iPhone. I think that probably is the problem now that you mention it. Do you think a black one would work better? I only have white ones, so I will have to order one. Thanks for the idea! (oh, and I'm a girl name is Kat

Ms. Klobdob can't guarantee it will work, though the black ones seem to have a better shot. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.
