V3 stick problem

[frequentflyer]

I am having issues with my V3 stick. It just produces weak vapor and not any TH. New batteries, several juices, and an atty cleaning later & I am really lost. I can't see the atty even glow at all. I gave used two attys so I don't think that is it either. Any suggestions? Its only two weeks old and worked great at first but has tapered off signifigantly.

Are you using the 302 attys or the 801s? I know the 801s are supposed to work, but I have much better luck with the 302s for some reason. Also, I have had mine a couple of weeks and notice that they need to be cleaned occasionally down in the hole that the atty fits in. All attys leak a bit and that build up can keep it from making a good connection. I use a napkin or paper towel to wipe out the bottom of the atty and a q-tip to get down in the hole of the Stick. Then I use a q-tip with a bit of rubbing alcohol to go over the threads on both just to make sure I've gotten anything that's dried on.

Attys don't last forever. Yours is probably dying. They usually last more than 2 weeks, but it's not unheard-of for one to die that soon. You can try to revive it with Highping's dry-burn method. There is some risk you will burn it out completely, but since it's not working anyway, you don't have much to lose. In any event, you should probably order a replacement.

Ok - so I got back to the house. I cleaned it out with rubbing alcohol and q tipped the connector. Still no dice. vaping is weaker than my 510 - actually close to Smoke Anywhere. Not good. I switched to an adaptor and a known good 510 atty from my silver bullet and it worked great. I guess it must be my attys then right? Anything I can do to help try to fix them?

Sounds like your attys are starting to die. I've given up on trying to clean them, or revive them. I figure if they last 2 weeks at least, I've way more than gotten my money's worth out of them. One atty costs less than what I smoked in a day and a half . I've managed to bring a few back for a few days soaking them in coke, back when that was the preferred method of cleaning, but I'm lazy and gave up on cleaning. I just blow them out every day or 2 and wipe the threads every day, if I remember. That said, most of mine last for a couple of months so I really can't complain .

One of the 1st things I did with my Stick was to get a 801-901 adapter. I got one built for the stick and one from a vendor. My stick vapes great with the 901 atty.
The 801, 302 and 112 all seem way to cool and weak on the stick.
Try a 901 adapter and even better get a 901 LR atty to go with it.
My stick is a great little vaper with it.
