Very odd battery / atty problem! Please help!

[Marcus123]

Evening all,

Day 5 of vaping, day 3 with Riva 510, LOVE IT. Vaped a couple of chocolate tanks this evening and i'm definately addicted to it!

I have a problem which i truly don't understand...

I have two identical new Riva 510 batteries, Ego tanks and both a SR and a LR ego atty for use with.

This evening I've been using my SR atty and battery A(to differenciate it from the other battery). Battery A dies (flashing button), so i charge it. I continue vaping with battery B, still using the same tank and atty as I was before, all is well. Anyway, 4 hours later i note that battery A has a green light, so swap back to it. It doesn't work. I've changed nothing else, but battery A will now not power my SR atty. SO... the strange thing is that i then put on my LR atty and it works fine. Back to SR, doesn't work... so, is my SR atty broken? Well, no, its not as my SR atty is working fine with battery B! WTF?!

So...
Battery A, SR atty - NO POWER
Battery A, LR atty - vape time!
Battery B, SR atty - vape time!
Battery B, LT atty - vape time!

I noted some moisture when i visibly checked the connection between Battery A and SR atty, dried with toilet paper, blew through SR atty, but still no change.

Help please!!!


Many thanks,

Marcus

I am unfamiliar with that exact battery, does it light up without any atty on it, it might be the position of the center post on the atty, it might have gotten pushed in a little bit when it was put on battery b and now is sitting too high to make contact with battery a.

hope this makes sense

The RIVA 510 battery is by all accounts almost identical to an Ego 510, and it's a manual. If i push the button on the battery when it's NOT connected to my SR atty, it works... but when i connect it to SR atty, it does not. .....but of course, it does when on the LR atty... so the issue is this link between battery A and my SR atty (which works with battery B)!

This is what i was trying to explain, i would bet money this is what it is.

I agree with DC2. Try adjusting the center post of the atty, it could have slipped a little or it is just a simple case of manufacturing tolerances lining up on opposite ends with that particular atty and battery

Thanks. I've looked at that link, however I am using tank atties, not standard, therefore the connector that you talk of adjusting is very difficult to access due to it being recessed in a coned atty. If this is the problem, why could it be that this possible problem with the atty would cause it only not to work with one of my batteries, when it works with the other?

It's not making the connection with the battery and adjusting it would fix the problem.

 

[Marcus123]

ok.... it wasn't as easy as the pictures in the link (because of the tank atty design), however i have managed to get a finger nail under it and have a little tug...... and both batteries now work with both atties. Thank you all so much for your responses. You are a wonderful community!

Wow, no idea of what that is except the LR pulls more amperage from the battery and maybe then it kicks in and the SR may have a circut issue. Guess you could just use the SR on battery B or order another SR atty and try it to eliminate if it is the atty or battery causing the problem.

Oh glad someone found the problem, good to know! Should have thought of that!
