Viva Nova Help Please!

[taxman32]

I use the Novas almost exclusively and have had very few problems however last night I picked up my favorite PV (ZMAX) and tried to vape. I tried but didn't get any vapor at all. Oh well, change the head and everything would be fine. Didn't happen! I tried the Nova on two different units and the same result. New heads but no vapor. This had happened before but I decided to ask the gurus and gurettes if there was anything I could do or check in order to revive the Nova.
What could possibly be preventing the current from getting to the coils? Any suggestions?

What PV are ya using?

If an eGo or sim, your center posts/contacts may need to be lifted a 'touch'.

Battery may be dead.
Contact post may need to be raised
Try charging the battery
I've never heard of that happening.

this is a common problem with the novas in most cases the contact post moved up inside the nova stem or the battery contact on your mod was pressed in too far. try another device on the mod to make sure it works, make sure the head is tight on the nova.

I solved this by using a 510 to 510 adapter. never happened again.

1.Tried on two different devices
2. Battery is fine
3.ZMAX
How to you lift a center piece? And is this only applicable to an EGO?

Thanks for your responses. I'll check back in the morning but this has happened twice so just hoping to resurrect them.
Thanks guys!

It's not strictly egos, don't know about the zmax but it was happening to my lavatube.

I often have to tighten the head (inside the tube) as it seems to work loose
