vivi nova not making connection..

[iamtumus]

okay, so on my gp paps my vivi nova won't fire. my era atomizer still fires on it, but the vivi nova won't.
the vivi nova works on my uranos mod. i've pulled the center pin on the vivi as far as i can, and screwed the connection on the gp paps up.

any ideas?

oh also, it worked a few hours ago and just stopped working.

Could be a build up of gunk on the threads or the center post. Clean with a qtip and alcohol. Also the center post on either the atty or the battery may compressed in. Can work it up with a jeweler size flat blade screwdriver or small needle nose pliers or even a paper clip. I'd work on the atty side first. Also I have found that using 510 to Ego or 510 to 510 adapter on batteries helps with that problem without messing with the contacts.

Also, in case you had just changed flavors, make sure the head is screwed down good.

To work it back in place with the center post facing you pry up on it with something or use the needle nose pliers to pull it out or tweezers.

i;ve pulled the post...and it works fine on another device.
and other attys work fine on this device.

oh well...i bought the paps as something to use the era on,but sometimes i need a tank and the switch on the uranos has too much resistance it hurts my finger

check and make sure the atty is tight, the center pin on vivi novas float...if the atty isn't tightened down, the center pin will move or even push up into the base and not make connection

oxidation on bottom switch was the issue. cleaned it off.
