VTR wheel issue, not the threads.

[DasFriek]

I've searched and not seen this particular issue or fix.
My threads are fine, but the spinning wheel looses it's electronic connection and reads (NON or 9.9 I forget which) and it reconnects with a spin of the wheel but reads the ohms oddly. I will repost the displays actual reading once it happens again.
I'm thinking dirty contacts under the wheel are to blame, but I dont want to tear it down without more research.
Its not under any warranty either.

This is a well known issue. So much in fact the newer ones have a fixed wheel that no longer spins. If yours isn't that old I would contact the seller or innokin about a swap.

I bought it used from my local shop with no warranty. Maybe Innokin might fix it since it does look new, but I have no box or paperwork.
Is there any info on fixing this yourself? I like the VTR so much I don't think I want to live without it for long.


(Edit) It seems this may be more of an issue with Protanks, so if it gets worse I can try a few different 510 connectors.
I use an Aero tank with a PT2 base as it flows more air oddly enough than the Aero base wide open. The slotted 510 connector is the reason. But the Aero base being different may work better for a good connection.
