I've had that happen on a couple of my mods, usually it was because I was using an adapter. Once I had it from a Vivi Nova...the thing's center pin was sticking down almost the whole length of the threading.
The fix is pretty easy, but you've got to be delicate. There's a ring around the center pin that isolates it from the negative, be careful not to damage that. If you take a small knife or something rigid that will fit in there, you can gently pry up on the center pin. Don't try to yank it all up at once, just gentle work your way around, prying up on the center pin. It won't look like it's moved...it's not going to have fallen down that far though. You probably will look at it and think that you need to do more...don't. Try it first. If it doesn't work still, try a little more.
Also, make sure that your tanks/cartos that weren't firing on this, will work on something else. An old eGo battery that you've got lying around or something. Sometimes they do just die.

Harbor freight sells a set of dental picks cheap, they work great for adjusting center pins, and come in handy for many other uses.
