watch out overtightening your atty

[macenzy]

i wish i had seen a warning for this earlier. but watchout for 306's on 510s, i just got my order today in from canvape and screwed in a 306 all the way, unfortunately it pushed in the contact point on a 510 automatic battery. just watchout for these things. otherwise an amazing atomizer and is definitely worth the money if you are carefull.

I'm confused on what happened. Only issues I've had with 306's is popping them (hot atty, cold juice in the winter).

Not really sure where you are going with that either, but it is always a good idea to screw things on just till they are not loose, never want to ratchet them down really tight.

Just curious, a 306 on an auto 510 battery? Still new & learning what will/wont work together. So I can't use a 306 atty on a 510 battery?

not really sure whats going on here. please explain your situation better. 306 work on 510 mods but not really sure about the auto battery, what happened? before you mention suppliers you should check and see if if it was something you may have done, kind of gives them a bad name because of our screwups.most of us are new and do stuff that aint quite right. im asuming that a 510 auto connoctor is diffrent from a 510 manual because there has got to be some hole for air to trigger a switch, and most auto batterys are too small of a Mah for LR 1.7 ohm attys, which is the only one that i can find on canvapes site,also it isnt a good idea because juice will go down that hole while dripping and into the battery. not sure what happened but sounds like you are using the wrong set up

You got to be careful when you are screwing things. Just snug it up and see if that makes contact. You can adjust the center contact point a bit. Also if you are dripping on an auto battery be careful. If you spill juice into the battery you can destroy it. That is why most people drip with a manual battery. Good luck

Tell me about it.......

Not vendor or product specific........ this was a user error in overtightening. The key is.... 'Finger tight', meaning tighten to make contact only, NOT reef it down until it stops (or breaks something).

(I'm correcting the title for obvious reasons)

Some things also seem to have longer threads as well . It is possible to lift the centre post on an ego battery just be careful .

If you over tighten an atty it will compress the insulator rubber in the atty shorting it out. It doesn't matter if it's a 510 or a 306 both will do the same.

This sounds like good information.

Impact wrenches are not required for this device.......just coax it along like a gentle........never mind

 

[Bdbodger]

You can actually adjust the draw a bit by backing it off slightly when it is tight . I know with a cartomizer at least that a really tight one can actually give less vapor when screwed down too tight . By backing it off slightly you can notice a bit more air can get through and you get a bit more vapor .

youre right sorry about not being specific enough. this i feel is a newbie mistake and 306's seem to work amazing. the reason i dropped the retailler name is that i have seen 2 pics of LR 306 attys, this retailer's protrude from the end bit quite a bit (you know what i mean its those 2 :legs: on the bottom). their service and price is great and their shipping speed is very very good. purely my own error and wanted to warn new about this

the battery. screwed in a longlegged 306 all the way to match the threading of an auto batt. center post gets shifted to the side and no longer worked. i would edit out the retailers name as this was user error if it was possible, kind of embarassing

 

[Kencalise]

Don't worry, feel free to ask. they are nice people.

 

[smokum]

No worries macenzy, noob misjudgements is what we're all here for to help with...... so it's allllll good !

Dripping on an automatic battery is a no-no ... So why were you using an atty on an auto battery? If messing up the contact didn't ruin it, a leaky atty from direct dripping certainly would have done the job eventually.

 

[smokum]

Dripping on an auto 'can' be done with certain atty's if your slightly experienced and use some common sense. Know your atty, test it to gauge its saturation point, vape it immediately until near dry, disconnect your atty when not in use (which in 'my' honest opinion shld be done on any device regardless).

I've punished the 510 LR bridgeless atty's from canvapes (read: dripped till it gurgled with use), and have yet to have it even seep the slightest at the connection point on ANY device I've used. I've even dripped it wet and let it sit vertical while connected to test if it would leak, and surprisingly (the first I've ever used that doesn't), it did not leak in the slightest.
