Why do most of my attys not work with (Maxi) Roughstack?

[kgeiger002]

My 510 atty shoulder does not touch RS receiver; can see small gap.

That's how I'm certain protruding atty center post is kissing RS center post.
There has been some buzz about some atty/carto center posts not protruding enough.

If outside diameter atty shoulder is kissing RS receiver then tis possible atty center post not kissing RS center pin?

Clear as mud?

I agree that could be the problem if it weren't for the fact that my 510 to 510 adapter has a protruding center post. And also that my 510 to 808 center post does not protrude and is flush but yet my cartos all fire up. I can't find a common denominator.


I appreciate everyone's time and feedback.

Does RS voltage (no atty) w/ switch actuated match batt voltage?

What is resistance of attys that don't work?

They all give me a reading of of about 3.2 to 4.5

Should rule out batt over drain.

Problem w/ more that one batt?

I only have the two batts that came with it so I can't test it at the moment other than with both of them.

 

[kgeiger002]

emus I do appreciate all your feedback. I have to step away from my laptop for the time being. I'll keep everyone posted.


Thanks again

good luck with it, a ticket I had this week was answered within a few days being that they've been pretty busy there... Hoog and crew will fix the problem for you, no worries...

Two batts resulting in same problem makes batt less suspect.

Did you have a chance to pull atty and verify RS is consistently producing same voltage as removed batt?
I'd stroke switch several times to check switch health.

Another way is to remove batt and check resistance as switch is stroked several times.

Let me explain.

I need two 3.0 bats to work with my maxi. So that's all I got right now. Trust me - at this point I think just getting another RS - the shorty one which uses just 3.7 v is a good choice for me. At which point I will have a brand new cap with circuit.

That will tell me two things:
1 - that I have a problem with the original cap (or not)
2 - and if all my attys are not compatable with MV's Roughstack


So right now - I'm just waiting for MV's to be stocked up again. At which point I will buy a shorty RF.

I might even buy their "bargain bin" ego "knock off" to use with my working 510 attys.

Trust me - I was really hoping not to have all this grief! ...but I'm really liking the RS even if it's not my first choice on working with 510 attys. It works like a champ with my 808 cartos - which btw are "turbos" from 'Vapernine"


To me - and this is my simple mind thought - if I can fire up a 808 carto with the 510 adapter then I should not have a problem with 510 attys. It really should not be this complicated!


Hoog - when will you be restocked????

 

[emus]

Ohhh...one set of batts...sorry.

Can't rule out batt malfunction.

If the lowest resistant attys are malfunctioning then perhaps a batt over drain fault.

BTW maxi RS w/ the single 4.8v batt is on my wish list.

the other thing you can do instead of getting a new end cap...they had over a dozen switch assemblies in stock this morning, pick up one or 2 (have a spare on hand) and try that out...if it ends up being that, then it was less you spent..you could always see about sending the 'old' one back to Hoog instead of the whole endcap or roughstack for repair or replacement...

 

[hoogie76]

Thanks - I do have a ticket with them already - just hadn't sent it back yet. But now I have tried to fix it myself (i.e. replacing spring) so I would think I voided warranty.

Hoog - did I void the warranty?

Nah, we really stand behind these and continually fix them way past the warranty date. It's a bummer that you had issues with yours but we actually get so few repairs that we like to see them to see how we can improve them. The new batch is supposed to be ready next Tuesday so we should have plenty of parts in and can probably send you out a new one and just have you send back the old one..

good luck with that bud... with the ticket and sending it back to Hoog and crew, they'll get it all fixed for you ...it took approx 3 days from the time I put in a ticket, recently, and the time they responded because they've been extremely busy there...

During the week our response is much faster but the weekends are miller time I work about a 16 hour day most days of the week between the warehouse and then buying at night so to not get booted from my house I spend weekends with the family..
The guys in the warehouse work about 10 hours a day average and we have 2 peeps that are level 1 on tickets. Not that we get a lot of trouble tickets, tons of questions and wholesale requests, which is good

Tickets logged on late Friday or on a weekend day usually get answered on Mondays..

Our ticket queue shows oldest to newest so it should be right on the top of the list..

Thanks so much Hoog! I'm going to order your ego knock off so I will at least have that before I send the RS back.

Question - should I send the whole thing back or just the top cap?



Also - side question? Is there a single (long) battery that I can order for the maxi RS in order to vape at 3.7v? ...or do I need to oder the regular RF bottom tube?


Thanks

18650 will fit

Thanks pwyll! ...just placed my order!

Did you have room in your cart for the 4.8v batt?

No I just ordered the 3.7

Next Tuesday? Do you mean July 26 or Aug 2nd?

 

[kgeiger002]

Well I sent the whole devise back for repair. I hope it comes back (working) to the point that I like it.

I just posted a ticket on this very issue. I gave this as a gift and there are issues with the 4.7 (or 4.5 can't remember which) ohm attys - keep poppin and fryin out after 3-6 hits off a new atty. Hope it's not the roughstack Although good to see mad vapes standing behind and repairing. My friend did a fix on his...did a review on it - he really likes it. Just gotta figure out the atty issue....
