How to fill a Stardust?

#Dumb Question 1002

Hi, I have the adapter for my LT and added that and just filled up the chamber but I'm not getting anything at all, is there some sort of priming that needs to be done to the wick or something? Not hearing any pops or bangs at all......

firstly make sure you havent flooded it but taking it off the stardust, putting some tissue under it and blowing gently down the mouth piece

next is to see if its firing at all ... you shoiuld be able to hear it firing... may be worth tring it on the riva to make sure its working Tim

It does take a second or two for the juice to soak into the wick.
Make sure your juice has come into contact with the wick ends by
tipping it.
Otherwise, it may not be contacting at the centre pin. Get a pokey
thing and try wiggling it down a bit.

You should at least get a hissing sound if the ends of the wick are wet. If they're not, just tilt it to bring the wick in contact with the juice.

The other more likely possibility is that you're not getting an electrical connection between the LT and the coil. If it was a battery I'd say try carefully lifting the centre pin a bit, but if you have the same 510/Ego adapter as me the centre pin is fixed. This means you have to fiddle around trying to get a clean connection, check also that the connector well isn't flooded with juice.

Third possibility is a duff coil, try testing it on a Riva/Ego battery without adapter to eliminate this as a reason. You may have to lift the centre pin by gently levering it up a mm or so.

Thanks for the suggestions, no, none, tried on Riva (with centre pin lifted a bit) but absolutely nothing. I got two tanks so going to try the other one as well. So it is a simple as filling the tank, tipping so wicks are wet and off you go yes?

[domesticextremist]

Yep.

[Globalbloke (Tim)]

Yup, other one works fine, this one is dead, glad I bought two!!

Now, because this was DOA I wonder if I can get another one sent out, guess they can't be repaired easily?

[Gordy]

they can be repaired VERY easily but you should get a replacement as its doa

Hi all,
Just out of curiosity, how full do any of you fill your stardust.
I fill mine to the 1.6 ml mark.
Can I fill it right up to near the top of the clear rubber thingy or am I doing it right staying at the 1.6 ml mark.
I keep thinking I could get more in, but I'm scared I will damage it if I put more in.

I would keep it below the silicone cap..

Overfilling won't damage the stardust but e-juice may leak down the center hole and damage your battery. The newer versions with the little cone minimize this risk when overfilled.

keep it to the mark... you can get more in but i find the performance suffers as it floods the coil and as macca says you'll increase the chance of leaking

Ok,
Cheers guys.
