Ego replaceable clearo V3 has issues

[GothicLord]

Ok so got a V3 ego clearo yesterday, and it's already killed 2 atty heads. The 1st was the stock 2.4 ohm what cam on it, the 2nd was a genuine vision 2.8 ohm.

Both have worked fine and vaped well, then somehow died between uses. I have stripped it down and checked the connection, both times, and all seems fine, not even slightly loose, no moisture in the connections.

On both heads I used them about 3 - 4 times, then it just stops working. I have ruled the battery out, as my mini nova is still running the original 2.4 it came with, and is used heavily every day, also all my i3/ce2 clearos are working fine.

Anyone got any ideas??

I wouldn't rule the battery out, the centre pin on your other things may simply be lower and still able to make the connection. I would still try gently raising the centre pin on your Riva battery and see if that works

And make sure the attie hasn't come unscrewed when you took the top cap off

ok so it is the centre pin, but only seems to be an issue for the V3, my mini nova and everything else are firing fine, , and are screwing down level. I wiggled the pin up, and got the V3 to fire, switched back the nova, which as always fired fine, then put the V3 back on and nothing, tested a couple of cartos and ce2 clearos, all fine. Might have to see about getting a 510 to ego adapter just for the V3, so I can keep the pin setting for that and not have to worry about the rest

Goth is the centre pin on the nova visibly longer? Can it be screwed in a bit or filed down? Or the pin on the V3 screwed/pulled out a bit?

[GothicLord]

nah it seems that it is shorter that the centre pins on everything else I own

[Gordy]

you may be able to prise the connector down a touch

[GothicLord]

cool, what would I need for that?? needle nose pliers??

If you've got any I just prise it up with a small screwdriver as I have similar problems with my CE4's if I change from twist to ego mini as the twist centre pin is higher than the mini. Dave

When it comes to tools I got jewellers tools, computer tools, an army surplus bomb disposal tool kit, and several other random things will give it a go in a bit......... fingers crossed

The thing I don't get is why the nova works fine and the V3 doesn't, when they are from the same company

[GothicLord]

cool, thats worked a treat working fine now and can switch back and forth between the mini nova and V3

[Gordy]

the pins all vary and move from atty to atty ...so sometimes they need a little tweak
glad you got it sorted now goth

[GothicLord]

have added a small screwdriver to my riva kit just in case this happens again turns out the original 2.4 atty head is dead, so was half right on the OP

[Ellen]

Glad you have the problem solved

lol I have a feeling that as much as I want to, I will never master everything when it comes to vaping but hey, learning is all part of the fun
