Igo L Problem Shorting Out

[Timbo]

I came back to use my Igo L the other day and it did not work. Checked the Ohm's on my Vamo and it read 9.9 meaning it is shorting some where. 

So tonight I rebuilt it, still shorting out. I put a pre made coil I had and it is still shorting out.

It seems what ever I do I just get a reading of 9.9 ohms.

I have had this Igo L for a while and have rebuilt it successfully countless of times.

I am puzzled! I am starting to think that maybe it is the Vamo and not actually the Igo L, how to test that I do not know. I did not fancy firing the Igo L on a Mod just for any risk there actually is a short.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Timbo

It is probably a problem with the centre pin on the vammo not connecting with the igo

Ok thanks, any tips on how to fix it?

If you get a small screwdriver you can try and gently lever up the centre pin on the vammo
It is a common problem with them

You could always use a mulitmeter to check the igo build, chuck another attie or carto on the vamo to check that. If both work fine then like gordy says its a connection issue with the ig and vamo.

If the centre pins arent connecting you could always prise the centre pin up a bit on the vamo, just a smoodge and be gentle,you dont wanna pop it out and kill your vamo.

Here a vid on how to check resistance of an atty using a multimeter

Well that was the most simplest fix I have ever done! I literally touched the Vamo pin and boom it works!

Thanks a lot for the info.

And the problem is back again Last time I just literally touched the Vamo pin and it worked. Now im moving it so much im worried im going to break it.

I am now convinced it is the Igo-L. I have noticed the centre pin is flush with the threads. I have tried to lower it but not much success.

Think im going to file the thread down a smidge

[Timbo]

Well that worked. For anyone else who has this problem. I noticed the pin on the Igo - L was flush with the thread. I got a small file and took only a smidge off the sides so the pin protrudes just a little.
