I am so pissed off and upset. Why can't anything work

[ruffdog]

Had my Cloupor DNA 30 Hana clone bought ffrom a member on here. worked ok for about 6 hours in all and now is dead.
All it says is "Check atomizer" I have pulled the centre pin, tried different batteries, Different atomizers everything. 
Was working fine,  although some tanks won't fire on it.   Was out Monday night when it packed up in the evening.
No word from seller yet.
so that's about the same life as i got from the SID that also went faulty.

I'm really really pissed off.

Ruffie.

you should get a mech and a kick a mech will never break on you and if it does its a easy fix, sorry to hear bout your hana clone, was it the add saying it was in perfect working order the black one?

[ruffdog]

yep

[geordie_vaper]

Hi mate it is a easy fix if you have a soldering iron mine did the same. assuming that yours has the same problem,
(2) unscrew the earth wire and solder it the the 510 it make a better earth, (1) or for a simple one just try tighten the earth screw up some times that will do it. (Mine was a extreme case) hope this helps

I agree, the earth connection can be shoddy, even on the genuine ones. Definitely try this before condemning it.

I've even seen a broken wire on the power connection to the 510, so check that too

Hi. I have a dna20 hcigar thingy that does the same. I have to use an airflow thingy on it to get anything to work. Can't think what the proper name for them is but you know what I mean. The one everyone recommends using to protect threads on evic and the like! God! If I had any hair left I would say I was having a blond moment........

Starnge you should mention that. I was using one of those air controllers on my clone DNA30 to protect the threads. After about 3 weeks I kept getting the 'check atomizer' message. A quick fiddle would get it working for a couple of minutes before I got the message again. Didn't matter what I used, or where I set it, it would always do the same. I've checked it over and it's spotlessly clean. Even so a soak in IPA made no difference. Just wants to be a diva I suppose.

I've removed it and everything is fine now.

It doesn't make any sense as the centre pin is a solid piece.

they work on sending the negative throw the body hence the term earth wire but because the box/body is anodized some times it dont make a good contact and needs some tlc

If you take the cover off you will see a wire screwed to the casing just below the 510 connector. Undo it and give the end a good clean and the bit where it screws and then screw it back on tight.
If this does not work then it will need soldering directly to the negative part of the 510.
I think what causes this is that if you get moisture between the 510 and the outer casing it breaks the connection.
Its happened to mine after only 2 months so ive got a sprung 510 from fat daddy vapes and im going to swop them when i get round to it

[geordie_vaper]

i would get my money back on person who sold you it, in the advert if it was stated all in working order and to have it a few hours to do that really isnt on, just my opinion

Def ask for a refund as you are covered by distance selling regulations on ebay.

[geordie_vaper]

it was of a member on here

[ruffdog]

Still no reply from seller.

I will try your suggestions tomorrow morning.

Thanks
