Think we broke the istick

[Mrsmac]

 So MrMac dropped his istick with his kayfun on top last night onto a laminate floor. At first all seemed well but within half hour the ohms reader was showing 0.0 and then either low atomizer, no atomizer or short. I ran several tests including taking down the kayfun and checking for shorts, screwing on a further two atomisers and pulling up the centre pin a little and it's still the same. It will work for maybe a few pulls then back to the same screen display.

The other tanks work on the other batteries...does this mean it's probably a loose wire inside and effectively buggered ???

Oh poo, that's the politest way of saying what I am feeling for you at the moment! I have no understanding of elecktrickery but I suspect you could be right. I'm sure more knowledgeable folk will be along soon who may be able to help you Mrsmac, but I feel your pain! icon_shoppingm

[Mrsmac]

I feel bad for him as we have 3 each, a tank on two of them, and a charged spare. It was just the night before I said that I am mindful that they are a disposable product of course we can share

[Perpetua]

Time to buy a spare, spare maybe Mrsmac.

FT have them:

And with Mistress Di's 10% dissie code they're such a bargain.

Its quite possible that the stress of hitting the floor with the Kayfun attached has knackered the connection to the 510.
Not having one apart yet i dont know if the 510 is a wired connection or directly to a board as there's not a lot of room in there for much wire.
You could get someone to break it down for you but to be honest as a new one is so cheap im not sure if it would be worth it

[VapingBad]

It sounds like the 510 got damaged, it might have just pushed the pin in or as @windows said broken a solder joint on the 510 wiring. Try pulling the pin up, it that doesn't work unscrew the top plate and look for a disconnected wire,

Mrsmac that's so sad. I find it hard to put used wicks in the bin just incase lol. I can't imagine having to put my wee pink shiny in the bin.
Hopefully it can be mended. Fasttech to the rescue

[Mrsmac]

Indeed, thank you all, I think I will secretly order him another from FT with that it gets here before Crimbo. I'll also take off the top and see if there are any loose parts but if all else fails then at least one will be on route

But shhhh, don't tell MrMac...its a secret, he loves the little things...bless him

Ye its a wired connection and the wires are bloody thin.
Just opened one of mine up, looks like there may be room to fit a sprung 510 like a fat daddy Vapes one in.

I've seen photos where this has been done already, can't find them atm but it looks like it can be done

[igual]

If mine suffers that fate I'll be attacking it with the dremel and soldering iron lol.

this is precisely the reason I don't have an istick!

Move over vamos....there is new kid on the block - the istick

[VapingBad]

This guy fitted a Fat Daddy 510 and larger battery, but had to 3D print a taller top.

tbh dropping anything with electricary in it isnt gona do it any good looking at no one particular 

if it is just a broken solder joint it shouldent be to hard to fix(kinda sounds like it is)if its at the 510 
but if its the board then it prob is time for new one

I can't promise anything but if you want me to have a look at it I will Mrsmac
