Istick - Atomizer low ??

[igual]

Sounds like you have compressed the 510 pin down to tight.
Use a small screwdriver and gently pry the centre pin of the istick up 1mm.
Then get an old milk bottle cut a disc out same diameter as your atomiser.
Cut a hole in middle and put on to base of your Atty ( basically making a thin washer )
This should help stop you squashing the 510.
I would suggest getting the bendy adaptor from vapeescape as a long term solution.

All 3 of my isticks hate my Emow, it's also dodgy on a spinner 2 as well. Centre pin seems to be slightly too long causing it to shove down 510's.
All other tanks are fine, NV mini's, midi's, silo, nautilus mini's all work perfectly.

Charge on mine takes about 2-3 hrs, but only get about 2hrs use before the LOCK message appears?

Must be something wrong there as I am quite a heavy Vaper and a fully charged Istick would last me over a day. Sounds like a battery or charging issue.

On one of my isticks I started getting 'atomizer low' and then weird changing Watts/volts - ie I'd take a vape, nearly blow my head off, and realise it had suddenly switched to volts and gone right up to it's highest setting. This was with a RG200 (Nature Vape) tank.

Using a tiny screw driver to gently lift the centre pin seems to have sorted the problem

That is the first thing I do when it is saying LOCK, it doesn't make any difference.
There is nothing wrong with my or usb leads they are cleaned after each use and they are new from Myepack so I trust them.

I am sure when it says lock that it wants charging

Must try this knob-cleaning method. Sounds a lot cheaper than using ispopropyl alcohol (if a bit smelly).

+1 on this advice.

I was having a lot of trouble with the centre pin until I realised the 510/ego adapter that came with it was causing the problem. I used an o-ring to shorten the threads on it and it seems fine now. I've now got a 1mm gap between adapter and istick but I'll live with that.
