Help with vision v2

[runningwolf]

Hi,

Whatever i seem to try i can't get hardly any vapour coming from my vision.

It was working brilliantly and then all of a sudden it seems to have stopped.

I tried cleaning, tried different juices, tried changing batteries.

Can anyone offer any advice.

Not a good day not being able to vape in the middle of moving house!!

Can you hear the coil hissing when you press the button?

If not your coil may have gone, swap it with one of the others you got with it.

[runningwolf]

Yes i can here the hissing.

Then check that the coil is screwed in tight on the central post and that everything is tight and no air is getting in.

Try a different coil see if that improves it, your coil may be gunked up.

Try a different flavour?

OH hang on!....................

Is it a Vision or a Ego Vision with replaceable coils?

[runningwolf]

No it's not, I've tried different liquids, tried dry burning. I'm at lost. Maybe I should just order a new one and go on the baccy until it gets here.

Well, I order about 4 or 5 Visions at a time, that way if one wimps out you've always got a backup, when I get down to the last 2 I order more.

The mantra for this forum is "Get backups for your backups!"

Good luck!

Runningwolf, how long have you been using it for?

[runningwolf]

About 3 weeks

Sounds like it will be coming to the end of it's life then Wolf.

I thought they were meant to last ages if you kept cleaning and dry burning.

3 weeks is not bad! You could try a good hard dry burn, getting the coil nice and red hot, it may blow though! If that does'nt work you can recoil it or pass it on to someone that will scavenge it for parts.

They are a "consumable item" and anything over a week in my book is good.

I've just tried to dry burn. It does get hot but not red hot. It doesn't glow. That's after trying it on and off for about half an hour. Does that mean it's buggered?

[DiscoDes]

What hapens is that carbon deposits build up on the coil and stop it atomising the juice. Dry burning burns off this carbon and turns it to soot.
You could try one more thing but it may booger your stardust totally. After dry burning it get a pin or watchmakers screwdriver and GENTLY scrape any carbon deposits off of the coil, rinse it out then try it.

With regards to the dry burn, are you rinsing it out first? As you dry burn, first the water should come off as steam then you get smoke (looks/smells different) this is the carbon deposit burning. Dry burn using a fully charged battery.

Hope this helps.

Thank you, will give it a go with fully charged battery
