No I don't think it's the positive top connection, if that was getting hot enough to heat the tube then You would also be getting it hot enough to melt the board inside. I think it the actual body is not earthing correctly between the two halves. Try bending the whole thing in the middle, just flex it so that the halves rub at the internal press fitting. It my rub through any surface oxidisation that's causing the resistance. I see similar issues on classic bike electrics. Thank you Mark! I found this thread because I was having the same issue with my SS version. Heat at the top of the battery, short battery life, poor hits, and no "rattlesnake" sound like it used to. I was also getting the dreaded "02" error and shutdowns. So I did what you suggested. It rocked a tiny bit one way, so I turned it over and did it again. It moved quite bit more and made a metal against metal sort of "pop". I fired it up and it's vaping like new. No heat, no errors, the rattlesnake sound is back, and it vapes like crazy. I have seen complaints where the unit would error out unless the bottom section was removed and used with the shorter battery. Sounds like the same type of issue, but at the screw connection. So it looks to me like there is some drawback to this type of design, perhaps mainly with the SS version. Brass is softer and may prove to maintain better connections at the body joints. Well done!  |
