Istick connection issue?

[TylerD]

Anybody have this issue?

The510 contact pin seems to push back and then loses contact with the atty.
If you wiggle it, it changes ohmage. I then take off the atty, pull the pin a bit out and then it's ready again for the next round till I have to do this again.
Bit of a PITA!

I now have a spacer between the tank and mod just to stop it from pushing the pin back.

ow no i have not had this problem yet man!

I hope you get it sorted out!

Not that bad, but just a pain. Works awesome when it works.
I think I'm just a bit rough with electronic mods.

That sucks, sounds like another trip to the dentist like the MVP(dental floss wrapped underneath the pin to raise it up). Luckily I haven't had that problem yet but I've been using the adapter it came with from the start, in fact I think Ive taken the adapter off 3 times haha

Random info inbound: I was up late last night looking for pictures of istick tear-downs and found one dude who swapped out his 510 connection with a FDV 510 and a battery swop using a 18650 3200mah Panasonic NCR18650BD (haven't seen a picture of the battery installed yet though)

Have no idea why he didnt just use this one from FDV

That's why I stick to spring loaded center pins.

I haven't had the issue either - what atty are you using?

You could probably get one of the rotating thingamajigs (it gives you a spring loaded 510)...that might solve your problem

There is a couple of people with this problem - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/variable-voltage-apv-discussion/601111-eleaf-istick-552.html
But searching through all those pages...




EDIT: A better link (well more direct if you will lol) http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ion/601111-eleaf-istick-543.html#post14547635

Does anyone know which atties seem to be causing a problem for the iStick pin?

@TylerD, is this with the kanger Aerotank? I assume its fine with the mPT3 because you use the 510/ego adapter

Looks like that adapter thingy may be what is needed to help the life of the thread and that pin issue

 

[Silver]

By the way, does anyone know where one can get a simple 510 to 510 adapter?

I recall someone wanted one a while back for a non-LP Reo. I just cant remember if it was available. Was it you @MurderDoll?

The 510/ego adapter in the kit works fine for ego threaded devices but for 510 devices one needs something else.

Yeah. It was me.

I managed to get a 510/ego adaptor.
I test fitted it on my Reo mini.
Unfortunately that's as far as I ever got due to it looking horrible on the Reo I didn't bother testing any further.

I thought you were trying to find a 510/510 adapter so you could put an atty on top?

I was. No one had any available. So I ended up getting a 510/ego adaptor.

 

[JakesSA]

Take care especially with the Magma RDAs, the 510 on those are longer than spec.

Yes, I'm using an Aerotanlk @Silver . I will play with the adapter a bit.

Adapter is 510 to ego
Are you thinking of modifying it?

VapeMob has some 510 to 510 adapters on their site but they are out of stock.

A 1-1.5mm O-Ring may help to prevent the problem of over tightening the atty, or issues with certain atomizers having slightly longer 510 pins.

 

[TylerD]

Ok, so I have screwed in the 510 connector and it's working a charm. Srew it in just a bit and then secure it with the beauty ring. Thanks guys!

Hi all, had the same problem. My Istick stoped fireing at times for about 2 weeks now. Irritating as hell. It would read normal 1.2 ohm and then suddenly 0 ohm, like there was nothing there or a dead short, hence the fault atomizer short. What happened basically was the insulator on the center pin begun to deteriorate. Device less than a month old though. Suppose it was made on a Friday? All fixed now , was waiting for a 510 ext to strip and use the insulator on it. I know hana's also have the same 510 connection, had this problem with a clone from Hcigar.

Spring loaded pins is the rolls royce
