Lots of trouble with 510 connection!

[rj9923]

So I recently removed the chips from my IPV4 and rewired it to take a single battery. I did this because the battery on my Ijust2 finally died, and I had this broken IPV4 laying around that someone gave me...

The 510 connection has been driving me crazy. Out of nowhere it will start barely firing. By barely firing, I mean you have to hold down the fire switch for a long time before you see any vapor, and that vapor is barely visible. The corner of the mod where the 510 connection is also gets very hot when this happens.

It takes a while of tweaking with loosening or tightening the screws on my RDA, or the 510 on the mod in order to get it to work again, and then a few hours later it will stop working again.

I know that it is not shorting out because I use my multimeter to test the 510 connection and it does read about 4 volts, just the same as what the battery reads when it is removed.

Do any of you know some common issues with 510 connections and how you deal with them?

P.S. I've also used electrical cleaner on the connection as well as taken the screw, felt, and spring out and put it back together, and I made some good solder joints on it.

If that is happening, getting very hot near the 510, you either have a cold solder joint, or the wiring is too thin to handle the current. It could also be because the switch you are using is joule heating, probably not designed for that much current, the heat conducts into the metal case.

Have no idea what have you done since I don't have any of those reg mods but it seems that your 510 has higher resistance then your coil. It's sucking up the power and heating up instead of your coil. No good buddy. Your 510 became your coil. Dangerous.

The connector is commonly grounded through the case and it sounds like your ground circuit might need attention. Bad grounds are a very common problem with electronics.
