Pharaoh RTA with Reuleaux DNA 200 or RX200

[maninthemaze]

First of all, hello everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster.

I generally use drippers or Herakles tanks but recently fell prey to some hype of the Pharaoh RTA.
Problem is, it won't work with either of my Reuleaux mods. It simply reads "Check Atomizer". My TAB reads it fine. My IPV4 reads it, a Snow Wolf 200 sees it. even my old Aspire CF SUBΩ sees it.

Everything I've thrown at these mods have worked without a problem. I've cleaned the connections so I'm pretty sure that's not it. I'm guessing the Pharaoh's connection is too short for the 200's even though the pin protrudes pretty far, farther than most atty's I have.
Has anyone experienced an issue with this pairing?
...and if I missed a thread on this, someone please point me in the right direction.
Thanks.

Ahhh
Typical wismec 510 bullshit...

I haven't had a problem with any of my devices, except the Maxo. RX200, 200s, and the bronze LE DNA250 work fine. I have heard of others having that same issue, probably due to what EJ said. Inconsistent 510s are the bane of Wismec devices.

The Wismec 510 is too shallow. Use a nylon washer under the tank, or even a small o-ring, as a spacer.

Thanks gakudzu for the suggestion but as it turns out, quick use of a depth gauge shows the Pharaoh's 510 roughly a millimeter too short, just a hair over 4mm. My RX200s and DNA200 both are right at 5mm deep without compressing the pin. IPV4s and Snow wolf are right at 4mm deep. All my other drippers and tanks are 5mm or over, so that solves that mystery I guess. Only wish I thought about the depth gauge first.

Are you sure the pins in the mods aren't pushed in and stuck?

 

[maninthemaze]

As a matter of fact, I checked that. They're not stuck. So, against better judgement I dropped a little clip of 26 gauge wire onto the 200's contact pin, screwed on the Pharaoh and "pieyow!" she fired right up. Took it out and no fire.

 

[gakudzu]

Well that's just fucked up. So I'm guessing the + pin isn't adjustable on the rta then? Wow.
Man, I'm pissed off, and it isn't even MY problem, lol. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

 

[maninthemaze]

Nah, no adjustability that I can see anyway. Thanks though, I appreciate the feedback anyway. Gonna go back to the shop and see if maybe I just lucked out and got a defective atty.
