Clutch x18 not hitting as hard as usual?

[Bravoroni]

Hey Guys,

I have 2 clutch X18 mech mods. For some reason one (The black one) is hitting much weaker than the other (Gunmetal). This just started today. Prior to today, they both hit equally hard.

I have tried swapping the RDAS to see if it was related to the build / coils or RDA. But the trend continues. Whatever RDA i have on the gunmetal one just hits much harder and ramps up much faster. Both RDA’s are the same (Asgard minis) with the same exact coils and the same exact build (Dual 2.5mm Aliens @ 0.1). But as mentioned above i did swap the RDAS and whichever one is on the gunmetal mod just ramps up way faster and hits much harder.

I also tried with several sets of fully charged batteries to rule out a battery issue. I even put the batteries from the gunmetal one in the black one, and still didn’t see any change.

My only guess is maybe some of the contacts on the inside are dirty or damaged? If so how would i go about cleaning them?

Or if anyone has any other ideas as to what might be the cause please let me know.

Thanks!

clean the 510 connection on the mod with a q-tip and alcohol. also clean the threads on your rda and see if that makes any difference. a good ground make a big difference.

I cleaned the 510, and the threads of my RDA. It seems to have helped a little, bit its still not hitting as hard as usual. I will take it apart tonight and clean the internals. Hopefully that helps.

Thanks!
