eleaf pico - no atomizer display ?

[Terry Koontz]

Every so often when I push the fire button on my eleaf pico it shows “no atomizer”.
I’ve cleaned the pins on the mod and atty.
Any ideas why the message ?

Your atty is going too far down into the 510 well. You need to add a spacer to the 510 deck to allow the atty to sit at the right height.

That’s interesting since I bought the pico as a kit with the melo 3 atty.
Where do I get spacers ?

Have you checked the coil? Unscrew it and lightly screw back in

It doesn't really matter which atty is used. Got mine the same, with a Mello 3 mini, and it started happening a week later. I just used an old plastic card that I cut into a circle at first and that still works great. I also have some heat shields that I picked up at fasttech, but that takes a while to get in.

Maybe Google 510 spacer or heat shield for something close to you.

I've never used the mello tank on mine so it's never happened on my tanks (yet)

Justvsawca video thatvuse a small piece of paper or cardboardcas a spacer.
I’ll try that .

 

[SupplyDaddy]

I did that at first. Believe me, fine a piece of plastic that will allow the whole atty to sit flush.

Water bottle caps make good spacers.

I’d say I definetely need a spacer.
If I loosen the atty slightly, it works all the time.

If you're in the US, you'll have them on 2 or 3 days.

Temporary solution: place a 510 drip tip O-ring around the male 510 threads of the atomizer.

Only attach the atty until "snug"
Tight, torqued, wrenched, even firm, is too tight.

Appropriately, I tried a paper spacer made from an old Camel Blue hard pack !
Did not work.
I’ll have to add more layer.
If it works, it will be a good temp fix.

3 layers of camel blue box works.

I'm glad you recycled a cigarette product into something *useful*

Also glad your mod is now working.

I have some tramp art out of cigarettes boxes

 

[stols001]

You know, some of those cig cartons/boxes are made of really beautiful materials, BT really goes all out in marketing its products...

Which reminds me, gotta post my husband's "American Spirit homemade tin windchime" (I hear it now, LOL) pic and pics of the labyrinth... On my blog!

Or maybe here would be appropriate, at least the wind chime one:

Care to share some tramp art?

The only times I have had that happen with any of my battery holders (your pico in this case) is when either the coil has popped or the pin on either the battery holder or the topper (your melo in this case) is pushed in to far.

When that happens I use a pointed device (I personally use the end of a diamond coated fingernail file) to gently move the pin side to side on both the topper and the holder. I turn the battery holder off while working on the pin since my nail file is made of metal. This action tends to raise the pin allowing better contact between the 2 pins. This action may not help in your case but is a tip for future problems.

Depressed pins are usually caused by tightening the topper to the holder too tight. The problem of depressed pins on battery holders has been addressed by replacing solid pins with floating pins but if e-liquid gets in there it can make the pin stick thus rendering the floating action nil. HTH

This is a known issue with this version of the pico. That fix is on another thread in the forum.
My pico 25 does not have this issue, may be due to the way they redesigned the 510 base.
