Can You Take the Mouthpiece Off of a Tfv8 Big Baby Beast

Don't know if this has been brought up, simply I've discovered an issue with the RBA contacts in my BBB.

If you lot look at the base of the RBA, at that place's a broad bar that makes contact with the firing pin. What I've discovered is that when the Tank is screwed together tightly, this bar is pushed downwards and so far every bit to make contact with both the pivot AND the surrounding base, causing a short. I've never encountered this with coils, but since I prefer the RBA, I've had occasional issues when putting in new coils. Looking at the bar and inside the base of the modern where it screws in, I can see a small-scale black fire mark on both. Doing some research, another person said nearly of the bar and the base on their BBB was black. Basically, I cannot screw the tank together as tightly as I ordinarily would, as too much pressure from the chimney to the RBA would push the underlying bar too far down. I'd bear witness you a film of the burn marks, only I don't desire to disassemble the tank again considering it'due south working at present.

Here'southward the Reddit link where I got the info: https://www.reddit.com/r/electronic...psa_tfv8_baby_beast_coilbase_shorting_issues/

At some point, I guess I will lightly grind downwardly the edges of the bar to preclude contacts in the future.

That is all.

He institute the problem by putting a shorting atty on a mech. Damn lucky he didn't blow his stupid ass up.

Whatsoever idea if this aforementioned issue happens with a TFV8? I've been having all kinds of issued with mine. I can't run across any issue with shorting on the coils or the outer sleeve, merely keep getting "Do non corruption" bulletin with a crazy high resistance reading or "Resistance Too Depression" with 0.00 resistance reading. They seem to go from i to the other while screwing/unscrewing and telling it that it's a new coil...

Any idea if this same issue happens with a TFV8? I've been having all kinds of issued with mine. I can't see whatsoever issue with shorting on the coils or the outer sleeve, but keep getting "Exercise not abuse" message with a crazy high resistance reading or "Resistance Too Low" with 0.00 resistance reading. They seem to go from 1 to the other while screwing/unscrewing and telling it that it's a new coil...

Information technology could be that the base of operations of the coil isn't screwed tightly into the body of the coil. That happened on 1 of mine, and caused it to do what you draw. I didn't even realise it was threaded in, until information technology came loose.

I'll requite information technology a whirl, simply I retrieve it's good... :shrugs:

I've heard of people needing to exercise a piddling fleck of filing or grinding on the RBA for that very reason.

First shot is after screwing into the Conflicting with no gyre on. Shows how far it pushes in the pin. Second shot shows after I screwed in the RBA. That's how far information technology pushed the pin out.

Would I have to remove approx that much from the bottom of the RBA? If and so, would that potentially mess up the RBA for use on other mods?

If I recall correctly, it's not the lesser that is shorting only rather the two ends (corners) of the RBA positive protrusion/pin. If there is enough "meat" on the bottom of the RBA positive protrusion/pivot you may endeavor taking just a footling off of information technology being careful to not take too much and arrive too weak.

Where I have circled?

Should the 510 pivot be in contact with the brusque protrusion on the bottom of the RBA? That's what's forcing the pin out when I screw in the RBA.

Yes and yes. I would circular off the corners a bit where you have circled. The 510 pivot sticking out isn't the problem, in fact it's good to have decent clearance or distance. The pivot is the positive and the threads are the negative (on the RBA, Base of operations, and 510 connectors).

Sounds like dremel time! Cheers for the aid! I'll report dorsum.

I don't take my Big Infant with me to look at. I would utilise the bottom of the pre-made coils equally a go by since they work without a problem. Just go like shooting fish in a barrel with the Dremel Tool... you tin always have a lilliputian more off only one time it'south off, it's off.

I don't have my Large Baby with me to await at. I would employ the lesser of the pre-made coils as a get by since they work without a trouble. Just go like shooting fish in a barrel with the Dremel Tool... you tin e'er take a little more off simply one time it'southward off, it'southward off.

Measure twice cut once.

This is a Cloud animate being, just same theory. Sadly I have no coils for comparing. I have some on the fashion though. I tin can wait it out.

I've had problems with the big infant animal included RBA. If it's screwed in TIGHT it will definitely short out. Do Not employ this on a mech or other device with output protection! Aside from that, it vapes dandy.

I'm at a loss. Zilch volition work. On my alien I get a brusk no thing what ringlet I'chiliad using. Q4, short... T8, short... RBA short... When I put on the 213 plus works fine. My Alien works fine with RDAs, all other tanks I have (2 big babies and a baby, all piece of work fine). I don't become what'due south going on.

My Conflicting works fine with RDAs, all other tanks I accept (2 big babies and a baby, all work fine). I don't get what's going on.

Take you tried measuring the resistance between the positive pin and the threads on the Modernistic while depressing the pivot to run into what happens?

Sorry... It would take you having an ohm meter with leads. How about triggering/firing the Modern with no Atty on it and pressing the positive pin further downward to meet if it suddenly shows brusk at some betoken (being careful that you lot don't crusade the short).

Y'all could use a small-scale screwdriver, pen, or anything small enough to accomplish the centre pivot of the Modernistic without touching the threads.

I accept found that if I spiral the rba onto the lesser of the chimney so the base onto the rba it helps. You may go away with just doing that. I also took the Dremel to the bottom of the rba not just the corners merely clear across. And put them together as stated above and combining these ii steps haven't had any more than bug.

In that location are 2 problems with the rba base of operations. The threads permit it to screw into the base farther than the stock coils and it is slightly taller than the stock coils.

I'k having problems with BOTH of the Aliens I purchased, one nigh 2 months ago and the other but about 3 weeks ago. Ridiculous for the amount of money I have spent. On the older i it's just not working, looks similar it'southward firing but no heat whatsoever. On the newer one I'thousand getting the Atomizer Also Brusk and Don't Abuse Protects messages. I tried all the basics, taking out batteries, firing up and selecting Aye for new coil. I'm not handy with tools and other technical things beyond. I ordered a new IPV8 as my IPV2 didn't take these issues. Are Alien's just pieces of junk???

I actually dear my Conflicting but my first 1 the screen just went completely expressionless, I call back that and then many are mass produced makes them hit an miss. I retrieve Smok mods are really good for wattage fashion but they have QC issues. Personally all my smok mods have been flawless. Simply outcome I've always had is my showtime alien.
I got the don't abuse protects message too btw only that's a message telling you non to fire the mod without an atomizer fastened. Information technology should not merely come up up with the message at random.
I definitely don't recall they are garbage though cos when they piece of work they are great.
I've had this one for a year!

Did yous use the other glass that comes with the rba, this glass is taller than the glass for the stock coils, that may be why information technology's screwing too far down in the base and shorting out.

The coils that come with the RBA are known too short out, information technology'south a mutual outcome.
I'd advise putting your ain build in, loads of people had problems with the claptons that come installed for some reason.

• #34

I'1000 having issues with these same messages on my conflicting. Random don't abuse protects and atomizer short letters. I've got a make new Merlin rdta on it. I did everything I could with the atty and it only comes at random

My first alien did it but had my replacement for a year an it's non done it one time. I call up the alien is striking an miss just my osub 80w does it equally well & it'south so annoying

Usually smok include a warranty carte du jour on the box, I got my replacement merely they took the piss. The client service is a nightmare is a nightmare man. Alot of Chinese companies are bad for it

Well afterwards some more investigating information technology may be my merlin or the coils. I'thou running some fused claptons. I took the atty right off and put information technology on my back up mod and it wouldn't fire. I took the cap off and pushed the coils in and it started to burn down. The coils might be too big or shorting or something considering my little eleaf 80w is solid. Over a year with no issues. I may demand to downsize on coils a bit

PM me if your struggling at all your right though though ipower is dandy, I have the wood consequence 1! Anyway... if it's anything like the merlin mini information technology doesn't take massive builds equally it's an MTL atty if I remember correctly

Sorry for the n3cro, just I'yard having this problem with my V8 stick, and my mechs. It damn virtually vented my hohm work/life batteries, got em so hot that the wrap split at the bottom... I'm kinda mad about that considering I bought them at vape shop prices.

So I screwed it into the V8 stick, and it wouldn't fire.. Then I screwed it into the tab, and it read out at 0.06 until I screwed information technology in really tight. So it reads out right.

Strangely plenty, information technology works fine on the wye 200. So I'm trying to burn down through this tank, then I'll try this YouTube solution. I don't understand why it works on my regulated modernistic, but I'm kind of miffed about it killing my mech mod batteries, and not working on the stock modern. Here I was okay with smok until today.
