Reo not firing =(

[Huffapuff]

Please help me, my P67 has just stopped firing and I can't figure out why without taking it apart.

I've tried 2 different, charged batteries. I've fired the atty on another mod and I can see contact being made when I press the button. But still no joy

What can I do?

 

[GregF]

adjust the 510 up a bit. Sounds like its not making contact

Sell it to me

 

[GregF]

To go up turn clockwise, down anti-clockwise.
If all else fails, like @E.T. said, sell it to me

I had the same problem with my adjustable grand, as @GregF said, just adjust your 510 with the little alan key thingy. All should be golden after that.

I prefer the non-adjustable grands to the adjustable 510.

 

[GregF]

Did you come right @Huffapuff ?

BINGO!
Thanks so much

 

[spiv]

BINGO!
Thanks so much

So who'd you sell it to?

 

[Andre]

BINGO!
Thanks so much

That does happen from time to time. The adjustable screw has a life of its own!

Agreed, and it happens most of the time when I dont have that minuture allan key on me!.

Yeah, it seems so. Had me completely stumped - especially considering I've only had one atty on it since I got it.

So glad it's sorted now. Would've been sad to have to sell it after we'd just met

In cases like that a toothpick works too!

If you adjusted the grub screw up, evertime you take out and put the atty back it adjusts itself down if tightened properly. That feature is quite handy to get the atty facing the right direction.

 

[Huffapuff]

Ok, so I've got no joy again I've adjusted the 510 from bottom to top - even getting several mm's gap between mod and atty, but I get nothing.

I've tested everything on my grand, and the battery and atty work just fine. I've taken the P67 apart and wiped everything down, put it back together and it's just dead.

What else can I do?

 

[GregF]

I dont have a P67 but I would check
510 adjustment
contacts clean and making on mod
terminals clean on battery
Spring has not collapsed

 

[GregF]

It's a mechanical device so there isnt much that can go wrong.

 

[E.T.]

that is weird, just tighten everything on you atty and on the mod, make sure its clean and pop a fresh bettery in. .... if all else fails..... refer to my first post

 

[E.T.]

Which atty are you using on it ?

Sometimes on the P67 if you mash the button the "leaf" contact gets a bit jacked up and doesn't make contact anymore so if you take the door off and press the button, check if it closes the circuit, if not just bend the leaf a bit

 

[Moey_Ismail]

as you can see I'm a button masher myself so the upside down "L" shaped contact isn't perpendicular anymore, just bend it straight with a plier from time to time and it should be good

 

[Andre]

Do check if the spring screw (bottom outside of mod) is tight.

That's why I'm so mystified - it just doesn't make sense. I'm sure I'm going to kick myself once this is figured out!

Which atty are you using on it ?

I'm using my vaporesso transformer - which I've always used. I've also tried my hadaly and NaRDA clone. All work on other devices, but not the P67.

That was one of the first things I checked, but I can see contact being made.

It looked fine, but when I get back from the bank I'll take a closer look.

Thanks guys for all your suggestions, I'm sure I'm just missing something small.

As @Andre suggested, I also suspect the spring is not making good contact with the body. I would unscrew the negative spring and clean the threads with alcohol or something before re-assembly.

So it looks like you will be keeping the Grand now @Huffapuff

I'll wait and see, but yes, I'm using the Grand now
