Has anyone gotten a cart that doesn’t work at all but after a few months out of the blue, you try it and it works? It’s happened to me twice this year and it’s tripping me the fuck out. Same battery, same cartridge, different day. I’m hoping someone can think of a logical explanation so I don’t have to believe in magic. Right now I’m thinking it’s either my own personal “Mandela effect”, like I swapped to a universe where it worked. OR it’s some kind of magic, whether that’s an angel or a goblin or a ghost or something idk.

    I think the resistance of the coils are finicky too, I’ve fixed some carts by putting it on a battery with adjustable voltage and turning it to max. Makes it work with the other batteries again. So try a newer fresher battery, older batteries loose voltage over time and may not be able to trigger the coils with current charge.

    Could likely be partly to do with the wicking as well affecting the coil resistance.
