SteveZakNYC Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I had this problem-- no pump, no heater, and I found this post, found the thermal trip, pressed it, and viola-- there was copious haze and the gawds were most pleased. Thank you! That is the thermal trip.Afraid not. That's a thermal switch, and is not manually resettable. The thermal trip in my Unique 2 is a small ceramic square with a lever that pokes out of the top. When it trips, the lever needs to be pressed back down. Have a look and see if your Unique (I'm assuming its a version 1) has one. Assuming the trip has gone the most likely reason (although not always) is from air traps in the line, often following a refill or if the brass collar wasn't engaged correctly in the bottle, which has allowed the vapouriser to run dry.Are you sure? The Unique 2 works by constantly running air through the heater block. There's a fluid pump which introduces haze fluid into this air stream, and the longer the pump runs the greater the level of haze/smoke. An air trap shouldn't cause over-heating problems. The most likely cause of over heating will be carbon build-up in the heater block. A thin piece of copper wire helps to clear any burnt-on deposits.

gyro_gearloose Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Glad we could help. Now you just need to figure out why it tripped in the first place. You might have a build-up of carbon on the nozzle of the heater block, or your air pump might be failing leading to the heater block over-heating, or it may even be the thermocouple on the heater that has failed. If it keeps tripping the thermal trip then those would be the next things to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
