K-Box Mini not detecting new tank

[DenverDave]

When I change the atomizer on my K-box mini often it does not stop blinking "9.99" and the message "New Atomizer....?" Does not appear. Some tanks like my Crown 2 seem to suffer from the problem less than other tanks like my TopTank and Sence Herakles Plus. I have tried turning it off and on, taking the battery out, nothing is working.

Did you try lifting the center pin on the K-box mini up a little bit? It might not making complete contact with your atomizer.

@Tam is correct.  The Kanger mini boxes have a spring-loaded pin, but it doesn't take much for them to get gummed-up from leaking juice or dirt.  Once they are "sticky", they won't spring back into proper position to make contact with the tank, especially if the tank's center pin is short.  Remove the battery to prevent shorts, and then lift the center pin using tweezers or gently "pry" it up using a small screwdriver wedged into it from the side.  It only takes a tiny bit to make contact again, so don't try to pull it all the way out
