Yes, it will fire a few times then fails with that error code and turns off. This is with a fresh off the charger 3400mah Panasonic 18650 and the 900mah 18350's supplied. Have not tried them stacked.

Start it back up and press the - button 10 times so it shows NO 1, ( avg MODE ) and see if it will stay on in use. for starters.

Nope, still same. Watching OLED screen in mirror while vaping it. Sometimes it shows LowV but when I check it tests at 4.1v. Other times its doing a sequence of screen flashes much like BIOS beeps. Self coiled atty head at 2.0ohms, never had an atty short error code and is constant reading the same.

p.s See PM Mybad cheers.

Right ok ,, I also have had this problem , The center pin on the pcb which is what your battery + side touches when you put the battery in has a bad connection , mine had very very little solder making the connection to the pcb and the pin, so I had to re solder it and it worked fine. this is only my guess what it is.

Did yours get quite warm/hot in the upper section (where the LED screen is) ? Mine wont even turn on at the moment.

It would not stay on long enough for it to hot hot anywhere. yours may be getting hot because of a lot of voltage getting through a very small but poor connection.

OK cheers fella. I'll give Vaporbreak a day or so to get in touch and see what the score is for returns etc. If the cost of return postage is silly money at MY expense I'll get the bench iron out and dismantle it for some resoldering.

On a positive note, I was given a big box of "Totally Wicked" Tornado eGo-C stuff today from the Wifes Uncle, so I have plenty of devices to last me through a day, and m DIY mixing is getting off the ground.

It is a straight forward job to do, find the vid on the vamo strip down first and follow that, as for sending it back I reckon its more bother than its worth that's why I had a go at sorting it myself, if you get stuck just give uz a shout.

Already watched Ryno's video earlier on the strip-down just in case, and have it bookmarked for reference.

You may find the hardest part is getting the top off, but be careful you don't just yank it off, taking it all apart is 2 mins of a job once you have got the top free and 3 to 5 mins to put it back together.
