new itaste v 3.0 dead

[richo71]

Has anyone suffered this problem with a dead itaste vv 3.0. Upon opening it today i have this problem, it will not turn on with the 3 clicks, it won't fire at all, and when I plug it in to charge, the button flashes Red/Yellow/Green all the time the display shows 888 and then 1 = 1 (the equals sign is actually 3 lines but I can't type that here) and it doesn't charge either. So it seems to be completely dead.

heard this before on here richo71... if i remember correctly they won't turn on unless there's a certain charge level in them, maybe leave it on for an hour and try to turn it on again.. or search the forum to find the relevent pos/thread

Not something I have come across, but I do have a question, is there an atomiser attached?
I wasted about an hour yesterday trying to find a problem with a new mod, which turned out
To be a short in the atomizer I had put on it.

No atty attached, i literally took the shrink wrap off as it only arrived today, opened the box tried 3 clicks nothing went to plug it in and it came up with the 888 then a weird 1=1 symbol and the light show i have just mentioned which is constant, on the light show it flashes red,amber then 4 flashes of green all constantly repeated whilst it is plugged in

richo71 - looks like you have a faulty one - just have it replaced - have several itastes - and never had this problem - so send it back

[Die5el]

My I taste v3 became faulty after 3 months of very little use can't send it back as vendors only give 3 months warranty


Sent by pigeon mail

My first itaste vv3 did exactly the same after 2 minutes of use, the iclear 16 was fine on another battery. Ended up returning it to the vendor, not had another one do it since...so far

[richo71]

Thanks for the replies, i will send it back then cheers all

Die5el - just had a quick look here and found this

Q. I've heard that under European Union (EU) law I'm allowed a two year minimum guarantee on goods. Is that correct?
A. EU Directive 1999/44/EC states that all European Union member states must allow consumers to make a claim for faulty or misdescribed goods under their consumer rights for a minimum of two years. English law already allows you to make a claim for up to six years from the date you bought the goods and for up to five years in Scotland. Therefore if you buy any goods from any other EU member state, you can assume that you can make a claim for faulty or misdescribed goods for at least two years after. See the 'Buying goods - your rights' leaflet for more

I did not read the whole thing - but I would contact the vendor again -definetly
