Turn it off !!

[Deleted]

Has anyone noticed that it's getting increasingly rare to find a box mod that will actually turn off properly?

I think the last one I had that will.....and then needs a full five clicks to come back on was the Sigelei 100w+

Everything else either will only lock instead of turning off........or will turn off with 5 clicks but will wake up in a locked state with ONE click.

My SMY60TC turns off fully, and turns on in a ready state. But its crap....Well mine is.

Oh yeah...Smy 50 TC does too............but I forgot about that as I don't really use it either.

It's also crap (at TC)

Yea its a bit strange really as switching it off is basically locking it too, I think the isticks switch off too, not sure about all of them, the older innokins too, maybe new ones also. The mvp 2 was tricky sometimes to switch off though, it would fire if not pressed 5x quickly. Wonder whether the mod switching off is safer than having it locked or maybe its the same thing.

I know what you mean though kreed...Someone found a nice 50W TC mod the other day with retro dial that you 'roll' to adjust power etc. and on/off button that you turn to switch off.
All those menus and button presses to do anything is a pain.

If you lock it......it still uses the batteries for monitoring I think.

I had one mod totally drain 2 batteries to the point I thought they were goners..............but managed to resurrect them.

It was locked.....and in sleep mode but I forgot to take the batteries out when I went on holiday.

Sometimes things just get too complicated for their own good.

Wow! yea with many mods it can be hard to keep track of everything too, I think thats what empties batteries on old phones too, some kind of monitoring that goes on even when theyre switched off, though it could be just old batts heh

All my mods turn off properly.

The coolfore 4 has the switch at the bottom.

The m80 locks with 5 clicks then you can go into the menu and switch it off Then it's five clicks to switch it back on and another 5 to unlock it.

The 40w istick is five clicks off five clicks back on.

Maybe I'm just picking the wrong mods then.

TBH......I never think to look if they do or don't but I might have to start.

[VapingBad]

Lock should be good enough, the circuits are always connected to the battery so there is no off even if it seems like there is.

No it's not something I look at either. I just happen to have bought mods with that feature.

I do make sure they're all off when I go to bed too, before I would just take the battery out but now all my mods have build on batteries.

[Deleted]

Maybe then that if you make a mod with built in batteries it MUST have a proper OFF system?

[vapee]

Maybe the only ones that are fully off are the mech mods when in a locked position, I guess a good precaution is taking off an atty though but it certainly wears the 510 down heh

At the moment I have an ipv mini2, a clouper mini and an ola x hero 30 on the go. Each turn off completely with five presses of the fire button, and turn back on likewise.
